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.

RECLUSE CARBON WEB TECHNOLOGY

  • Carbon Fiber is bound in 20 degree angles to add torsional stability to the board, along with longitudinal rebound, enhancing edge hold pressure.
  • The RECLUSE CARBON WEB TECHNOLOGY holds the integrity of the board's flex pattern over a longer period of time and creates powerful snap in and out of the turn.

Base

Durasurf XT Sintered 5501 Base

  • Never Summer's suppliers have developed an exclusive, super fast, durable sintered base specifically for our 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

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 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.

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.
