Burton Custom X vs Never Summer Proto FR DF

How they compare

Both target all mountain and freeride terrain, while the Burton Custom X leans more freestyle. The Burton Custom X uses a directional twin shape while the Never Summer Proto FR DF is directional. The Burton Custom X has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Never Summer Proto FR DF uses cam_rock_cam_rock_cam (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). Both are rated 7/10 flex (stiff).
