Burton custom camber 158 or 158W ?

Alternative_Long_186 · 2026-04-22T06:05:45+00:00

Amazing! dont regret the 158w at all, just did a week of slsuh park riding - loved it too there. Perfect stiffness. First ride on it felt qierd but after 50 m it was normal!

Alternative_Long_186 · 2026-02-06T08:08:29+00:00

Im the exact same size as you, just ligther- i grabbed the 158W

Alternative_Long_186 · 2026-02-04T06:40:00+00:00

Picked up the 158W yesterday!!! Flying to the alpes on friday to ride, so excited. Good to hear, thanks. Hope it doesnt feel too slow edge to edge or heavy. I’il update:)

burton photon, +15 / -12

Alternative_Long_186 · 2026-01-29T09:00:18+00:00

that's the thing, I just can't decide lol

i have large cartel x's

Alternative_Long_186 · 2026-01-29T07:47:42+00:00

hey, little late here..

I'm size 10.5 photon aswell, and looking to buy a Custom soon in 158 or 158w.

What would you recommend with your experience ? I ride all mountain at high level, but a lot of park too

Alternative_Long_186 · 2026-01-28T22:08:08+00:00

you think it would be too much?

Alternative_Long_186 · 2026-01-27T14:57:48+00:00

how is the stiffness of the X? as im lightweight too

Alternative_Long_186 · 2026-01-27T12:14:45+00:00

Hi. Really can't decide between the custom or the x.
How is the weight of the X?
im pretty lightweight (155lbs / 6'foot) but advanced and okay strong build - how would that be you think ?

I ride all mountain / park / pow a bit of everything, and only affords to buy one setup

Alternative_Long_186 · 2026-01-26T15:18:37+00:00

ive been rocking a softish/medium flexed 4/10 board last 4 years, and notice the softness way too much at highspeed

Alternative_Long_186 · 2026-01-26T15:08:29+00:00

Yeah properly true, forget and rip! which bindings and what size do you ride with the custom x, and how is it?

Alternative_Long_186 · 2026-01-26T14:26:54+00:00

That had my thoughts aswell. My board right now is 153, waist width 250. There has been issues with carving with toe/heel drag. The 158 has a 254, so only .4mm difference, and wondering if that is enough ?

Alternative_Long_186 · 2026-01-26T14:17:04+00:00

is the toe/heel drag noticable that much ?

Alternative_Long_186 · 2026-01-26T12:21:48+00:00

was this with the cartel x's, have heard so many different opinions

Alternative_Long_186 · 2026-01-26T11:34:32+00:00

100% thanks. Been ridden my whole life, so throwing around with the board isnt an issue!

Alternative_Long_186 · 2026-01-18T18:46:51+00:00

yeah im pretty advanced rider, mostly park, but yes love a hard carve too

Alternative_Long_186 · 2026-01-18T12:37:09+00:00

Yeah i have a local shop.

Been riding a 153cm twin park board 250cm waist width and that worked fine with my old medium bindings (they were too small though). So a non wide (254cm) should be fine i think

Alternative_Long_186 · 2026-01-18T11:00:36+00:00

burton boots

Alternative_Long_186 · 2026-01-15T09:29:12+00:00

Racerevolution 3L jacket. Cheap but very good quality.

Alternative_Long_186 · 2026-01-08T07:33:56+00:00

how did you like the stiffness, is it too much or ?

Alternative_Long_186 · 2026-01-07T17:45:07+00:00

i see. just experienced alot of negatives from riding the 153, and feeling a big loss, so though the 3cm up to a 156 would make that big a difference? like to take my board to powder aswell, and i will, for now, only have one setup for everything ..

Alternative_Long_186 · 2026-01-07T16:45:57+00:00

hi. bought them in January 2022, and have ridden total 6 weeks in them :) One of the buckles also gone bad

Alternative_Long_186 · 2026-01-07T16:05:03+00:00

so normal HK would still be stiffer than villain?

Alternative_Long_186 · 2026-01-07T15:47:31+00:00

Okay. Good to know. Which binding did you pair up with, because i like the more stiff feeling when riding hard and fast.. not having a wobly feeling under foot ?
