Description
The Never Summer Proto Type 3 Snowboard is the highly anticipated evolution of Never Summer’s renowned “do-it-all” freestyle board, designed to be the ultimate quiver killer for riders in Millcreek who demand versatility, pop, and precision across every inch of the mountain – from the park to powder stashes to firm groomers. Developed with U.S. Snowboard Team Rider Chase Blackwell, this board is built to “go anywhere, kill everything.”
Key Features for Unrivaled Performance in Utah’s Diverse Terrain:
The Proto Type 3 introduces Never Summer’s cutting-edge Triple Camber Recurve Profile with R.I.P. Edge-Hold Technology. This innovative design takes their patented Triple Camber and “recurves” it into a powerful, overall cambered shape. The result is:
- Explosive Pop & Energy: The multiple camber zones load up intensely, delivering massive pop for ollies, jumps, and aggressive freestyle maneuvers.
- Unrivaled Edge Hold: The R.I.P. (Rocker-Integrated-Pressure) Edge-Hold Technology creates multiple high-pressure contact points along the edge, providing exceptional grip and control on hardpack, ice, and variable snow, crucial for Utah’s changing conditions. This edge tech is integrated into the board’s profile, offering superior hold without the “grabby” feel of serrated edges.
- Enhanced Stability & Control: The overall cambered profile provides immense stability at high speeds and through choppy conditions, while the Triple Camber Recurve maintains a powerful, energetic all-mountain feel.
- Balanced Float & Maneuverability: While camber-dominant, features like Twin Early-Rise and Float Mechanics and the ability to run a Blower Stance ensure surprising float in powder, allowing this true twin to venture confidently into softer snow.
The Proto Type 3 is a True Twin Shape, making it perfectly balanced for riding equally well switch or regular. This is ideal for park and freestyle riders who want consistent performance in both directions. It typically has a mid-stiff flex (around 6 out of 10), providing a blend of responsiveness for precise carving and stability, while still being forgiving enough for playful riding and buttering.
