2025 Men's Never Summer Proto Slinger Snowboard - QSLR

Product Features

The go-to snowboard of Sam Anderson, one of the most technical freestyle snowboarders on the planet, the soft-flex, twin tip Proto Slinger features our Shockwave Rocker Camber Profile for massive pop and asymmetrical sidecut for balance edge to edge.

Press Flex core allows for locks into presses and on rails.

Not only is this the end-all be-all of freestyle snowboards, it also excels where a freestyle snowboard isn’t supposed to — everywhere else on the hill.

Terrain

  • All Mountain and Freestyle

Rider's ability

Rocker Type

Shock Wave Rocker Camber

  • Shock Wave Rocker Camber gives you the shock of explosive power and the fluid feel of riding a wave.
  • SWRC features longer camber areas for huge pop and vice like stability with a smaller rocker area that retains quick turn initiation and floatation.
  • The hallmarks of our patented Rocker Camber Profile.

Flex Rating

4 out of 10 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)

Shape

  • Perfectly symmetrical for a balanced ride so you can spin and stomp with outstanding stability whether you're riding regular or switch.

Taper

0mm

Core

NS SUPERLIGHT WOOD CORE

  • Using a custom blend of wood species that was designed to be a lightweight yet durable core.
  • NS SUPERLIGHT WOOD CORE is CNC sanded in their custom woodworking facility to a fraction of a millimeter.
  • A tailored flex is perfected, giving our snowboards unequaled performance.

Topsheet

Coextruded Polymer  

  • This Premium Topsheet is a durable, lightweight, scratch and chip resistant fiber backed thermoplastic.
  • This premium topsheets also provide more grip than other topsheet materials, working as a built-in stomp pad.

Laminates

STS Pretensioned Fiberglass

  • The world's best snowboard fiberglass, period.
  • Never Summer's STS PRETENSIONED FIBERGLASS is 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.

Bi-Lite Fiberglass

  • 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.

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 in that area.
  • Originating from the binding mounting zones, Carbon V's engage the edge for quick repsonse.
  • 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.

Base

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..

Edges

Full Wrap Metal Edge

Sidewalls

UHMW POLYETHYLENE SIDEWALL

  • Never Summer was the first snowboard company to use and perfect UHMW POLYETHYLENE SIDEWALL (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene), and they never seen one crack.
  • 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.

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

Additional Features

FREESTYLE DAMPING SYSTEM

  • This lightweight system is specifically designed for Freestyle performance.
  • FDS or Freestyle Damping System, uses narrower elastomeric rubber foil to reduce weight and provide a snappier feel.
  • Perfect for giving the board a crisp underfoot feel.
  • Freestyle boards are meant to leave the snow or catch air and not weighed down by an overly damp board.
  • FDS furnishes a lively feel while maintaining Never Summer's legendary ride.

ELASTOMERIC UNDERFOOT STABILIZERS

  • ELASTOMERIC UNDERFOOT 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.

HARMONIC TIP/TAIL DAMPER/PROTECTION

  • HARMONIC DAMPERS in the tip and tail take out a high percentage of residual vibration by quieting the nose and tail.
  • This enhances stability at speed, in variable snow conditions and on board landings without deadening the liveliness and pop of the cambered areas.

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

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.

Factory Tuned

  • Board comes waxed and ready for the mountain right from the factory.

"Does it work in powder?" POWDER – Yes! Step On works great in powder. Just brush the snow out of your footbed before you step on (like you would with any binding).

"How do I get out?" STEPPING OUT – Getting out is even easier than getting in. Just pull the lever on the heel of the binding and twist your foot. Boom, you're out.

"How do I get in?" STEPPING ON – It really is as easy as, "heel, toe, go". Step into the binding heel-first to engage the heel clip, then press down your toes until you hear the clicks.
