Burton Custom vs Burton Process Flying V
Snowboards comparison — 2025-2026 season
How they compare
Both target all mountain terrain, while the Burton Custom leans more freeride, while the Burton Process Flying V leans more freestyle. The Burton Custom uses a directional twin shape while the Burton Process Flying V is twin. 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 Flying V uses roc_cam_roc_cam_roc (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 Flying V 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 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.
