Burton Custom Flying V vs Burton Family Tree Stick Shift Flat Top
Snowboards comparison — 2019-2020 season
How they compare
Both boards are designed for freestyle riding. The Burton Custom Flying V has a hybrid (rocker/camber) profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the Burton Family Tree Stick Shift Flat Top uses flat (neutral base between bindings; predictable, often paired with rocker toward tips/tail).

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.
