PROFILE

  • Recurve Traditional Camber
     "Take what is traditional and revolutionize it"—that’s the philosophy behind the engineering of the Recurve Traditional Camber, the latest innovation in snowboard technology. By integrating a Triple Camber into a traditional camber profile, Recurve creates a powerful and dynamic snowboard that excels in all conditions. It combines the lively, responsive feel of traditional camber with enhanced ease of ride and superior edge hold, thanks to the Triple Camber’s R.I.P. Edge Hold Technology. This unique profile offers exceptional performance across the entire mountain, on any type of snow. Try the Recurve Traditional Camber and experience a truly game-changing ride.

 

  • R.I.P. Edge-Hold
    By lifting the base in strategic locations, R.I.P. edge-hold minimizes friction between the board and the snow. This reduces drag and allows the board to glide smoothly. The additional camber zones in the profiles with R.I.P. creates high-pressure contact points along the edges, allowing the board to bite into icy surfaces with precision. This improved edge grip provides superior grip and stability even in the most difficult and firm conditions.

 

  • Transition Area
    A small, flat section in the snowboard profile that improves both turn initiation and powder floatation.

  • Vario Power Grip Sidecut
    Vario 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. The chairman power grip sidecut has two more radiuses for additional edge hold.

CORE

  • NS Superlight Wood Core
    Using a custom blend of wood species that was created to be the lightest weight yet durable core on the market. Never Summer’s ns superlight wood core is cnc sanded in Never Summer’s custom wood working facility to a fraction of a millimeter. A tailored flex is perfected, giving Never Summer’s snowboards unequaled performance.

REINFORCEMENTS

  • Recluse Web Carbon Layup
    Strategically positioned to stiffen the board at the ends for edge hold pressure, spring, and stability. The recluse web carbon layup 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.

  • 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.

  • Elastomeric Underfoot Stabilizers
    Elastomeric underfoot stabilizers directly below the mounting area provide optimum vibration absorption and increase high-speed stability while reducing foot fatigue.

  • Bi-Lite Fiberglass
    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.

TOPSHEET

  • Premium Co-extruded Polymer Topsheets
    The premium topsheets are very durable, lightweight, scratch and chip resistant fiber made of co-extruded polymer thermoplastic.

BASE

  • Durasurf XT Sintered 5501 Base
    Crown Plastics has developed an exclusive, super fast, durable sintered base specifically for Never Summer's higher end boards. Just the right amount of graphite has been added making the Durasurf XT Sintered 5501 Base the fastest they used.

  • Base color
    Never summer works with Flip-flop bases. This means that the same pattern is cut in 2 colours and the punch is changed. Therefore, we cannot guarantee which base colour you will receive.

 

SIDEWALL & EDGES

  • Sintered P-tex Inner and Outer Sidewall
    Never Summer was the first snowboard company to use and perfect sintered p-tex sidewalls, and we'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.
