Shape:
Vario Power Grip Sidecut: Vario power grip sidecut with Rocker Camber is the science of snowboarding perfected! Vario power grip sidecut utilizes multiple radiuses creating extra contact points to enhance edge hold.
Low Profile Tip/Tail: A low profile in the nose and tail of the snowboard maximizes material contact with the snow for more powerful ollie/nollie pop and stability to your landings. Low Profile Tip/Tail also reduces the plowing effect in the nose for better glide to the next feature and superior float when it's deep.
Core:
NS SuperLight Wood Core: Using a sustainable genetically modified Poplar wood fused with a durable Birch hardwood, NS has created the lightest weight yet durable core on the market. The NS SuperLight Wood Core is CNC sanded in their custom wood working facility to a fraction of a millimeter. A tailored flex is perfected, giving their snowboards unequaled performance.
Laminates:
Carbon VXR Laminate Technology: Carbon VXR extends carbon fiber V's out from the inserts to the effective edge for quick response while stiffening the board torsionally. Additionally, V's are positioned to the ends of the board providing maximum boost and pop when loaded up. This is an ideal layup to transfer energy to the end of the effective edge, tip/tail and still give the board a softer more forgiving mid-flex for torsional control.
RDS 2 Damping System: This lightweight system uses three narrower laminated damping layers that provide the perfect combination of vibration, absorption and stability. RDS 2 is the perfect balance of freeride stability and freestyle liveliness.
STS Pre-tensioned Fiberglass: The world's best snowboard fiberglass, period. STS Pre-tensioned Fiberglass is an advanced pre-hardened, pre-tensioned, layered laminate that has added elastomer stringers between the 0 degree and 90 degree glass fibers. This produces a stronger bond between the individual glass laminates for unmatched strength, edge hold and performance.
Bi-Lite Fiberglass: Bi-Lite Fiberglass combines many of the strength characteristics of their STS fiberglass with an ultra light glass fiber matrix. This delivers incredible freestyle and freeride performance without sacrificing durability.
Elastomeric Underfoot Stabilizers: Elastomeric underfoot stabilizers directly below the mounting area provide optimum vibration absorption and increase high-speed stability while reducing foot fatigue.
Sidewalls:
Sintered P-tex Sidewall: NS 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.
P-Tex Tip and Tail Protection: Boards with P-tex tip/tail protection have UHMW plastic, or P-tex, which is a softer molecular material, that not only seals and protects the wood core, but also absorbs vibration and impact.
Base:
Durasurf Sintered 4501 Base: Crown Plastics has been the industry leader in sintered materials for over 36 years and has created the Durasurf 4501 sintered base exclusively for Never Summer. This new high-density base is extremely fast and will provide unmatched performance and durability.
Die-Cut Base: Base color displayed may not be available. Base colors may vary.
Topsheet:
Carbonium Topsheet: The Carbonium topsheet is a very durable, scratch and chip resistant material with a high tech carbon fiber like texture. Carbonium topsheet also provides more grip than other topsheet materials, working as a built in stomp pad.
