Burton Cartographer vs Burton Custom

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain and freeride riding. They share a directional twin shape — mostly twin with a slight directional bias—versatile for all-mountain and some switch. The Burton Cartographer has a hybrid (rocker/camber) profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the Burton Custom uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The Burton Cartographer is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. At $499.95 vs $679.95 MSRP, the Burton Cartographer is the more budget-friendly option.
