Construction and Materials

While it may not be as turbocharged as the Custom X, the Custom has more than enough juice to justify its semi-mythical status. Internally Burton have used their SuperFly 700G core, Duaizone EGD and Squeezebox technology to cut precious grams while still retaining maximum power.

Inlaid carbon additives deliver an ultra-responsive torsional feel, allowing you to manipulate the Custom underfoot and really drive power to your edges, which Burton have kitted out with their Frostbite technology for added bite and grip through the arc of your turns.

Burton’s channel system makes it super easy to adjust your bindings, slide ‘em all the way back when it’s been puking and you’ve got a ready-made powder board, especially if you choose the Flying V option with its rockered nose.

With a traditional full camber option and Burton’s own Flying V hybrid rocker, plus a stonking range of sizes all the way up to 170 Wide, the Custom appeals to a huge range of riders. It’s been Burton’s flagship snowboard for the past two decades, and it’s not hard to see why, up and comers and seasoned vets alike can find a dependable playmate with the Custom.

The Custom may be Burton’s most famous snowboard, but it’s by no means their magnum opus, the Custom X takes the core principles of its little sibling and augments every detail. That’s not to say the Custom is run of the mill, but those looking for the true high-end experience and are happy to splash a bit more cash- be sure to check out the X.
