Burton Counterbalance Camber vs Burton Custom Flying V
Snowboards comparison — 2026-2027 season
How they compare
Both target freestyle terrain, while the Burton Custom Flying V leans more all mountain/powder. The Burton Counterbalance Camber uses a directional shape while the Burton Custom Flying V is twin. The Burton Counterbalance Camber 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 hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). At $659.95 vs $679.95 MSRP, the Burton Counterbalance Camber is the more budget-friendly option.

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