Never Summer Proto T3 Ultra Snowboard 2027

Flex: 7 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)

Dampness: 6 (1 Lively - 10 Damp)

True Twin Shape

Powergrip 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.

Extended Transition Area: A flat section of a snowboards profile, the TRANSITION AREA, that lies at the end of the camber zones just before the tip/tail rise. This area smooths out the transition between the camber area and the tip rise for fluid turn initiation and enhanced powder floatation.

Low Profile Tip/Tail

WooBoo Wood Core: Never Summer's WOOBOO WOOD CORE combines Bamboo stringers, Paulownia, Poplar and Birch. The Bamboo stringers are light, extremely strong and gives the board quick reflex and lessens vibration. Paulowina is a hardwood that can grow up to 15 feet a year! Bamboo and Paulownia are great sustainable options, Other hardwoods, Poplar and Birch are added, giving the core a great strength to weight ratio. Birch is strategically placed underneath the mounting inserts for a secure, solid connection.This combination of wood species and Bamboo supply the snowboard with a crisp and light underfoot feel with powerful performance.

STS Pre-Tensioned Fiberglass: An advanced pre-hardened, pre-tensioned, layered laminate that 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 our snowboards unmatched strength, edge hold and performance. Most bows use this type fiberglass due to it's unmatched ability to spring back and cast an arrow at a tremendous velocities without breaking.

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.

Bi-Lite Fiberglass: Combines many of the strength characteristics of our STS fiberglass with an ultra light glass fiber matrix. This delivers incredible freestyle and freeride performance without sacrificing durability.

Precision Stitched Carbon Matrix: A precision-engineered carbon laminate where carbon fibers are stitched and mapped into specific zones of the snowboard instead of being laid down in simple sheets. By varying the placement, orientation, and thickness of the carbon, Never Summer can tune exactly where the board is stiff, torsionally rigid, or energetic.

UHMW Sidewall: Unlike conventional ABS sidewalls, that have a tendency to crack in colder temperatures, UHMW POLYETHYLENE SIDEWALL maintain their integrity at any temperature. UHMW Polyethylene sidewalls also enhance damping characteristics above the metal edge.

P-TEX Tip/Tail Protection: Places UHMW or Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene out to the ends of the board for incredible durability. This material protects these crucial ends of the boards from impact damage and will not crack or break. It not only absorbs impact but also a high amount of residual vibration, while sealing and protecting the wood core.

Durasurf XT Sintered 5501 Base: Exclusive to Never Summer. 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.

R.I.P Edge-Hold Technology: Never Summer's R.I.P. (Rocker Integrated Performance) Edge Hold Technology enhances grip and stability across various conditions. This configuration allows for smooth turn initiation, a playful and forgiving feel, and explosive pop, making it suitable for riders who want a board that excels in diverse terrains and riding styles

Full Wrap Metal Edge

Co-Extruded Polymer Topsheet with T3 Twin Carbon Mapping: Made from Nylon & Polyester, the PREMIUM TOPSHEETS are very durable, lightweight, scratch and chip resistant fiber backed thermoplastic. These premium topsheets also provide extremely vibrant colors along with more grip than other topsheet materials, working as a built in stomp pad.

Blower Stance Binding Inserts: Blower Stance Inserts allow riders to set their bindings farther back on the board, creating a more surf-inspired stance that helps the nose rise and the tail sink in deep snow. This freeride-focused setup delivers effortless float, smoother turns, and less back-leg burn when chasing powder.

Elastomeric Underfoot Stabilizers: These stabilizers are placed directly below the mounting area, providing optimum vibration and shock absorption and increase high-speed stability. These underfoot stabilizers also add cushioning while reducing foot fatigue.
