The 2008 Burton Custom X Snowboard: the world’s premier wood core board. The peak-to-park weapon of choice for DCP, Frederik K., Mario Grilc, and Kazu, the Custom X is the ultimate upgrade for those ready to ride at higher levels. Heli-accessed pillow lines, crap-your-pants Alaskan gnar, stadium kickers, or World Cup superpipes—dissect all elements with surgical precision, warp speed, and second-nature agility. With the Burton Custom X Snowboard, next-level freestyle is yours for the slaying.

  • Sintered WFO Vision Base — This pre-conditioned, wax-impregnated base accelerates past every other base out there. It features the fastest WFO base with the insane clarity of Burton’s Vision materials for hole shot speed and the poppiest graphics possible. Dragonfly Core — Incorporates over 500 independent laminations, each individually oriented within the core, to create the lightest weight, strongest and liveliest wood core on the planet.
  • Vaporskin — Drops up to ½ pound of weight while magnifying board feel; one of Vaportech's key ingredients. Less materials between you and the mountain means that you begin to feel your way through terrain with newfound intuition. Become connected to the mountain in ways never thought possible. Carbon I-Beam — More POP than Michael, less WEIGHT than Paris H. This ultra-light carbon backbone gives the board added pop and longitudinal snap.
  • Infinite Ride — No more break-in period. No more limp noodle. Flex and pop that stays true, no matter how hard you ride. This exclusive pop and power-enhancing technology allows them to break in the board for you, while also increasing its strength. Stainless Steel Pressure Distribution Edges — Superior defense against rust and corrosion for razor-sharp edges and hassle-free maintenance. Edges extend beneath your bindings to give you the extra edge hold you need to cleanly slice through bulletproof hardpack without changing the board's feel.
  • Pro-Tip — Another Burton first, tapering the thickness of the tip and tail dramatically reduces swing weight to help you get around that extra 180 also improves float in powder. Positive Core Profile — Thicker between the bindings, thinner towards the nose and tail. Drives you through a turn while increasing edge grip, response and carving precision.
  • Even Core Profile [on Custom X Wide] — All-around performance. Creates a consistent flex and feel, promoting stability at all speeds. Stiff enough to power through turns, yet playful enough for buttering and rails. Multizone EGD — Burton’s exclusive Engineered Grain Technology [EGD] takes edge control one step further. Transmits maximum power to your edges for precise carving and insane snow feel.

      Comments about Burton Custom X Snowboard 2008:

      I was on the 158 with CO2 bindings and driver x boot. This board had a good carving feel. I liked the pop it gave me off big kickers and cliff drops. The flex was perfect for big air and it never washed out.
      I gave this board 1 star for every month it lasted. 2 months. The topsheet separated and pulled the core apart and cracked the whole deck. I weigh 155 pounds so this board should have lasted at least 1 season.

        Comments about Burton Custom X Snowboard 2008:

        I have upgraded from a 2005 standard custom which is a great board that I was content with. I parted with the board because of a core crack after many joyful 5 seasons of usage. Now I upgraded to a 2008 164 custom X which I dreamed of having a custom X for the last 5 years. [...] Now that I have it it failed to WOW me. I felt it practically rode the same as my 2005 standard custom 162. If I were to do it again I would look else where. Only riding time will improve your riding not a fancy top of the line board like the Custom X. My riding is still the same. Same maxed out speed on the grooms, same airs, nothing improved from having a higher end board. I noticed on the powder it takes some effort to keep that nose up.Custom X is a great fun board however do not expect wonders from it. Given an appropriate offer for my board I would part with it and look into other brands like Rome, lib-tech, ride, etc.The board is awesome but I subtracted stars for its price to performance value. This is an expensive board that does not meet its expectations.
