Never Summer Proto FR Snowboard 2024

Never Summer Industries Men’s Triple Camber Proto FR (Freeride) Snowboard

Never Summer make excellent boards. The quality and craftsmanship is second to none. Always innovating and pushing the boundaries of what a snowboard can be, this Proto FR features a Triple Camber Profile to give it unparalleled edge hold even in the iciest of conditions. It’s best suited to more advanced riders as it’s pretty stiff and responsive but it does have a rocker camber feel that makes it’s easy enough to turn so it’s not super scary.

It’s naturally home in the steeps, deeps, and trees of your favourite resort. With a directional shape, a firmer flex and greater vibration damping it’s super stable at higher speeds. Perfect for the rider that loves freshly groomed slopes in the mornings, powder runs in trees and bowls and are not interested in riding in parks or doing tricks.

Featuring a bunch of high-end tech that you’d expect to find in a board at this price-point, the Proto FR has awesome edge hold, stability, power, pop, speed, float, forgiveness and smooth responsiveness. The super fast, durable, sintered base retains wax well and the rubber layered carbon stringers running from the inserts to the tip and tail of the board reduce chatter when travelling at faster speeds or on harder snow conditions.
