Following in the footsteps of the revolutionary Proto Type 2, the NEW Proto Type 3 is poised to make waves. U.S. Snowboard Team Rider Chase Blackwell spent two years researching and developing this board to be THE ride everywhere, slay everything snowboarding innovation. A completely balanced board that’s true twin with an identical rating for flex and damp of 6 out of 10. Key features include the new Precision Stitched Carbon Matrix, the future of snowboard performance, highlighted by T3 Twin Carbon Mapping. Never Summer Triple Camber Recurve Profile with R.I.P. Edge-hold Technology provides unmatched pop and stability and the added Blower Stance makes this board ready for everything.
"Take what is traditional and revolutionize it" is how Never Summer engineered Triple Camber Recurve - their newest innovation. Triple Camber arched into a powerful traditional camber creates an absolute beast of a snowboard profile. Recurve brings you the ultimate, energetic all mountain feel of traditional camber while giving you an easier ride and more powerful edge hold, made possible by Triple Camber's R.I.P. Edge Hold Technology. This profile dominates all over the mountain and on all different variations of snow. Give Triple Camber Recurve a try and see how we changed the game once again.
Never Summer 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. Co-Extruded premium topsheets (Nylon and Polyester) include Hex-Tech, Carbonium, Matte and TruGrit Topsheets.
The world's best snowboard fiberglass, period. 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 Never Summer 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 combines many of the strength characteristics of Never Summer's STS fiberglass with an ultra light glass fiber matrix. This delivers incredible freestyle and freeride performance without sacrificing durability.
Using a custom blend of wood species that was designed to be a lightweight yet durable core. Never Summer's SUPERLIGHT WOOD CORE is CNC sanded in their custom woodworking facility to a fraction of a millimeter. A tailored flex is perfected, giving Never Summer snowboards unequaled performance.
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.
Never Summer was the first snowboard company to use and perfect UHMW POLYETHYLENE SIDEWALL (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene), and they have 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.
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.
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.
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.
EARLY RISE NOSE is a longer tip section that comes off the snow closer to the front binding area. This front end rise and float design gives a board incredible lift in powder, slush and heavier snow conditions. This also provides very smooth turn initiation compared to a traditional steeper kick transition that tends to plow or push snow when engaging a turn.
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.
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.
