Description
Salty Peaks is stoked to offer the Never Summer Proto Synthesis Snowboard, a true all-mountain freestyle machine that has consistently been a top-selling board year after year. If you’re a rider in Millcreek looking for a board that can handle everything from carving groomers at Snowbird to hitting jumps at Brighton and even venturing into some powder at Alta, the Proto Synthesis is your quiver-of-one answer.
The Proto Synthesis is a true twin with a mid-flex (6 out of 10), making it perfectly balanced for spinning, riding switch, and stomping landings. Its secret weapon lies in Never Summer’s innovative Shockwave Rocker Camber profile. This features extended camber zones underfoot towards the tip and tail, providing explosive pop, incredible edge hold on hardpack and icy conditions, and powerful boost in and out of turns. The shorter rocker section between the bindings maintains a natural float in softer snow and enhances press-ability for freestyle maneuvers.
