Never Summer Proto CT Snowboard 2012: Never Summer has put tons of R&D into bringing you with the ultimate all-mountain true twin. The Never Summer Proto CT Snowboard combines powerful flex and responsive dampening to create a versatile board that can handle every one of your freestyle and all-mountain desires. Incorporating some of Never Summer’s most advanced technology, such as the Bi-Directional Rocker Camber design and a SuperLight wood core; the Proto CT Snowboard is the true cutting edge of the snowboard market.
Flex
Flex rating: 5 (1 softest-10 stiffest) - this medium flex allows for distinct versatility in the board and riding style; soft enough for the park and responsive enough for the rest of the mountain
Construction and Core
NS Superlight wood core is a blend of extremely lightwood and durable hardwood for unmatched strength to weight ratio
Carbonium Laminate Technology combines advanced top and base carbon more maximum torsional response and strength where it’s needed most
STS Pretensioned Fiberglass is pre-hardened, pre-tensioned, layered laminate that has added elastomer stringers between the 0-90degree glass fibers the length of the effective edge. This produces a stronger bond, and thus a stronger board is better edge hold and performance.
Bi-Lite fiberglass has a ultra-light glass fiber matrix that delivers incredible freestyle and freeride performance without sacrificing durability.
Shape
Never Summer’s Bi-Directional Rocker Camber Profile offers the fun that you want from rocker and the stability that you need from camber. This one-of-a-kind shape offers you superior power and snap out of turns as well as stability in parks, pow or groomers.
Vario Power Grip sidecut adds increased edge hold precisely where it’s needed most giving you added control and response in any condition
True twin
Sidewalls, Edges and Base
Sintered P-Tex Sidewall maintain their integrity at any temperature and are far more durable than ABS sidewalls
Full wrap metal edge gives you smooth carving
Durasurf XT Sintered 5501 Base is a durable sintered base that is constructed using just the right amount of graphite making it the fastest base ever used by NS

    I'm a intermediate rider who mainly rides groomers and powder and loves throwing a board around.
    Its such a playful board, very poppy and handles everything i could throw at it. Also found this board to be very good at speed, got 60mph out of it a few times and the board felt well balanced and smooth.
    Ive ridden it for 15 days now on powder, hard packed snow and ice and Ive got to say i've been impressed by the way its performed (Great edge hold on ice).

    This board made a bad first impression on me and never really came back from it. I found it to be too stiff and rockered for me.

          First time I used this board, took it through the trees in fresh 12" powder, the rocker design saved me many many times.
          Amazing control and stability.
          Within 5 minutes of being on the mountain, received 2 comments "sick NeverSummer" and "awesome board man"..... These were from people that worked on the mountain and know good equipment when they see it.

            Comments about Never Summer Proto CT Snowboard 2012:

            Finally switched from traditional camber. I ride it 30% park, 30% trees/powder, 40% groomers/jumps. Have rode it on packed groomers, powder, ice, slush, rails, boxes, small and big natural and fake jumps. No problems riding flat or carving. Much less effort required to ride powder. Lots of flex and lightweight-much easier to press and swing. Only weak area is dampening the ride through rough, choppy snow (but I knew that when I bought it-I wanted the softer flex feel for tricks). Great in the park, but can still carve beautifully and go fast. Overall, great all-mountain board! And, made in the USA. (Took a factory tour-those NS guys are very cool).

            The board was a bit wishy washy at first. I corrected this by moving out my stance from 22.5" to about 24" from center to center.

              Comments about Never Summer Proto CT Snowboard 2012:

              This is definitely one of the best boards I have ridden. I teach snowboarding full time and of course I ride a lot. For a board to allow me pretty high speeds while being as flexible as it is has been pretty impressive. I'm lucky enough to have an upper level weekend group in which some of the students have been with me for three years and I have to say that all I do is ride all mountain. Though I'm not a park rat the board has been great in the half-pipe and airing jumps along with carving, steeps, and glades. In a four hour lesson I sometimes find myself riding almost everything in day and I always rode a board slightly too stiff and long for glades and park and its been amazing to have something more responsive and flexible for true all mountain riding!

                Unrivaled board! You can ride this board a little shorter because it is fast, playful, and responsive. I ride this board with Burton Cartel bindings and the combination is great. I can easily turn on a dime and feel the terrain, yet the dampening technology takes care of any choppy snow/ice. The board is also incredibly lightweight - you can feel the difference with ollies and on the ski lift.

Its good under high speeds, carvs just as good as any other board, and has an amazing amount of pop. If you're down for ridin' park all day, or are just shreddin' trails with your homies, this is the board for you. Enough Said!!!

                  I'm from SoCal so we get mostly ice, slush, and man made awesomeness snow. So far this board could shred through anything! At first I was skeptical about riding it on ice, but it blew my mind how well this board could handle ice at high speed. It'll launch you without you knowing it because it's so d@mn light.
