Burton Blossom vs Burton Custom Flying V
Snowboards comparison — 2023-2024 season
How they compare
the Burton Blossom leans more freestyle, while the Burton Custom Flying V leans more all mountain. The Burton Blossom uses a twin shape while the Burton Custom Flying V is directional. The Burton Blossom has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Burton Custom Flying V uses rocker (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel). The Burton Blossom is noticeably stiffer at 8/10 versus the Burton Custom Flying V's 4/10, suiting more aggressive riding.

What to inspect and what not to confuse when buying used. Not on-snow reviews.
Burton Blossom
Women’s park/all-mountain Burton with a smaller used pool than the Feelgood. Listings titled Blossom Camber are the same family — still check the season and base, and do not overpay just because women’s sizes turn over slower.
Burton Custom Flying V
The catch-free Custom. Used Flying Vs are common and often priced like a camber Custom — they are not the same ride. Confirm the listing is Flying V, not Custom or Custom X Flying V, and inspect the base for edge blowouts.
