Burton Custom 162

Often imitated, never outdone - the most trusted and versatile all-terrain board you'll ever find.

It’s a double decade icon and the most trusted board ever. Any trick, any terrain…the Custom delivers! Since its humble beginnings, innovation has defined the Burton Custom series and set it apart as the most popular, versatile, and mimicked board in snowboarding. These days, the one-board answer to all terrain adds exclusive ingredients like Carbon Highlights and Squeezebox core profiling to the mix for drastic weight savings, crisper pop and deluxe handling to pilot through the mountain’s mixed bag. The precision and stability of camber is the top choice for pros like Mikkel Bang. For all of you loving improved classic ones!

Riding style
With the Custom, you can ride both powder and park. No matter whether you ride one day or every day for 10 years, this board is suited for everyone.

Shape
Directional Shape: The classic snowboard shape, designed to be ridden with a slightly longer nose than tail to concentrate pop in the tail while still giving you plenty of float, flow, and control to rip any terrain or condition. Long before the hype about waved edges, Burton introduced frostbite edges. They extend slightly beneath your bindings for an extreme good edge-hold on hard-pack. Full of power when you need it and playful when you don't. Frostbite Edges are hungry for hard-pack while remaining smooth, flowing, and forgiving.
Pro-Tip™ is a tapered tip and tail thickness, which reduces swing weight for easier mobility.

Profile
The camber profile is an advocate of powerful turns and poppy precision, camber speaks to the core values of board design. Offering a snappy suspension, camber distributes weight evenly over the entire length of the board for smooth, continuous edge control from tip to tail.

Flex
The Twin Flex is perfectly symmetrical from tip to tail for versatility whether riding naturally or switch.

Construction
The FSC™ CERTIFIED SUPER FLY II™ 700G CORE features stronger and lighter woods targeting specific areas of the core to provide pop, strength, and reduced weight. Additionally, at the DUALZONE™ EGD™ design, the wood grain is positioned along the toe and heel edges on two continuous zones, perpendicular to the rest of the wood core, for consistent edge-hold and added strength. Squeezebox is a patent-pending technology which improves pop and performance through the balance of thicker, more powerful core sections with thinner, more flexible sections. Rider energy is transferred outward from beneath the feet, energizing the tip and tail while making the board snappier, more stable, and easier to manipulate. Carbon Highlights optimizes each layer of the fiberglass matrix and adds a full tip-to-tail carbon layer to reduce weight and fine tune torsional feel to achieve different ride characteristics. A 60° fiber angle creates a highly maneuverable and playful feel, while a 45° fiber angle provides a more aggressive ride. At the Sintered WFO Base, the wax is worked deep into the pores of this extremely absorbent, dense material. The result is an extremely durable base that stays wide open in every weather condition the whole season long.
Stronger, faster, easier, and more adjustable - The Channel™ gives you ultimate control of your stance and your board in a design compatible with all major bindings (not just Burton’s). In fact, Burton trusts it so much that all boards with The Channel are backed by a 3-year warranty.

This board is also available in 'Wide' version. These are wider than normal boards and developed especially for snowboarders with large feet (EU size 44+) to avoid too much overhang of the boots. Wider boards also give you better float in powder.
