This all-mountain board feels at home on well-groomed slopes, but is just as reliable in the fun park or in deep powder snow. It is a true twin, making riding switch feel as natural as in your regular Stance. Thanks to the unique Triple Camber Recurve profile, the Proto Type 3 offers powerful pop and direct response, while maintaining stability and control, even at high speeds.

The core of this snowboard consists of a lightweight wood construction that finds the perfect balance between strength and flexibility. The combination of different fiberglass layers provides extra stiffness where needed, yet remains forgiving in turns. Subtle carbon reinforcements throughout the board ensure more precision, torsional stiffness, and energy, without compromising the smooth character. The specially designed sidecut delivers reliable grip, even on hard and icy surfaces, making carving and quick edge transitions feel effortless. Under your feet, a dampened construction provides a stable feel and reduces vibrations, making long descents more comfortable.
On the underside, there is a high-quality sintered base known for its speed and durability. This means that you not only glide smoothly over fresh snow but also experience less wear and tear. Reinforcements in the nose and tail protect against impact and make the board more durable, while the metal edges all around provide extra security during intensive use.
The Proto Type 3 is available in multiple lengths and widths, ensuring there is always a model that fits your riding style and body type. With high scores in all-mountain and freestyle use, and strong performance in both powder and park, this snowboard is a versatile choice. For the snowboarder who wants one board that excels every day and in any snow condition, the Never Summer Proto Type 3 is the perfect partner.

The flat part in the rocker section 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.
The Triple Camber Hybrid from Never Summer adds a third camber zone to the center of the board, making the entire edge more efficiently used for exceptional grip, stability, and explosive pop. At the same time, the board maintains a playful, forgiving character with effortless float and ultimate maneuverability.
