2027 Never Summer Proto Type 3 Men's Snowboard

Features

• Triple Camber Recurve
  •  "Take what is traditional and revolutionize it" is how they engineered Triple Camber Recurve - the newest innovation. Triple Camber arched into a powerful traditional camber creates an absolute beast of a snowboard profile. Recurve brings you the ultimate, energetic all mountain feel of traditional camber while giving you an easier ride and more powerful edge hold, made possible by Triple Camber's R.I.P. Edge Hold Technology. This profile dominates all over the mountain and on all different variations of snow. Give Triple Camber Recurve a try and see how Never Summer changed the game once again.
• Power Grip Sidecut
  
  • Power Grip Sidecut utilizes multiple radiuses creating extra contact points to enhance edge hold. A flat section in the rocker area provides a broad contact point when flexed, however when unbent allows the board to track straight and not catch. Flanking this straight section are two shallow radiuses which provide the second and third contact points. Towards the ends of the sidecut are deep radiuses which render quick turn initiation and the final contact points.
• NS Superlight Wood Core
  • Never Summer uses a custom blend of wood species that was created to be the lightest weight yet durable core on the market. The NS Superlight Wood Core is CNC sanded in the custom wood working facility to a fraction of a millimeter. A tailored flex is perfected, giving their snowboards unequaled performance.
• Low Profile Tip/Tail
  
  • A lower profile in the nose and tail of the snowboard maximizes material contact with the snow for more powerful ollie/nollie pop and adds stability to your landings. Low Profile Tip/Tail also reduces the plowing effect in the nose for better glide to the next feature and increases the effective edge for hold and stability.
• Early Rise Nose
  
  • Early Rise Nose is a longer tip section that comes off the snow closer to the front binding area. This front end rise and float design gives a board incredible lift in powder, slush and heavier snow conditions. This also provides very smooth turn initiation compared to a traditional steeper kick transition that tends to plow or push snow when engaging a turn.
• Sintered UHMW Polyethylene Sidewalls
  • Never Summer was the first snowboard company to use and perfect Sintered P-Tex Sidewalls, and they've never seen one crack. Unlike conventional ABS sidewalls that have a tendency to crack in colder temperatures, Sintered P-Tex Sidewalls maintain their integrity at any temperature.
• Laminates
  • Precision Stitched Carbon Matrix - T3 Twin Carbon Mapping - A Cutting edge construction technique that utilizes specific carbon layups on top and below the core to provide explosive pop, and unmatched response. Tip to tail, center-line carbon strips work harmoniously with their T3 Twin Carbon Mapping Embossment to take your riding to new levels of energy on takeoffs, and grip to dive into the fastest carves.
  • STS Pretensioned Fiberglass – The world's best snowboard fiberglass, period. This advanced pre-hardened, pre-tensioned, layered laminate has added elastomer stringers between the 0 degree and 90 degree glass fibers (the length of the effective edge). This produces a stronger bond between the individual glass laminates giving NS snowboards unmatched strength, edge hold and performance.
  • Bi-Lite Fiberglass – Bi-Lite Fiberglass combines many of the strength characteristics of Never Summer's STS fiberglass with an ultralight glass fiber matrix. This delivers incredible freestyle and freeride performance without sacrificing durability.
  • RDS 2 Damping System - RDS 2 or Rubber Damping System 2 is the perfect balance of freeride stability and freestyle liveliness. A more substantial system than a freestyle board to stabilze the board at higher speeds but a little less than damping in a freeride board for leaving the snow. An ideal combination of vibration absorbtion and energetic feel.
  • Elastomeric Underfoot Stabilizers – Elastomeric Underfoot Stabilizers directly below the mounting area provide optimum vibration absorption and increase high-speed stability while reducing foot fatigue.
• Premium Coextruded Polymer Topsheet
  • The Premium Topsheet is a durable, lightweight, scratch and chip resistant fiber backed thermoplastic. The premium topsheets also provide more grip than other topsheet materials, working as a built-in stomp pad.
•  Durasurf XT Sintered 5501 Base
  Never Summer's suppliers have developed an exclusive, super fast, durable sintered base specifically for their boards. Just the right amount of graphite has been added making the DURASURF XT SINTERED 5501 BASE one of the fastest and certainly the most durable P-Tex bases on the market..
