Burton Cultivator Flat Top vs Burton Process Flying V
Snowboards comparison — 2026-2027 season
How they compare
Both boards are designed for freestyle riding. 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 Process 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 $549.95 MSRP, the Burton Cultivator Flat Top is the more budget-friendly option.

What to inspect and what not to confuse when buying used. Not on-snow reviews.
Burton Process Flying V
The softest, most forgiving Process. Used examples are easy to find and often mixed up with camber Process listings. Park rash and folded edges are the usual deal-breakers — a newer season is not automatically worth more.
