Which snowboard is better- the Burton Custom or Burton Twin.?

Question

This is moving on from another question im asking. both the Burton Custom or Burton Twin seem similar in many ways and I figure experience of riding them will be the way to destinguish them best. thanks

Answer 1

they both suck. get a k2 www with rocker

Answer 2

Both boards are great in their own way. Burton does make awesome products and some of the hardest shredders I ride with kill it on Burton boards. The Twin and Custom are actually very simialar... both have negative core profiles, both have triax laminates, both are great all mountain freestyle boards. The biggest difference is that the Custom is a directional twin and the Twin is a true twin. This means the Twin is 100% symmetrical for a balanced ride thats equally versatile when ridden regular or switch. The Custom has a twin shape, but a directional flex. The Carbon I Beam in the tail not only adds uber pop and strength, it also benefits the slash factor in the deep snow.

The bottom line is the Custom is a little bit more versatile for the whole mountain. It is still a freestyle board at heart and kills it in the pipe and on the biggest booters, but it will handle powder and groomers just fine as well. The Twin is still versatile but really excels in the park. Choose accordingly. Email me if you have any further questions... I will be glad to help you out.

Answer 4

It really depends on what kind of riding you are going to be doing when you ask what snowboard is the "best".

Actually, Burton doesn't make the "best" snowboards at all - there are other brands that make better boards for almost all kinds of riding. Resist the "Burton Hype" of advertising and pick your own brand. Hard core riders are not going to be impressed when they see you on a Burton board.

Freestyle: Rome, Gnu, K2, Lib Tech

Freeride: Ride, K2, Nitro

Good Luck
