The snow products we feature in our blogs have been independently selected and reviewed by our Auski team of snow specialists.
Burton has been at the forefront of many of the advancements in snowboarding over the years, creating ground-breaking products, supporting the best riders in the world, and encouraging more resorts to allow snowboarding, resulting in snowboarding's transformation from a backyard hobby to a world-class sport. With their involvement in sustainable energy, environmental health and safety, fair labour, and gender equity circles, Burton's reverberations are not restricted to the snow sector. Snowboards have come in a variety of shapes and sizes since Burton's inception, some of which have remained while others have not. Because the sheer number of options can be perplexing, we've broken down the new line into a digestible overview, highlighting forms and bends, riding types and styles, and size, as well as showcasing some of the brand-new artwork.
Looking for the best Burton Snowboards? Burton Custom Snowboards come in two different camber profiles: standard and Flying V. This board has become legendary, and it is suitable for intermediate to advanced riders. For someone who wants to ride everything, the Custom is the ideal option (on one board). The construction is a step up from the Process, providing a more energetic ride with dual flex and a directional design that is suitable for all circumstances. Choose the Flying V profile for a slightly more forgiving, floaty ride, or the standard camber profile for extra pop and speed. The Burton Custom X Snowboard is the perfect board for those who love the Custom but want a stiffer, more responsive ride. The Custom X has a lighter core with extra carbon added for rigidity, with the same form and profiles as the Custom. For aggressive all-mountain expert riders, this results in a lightweight, energetic board.
The 2023 Burton Custom Snowboard line has been marked by innovation since its humble origins, and it has become the most popular, versatile, and imitated board in snowboarding. The Burton Custom 2023 is a cult favourite with a history of good times, podium results, and all-mountain performance dating back over 20 years. You get all the aggression and stability underfoot that you'd expect from a cambered snowboard thanks to the Camber bend. The Custom is designed to be simple, but that's where the simplicity ends. An impressive array of technology awaits under the topsheet; carbon, multiple wood varieties, angles, and directions, tapered tips, and 3D core profiling. All of this adds up to a great board for anyone who wants to ride everything.
The Custom does it all, and does it well, from beginner to pro, park to powder. If this board appears familiar, it's because you undoubtedly witnessed Ayumu Hirano win a gold medal in the half pipe at the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games, so the Custom can do it all.

For intermediate to expert female snowboard riders, the 2023 Burton Feelgood Flying V Snowboard is the best all-around board in Burton's women's line-up. This board will be great for someone trying to progress all over the mountain, as it offers a little stiffer, more responsive ride than the Yeasayer, as well as more premium materials and construction. The women's Burton Feelgood Snowboard has been the defining force in women's snowboarding for two decades, thanks to Kelly Clark's support. It has a one-of-a-kind form and a positively forceful pop for Ferrari-like handling. The board's directional shaping allows it to readily manoeuvre through a variety of situations, making it our go-to board for tackling any terrain.
