Burton Cultivator Flat Top 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. They share a twin shape — same shape at nose and tail; rides switch naturally. Common for park and freestyle. The Burton Cultivator Flat Top has a flat profile (neutral base between bindings; predictable, often paired with rocker toward tips/tail), 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 $399.95 vs $679.95 MSRP, the Burton Cultivator Flat Top is the more budget-friendly option.

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.
