Burton Process Flying V vs Never Summer Proto Type 3
Snowboards comparison — 2025-2026 season
Compare two models
How they compare
Both target all mountain and freestyle terrain, while the Never Summer Proto Type 3 leans more freeride. They share a twin shape — same shape at nose and tail; rides switch naturally. Common for park and freestyle. The Burton Process Flying V has a roc_cam_roc_cam_roc profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the Never Summer Proto Type 3 uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The Never Summer Proto Type 3 is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
