Burton 3D Fish Directional Flat Top Splitboard vs Burton Counterbalance Camber

How they compare

Both boards are designed for freestyle riding. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. The Burton 3D Fish Directional Flat Top Splitboard has a flat profile (neutral base between bindings; predictable, often paired with rocker toward tips/tail), while the Burton Counterbalance Camber uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). At $659.95 vs $999.95 MSRP, the Burton Counterbalance Camber is the more budget-friendly option.
