Never Summer snowboards
Never Summer Snowboards is an innovative brand in the snowboard industry. The company was founded in 1991 and has since built a good reputation for producing high-quality snowboards of top quality.
The history of Never Summer snowboards
The story of Never Summer Snowboards began in 1983 when Tim Canaday and Tracey Canaday founded the snowboard brand in the mountains of Colorado. The two snowboard enthusiasts started making snowboards as a hobby and never thought it would grow into a successful snowboard brand. Never Summer snowboards started small and initially produced only a few snowboards per week. Soon, the demand for these amazing boards grew, and they expanded their production. In 1991, Never Summer snowboards patented their own technology. They named the technology "Rocker Camber". This technology provided Never Summer snowboards with unprecedented stability and control. This makes the snowboards suitable for all levels, from beginners to professional snowboarders.
In the following years, Never Summer kept developing their snowboards by using new techniques and materials. In 1994, the brand was the first to introduce snowboards with steel edges, which provided more control. In 2001, they introduced a completely new core known as "Carbon VXR Laminate". This gave Never Summer snowboards unprecedented stiffness and responsiveness.

Never Summer snowboards with Rocker and Camber
In the early years of snowboarding, almost all snowboards had a rocker profile. At that time, snowboarding was essentially limited to backhill and backcountry powder riding. Snowboarders were not welcome on the slopes back then. When ski resorts began to allow snowboarders, snowboard manufacturers switched from a rocker profile to the profile that skis were built with. Camber allows you to exert more pressure on the snow, giving you more control on harder surfaces. In the 2000s, many brands came back on the market with Rocker snowboards after many riders missed the playful and surfy feel. Around this time, the founders of Never Summer snowboards examined the advantages and disadvantages of each profile and decided to combine both profiles. In 2009, Never Summer patented Rocker and Camber of CRC (camber Rocker Camber), and in 2010, the first Never Summer boards with this technology hit the market. The fusion of both profiles brings the best of both worlds, providing stability and playfulness. Camber gives you stability at high speeds and grip in turns. Rocker, on the other hand, allows you to float in the powder and jib easily in the park.
What makes the Triple Camber profile of Never Summer boards revolutionary?
While it's nothing new and several brands combine rocker and camber in one snowboard, Never Summer snowboards have changed the way these different profiles are combined. This has resulted in Never Summer creating the most versatile all-mountain snowboard ever.
Center Camber Zone
While most brands use a camber/rocker combination with two camber zones directly underfoot, Never Summer snowboards have added a third camber in the center. With this design, your primary edge grip begins from the middle of the board, allowing you maximum pop as you shift weight to your feet. This central camber zone also reduces the pivot of the rocker, making a triple camber snowboard straight and predictable rather than nervous.
Camber zones underfoot
The camber zones under the feet of Never Summer snowboards give you insane stability at high speeds. When you put your weight on your toe edge or heel edge, the camber naturally guides you into the turn. Once you get the board on its edge, it stays on its edge, giving you a confident feeling.
Two small rocker zones
Two small rocker zones between the camber zones give you that little push you need to stay on top of the snow. These extra rocker zones also make the Never Summer boards more playful than other models with a similar stiffness and damping.
