Back where it all started - today I brought the Pegasus (custom59) back to @brightonresort where she belongs 🫶 -Back in 1994 @jgshredeye sent me the first proto custom with a base graphic in October and I moved to Utah and immersed myself in the backcountry behind Brighton to learn how to ride that awesome terrain - Mike Hatchett was kind enough to come and walk around with me and film for standard Films TB4 , What an amazing time
- thank you @burtonsnowboards for such an incredible board that has been under a lot of happy people’s feet over the 30years.
Snuck down to Oz with the family @shannon_dunn__downing@logan_downing@dillondowning_ for Christmas / Newyears. Absolute blast watching my boys froth on Right hand point breaks and meat Pies. Weather was amazing and feeling very thankful :-). Also got hook up with my good friend Ado @adowise ripping surfer and Artist who did the Custom he’s holding in the first pic, I forgot the year of that board, but i love that graphic he did with Airbrush 🫶 Happy 2026 everyone

This was one truly talented little man - jeff anderson had a full heart of passion and love for snowboarding - he bled style in everything he did when strapped in. For such a little guy he had so much power and proper technique❤️ - the days I got to spend with him are cherished in my heart #JLA
From prototype to icon.
What started as a last-minute prototype, sparked by rider’s vision, grew into a board that redefined snowboarding. Thirty years later, the Burton Custom remains our best-seller and a symbol of progression. Former Burton pro @davedowning shares how it all began and why the Custom still leads the way.
