Burton 3D Fish Directional Flat Top vs Burton Custom X
Snowboards comparison — 2024-2025 season
How they compare
Both target freestyle terrain, while the Burton Custom X leans more all mountain/freeride. The Burton 3D Fish Directional Flat Top uses a directional shape while the Burton Custom X is directional twin. The Burton 3D Fish Directional Flat Top has a flat profile (neutral base between bindings; predictable, often paired with rocker toward tips/tail), while the Burton Custom X uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise).

Burton Custom X
Burton’s stiffest Custom. Used X decks show up less often than regular Customs, so a clean base can command more — but do not pay Custom X money for a Custom X Flying V. Check for chatter cracks and blown edges from hard charging.
