Burton Custom vs Burton Process
Snowboards comparison — 2025-2026 season
How they compare
Both target all mountain terrain, while the Burton Custom leans more freeride, while the Burton Process leans more freestyle. They share a directional twin shape — mostly twin with a slight directional bias—versatile for all-mountain and some switch. The Burton Custom has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Burton Process uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Burton Custom is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. At $549.95 vs $669.95 MSRP, the Burton Process is the more budget-friendly option.

Used market
What to inspect and what not to confuse when buying used. Not on-snow reviews.
Burton Custom
Burton’s long-running all-mountain camber board. Used Customs are common, so price the base and edges, not the season sticker. Do not treat Custom Flying V as the same used buy — softer flex and a different camber feel.
Burton Process
Burton’s softer, more playful sibling to the Custom. Used supply is steady; watch for park rash and blown edges. Process Flying V is a different board — more forgiving, less precise on hardpack.
