Snowboards comparison — 2025-2026 season
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. Both feature hybrid (rocker/camber) profiles — mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile. The Burton Cartographer is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.

What to inspect and what not to confuse when buying used. Not on-snow reviews.
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.
