Burton Custom vs Capita Mercury

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain and freeride riding. The Burton Custom uses a directional twin shape while the Capita Mercury is directional. The Burton Custom has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Capita Mercury uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Capita Mercury is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. The Burton Custom targets advanced riders while the Capita Mercury is aimed at expert riders.
