The Durasurf XT Sintered 5501 Base from Never Summer is an advanced sintered snowboard base, valued for its durability and speed. It provides excellent glide performance due to its smooth surface and low friction coefficient, while also effectively absorbing wax for long-lasting performance.
A poplar wood core with durable beech wood to create the lightest core from Never Summer. The core is sanded in the Never Summer workshop to work with millimeter precision. This gives the boards the perfect flex in the right place.
Bi-lite fiberglass is a lightweight fiberglass weave used in the construction of Never Summer snowboards. This material provides the right balance between strength and weight, allowing snowboarders to experience optimal control and responsiveness on various terrains and in different conditions.
Vario Power Grip Sidecut uses multiple radii to provide extra edge grip. The flat section in the rocker area becomes one large contact point when you flex it, and without pressure, the board will ride straight. The ends of the board have a shorter radius, allowing you to initiate turns more quickly.
Never Summer introduces a completely new camber profile, featuring a small rocker in the center of the board, followed by large sections of camber under the bindings. Just before the tip and tail, there is a small flat section to optimize the benefits of camber, without compromising on float and maneuverability in powder snow.
The Asymmetrical Twin has the same shape for both the tip and the tail, with centrally placed inserts for equal amounts of nose and tail experience, an identical flex in both the nose and the tail, and a deeper sidecut on the heel edge for improved edge grip.
