Burton Process Flying V

Then there's a 360-wrap standard steel edge, frostbite-style edges that help to grip on really firm snow. It's actually two protrusions right where th...

Overall, this board would definitely be solid for someone that's an all-mountain rider that's progressing, that solid intermediate that wants to go to...

Flying V is an odd ride, it’s more difficult to control because there’s less contact to snow. I suggest test riding both before buying

I also have Burton Process Flying-V 159 (hybrid rocker), but I don't really like how it handles in hard snow. I am more used to ride aggressive cambers that have good edge hold. As boots I have Deeluxe ID double BOA's. From splits I have been looking into Weston Backwoods Carbon 160 and Jones Solution 161 (I think 158 is too short for me in pow).

Flying V is crap. And even if it wasn't, unless you want a board for lazy buttering, or something powder specific, always go with camber over rocker. And you should get the 158 or 158W, depending on your boot size.

Now I'm thinking that maybe I should've gotten the Burton Process Flying V 162W instead, it'd be better on the foot size I'm sure. According to their website the Blossom is somewhere between happy medium and stiff and aggressive in stiffness, meanwhile, the Flying V is soft and playful. Those two factors seem to point toward the Flying V instead of the Blossom. Now here comes the last bit of detail.

Oooooooh how I want that board. I’m shredding on the 2020 Burton Process right now but I wanted to try a more directional and aggressive board

Flying V is garbage. So is the Skate Banana. The Protosynthesis is more a freestyle board than an all-mtn one, tbh, and NS is hit or miss, in my experience: some people swear by their hybrid profiles, others hate them.

Ive been riding a burton Flying V wide which has been good for basically everything, and I love the board. I only wish we didn’t have to reserve spots. I could only get 2 days this week.

I ride the Flying V more because it’s a little floatier in powder and a little more forgiving for my old body. The Camber is slightly more aggressive and can hold an edge better on ice it will be less forgiving.
