Among the "Made in USA" snowboard brands, "NEVER SUMMER" has been manufacturing high-performance snowboards at its own factory in Denver, Colorado, USA for over 30 years.With the growth of the brand, many manufacturers have introduced mass production or outsourced production, but NEVER SUMMER is particular about handcraft and emphasizes providing quality without mistakes.Considering the user first, the product warranty is also supported for a long period of 3 years from the date of purchase.Snowboards with cutting-edge concepts and excellent riding feel continue to receive high praise around the world. The biggest feature of NEVER SUMMER is Rocker Camber (RC) technology, which has been evolving to bring out the best performance in various scenes.You can freely control the vent of the board according to the application and demonstrate the maximum performance.At first glance, you may wonder, "What kind of ride is it?" with its characteristic and complex combination of vents, but you can feel its natural and smooth glide as soon as you start sliding down the slope.This time, I picked up the models that are attracting attention in the lineup by theme and checked their performance.
TRIPLE CAMBER
High-performance freeriding model with the latest rocker camber and TRIPLE CAMBER
PROTO ULTRA
introduced the latest concept
Invincible Ultra All-Mountain
freestyle board
TRIPLE CAMBER brings out outstanding gliding performance with 3 camber sections on the outside and center of each stance and 4 edge contacts.This PROTO ULTRA is a model that challenges new possibilities by introducing the latest concept, which was installed in PROTO FR last season and showed its ability to the world, to a twin-tip freestyle board. TRIPLE CAMBER generates strong ollie power and enhances pop power.Chris Corning, a top rider who has participated in the Olympic Games in Pyeongchang and Beijing, is also a favorite, and it is the speed of reaction that leads to highly difficult tricks in the highest level of freestyle competition. It has mobility.
On the other hand, the twin tip has sufficient flotation in powder that is difficult to pull out, and the grip at high speed turns is also improved.An innovative snowboard that challenges the realm beyond the conventional common sense.It adapts to all slope changes, and is perfect for mountain freestyle, where you can find gaps and perform tricks throughout the mountain.
