The technology we use in our skateboards and longboards

P-Tex UHMW Tip and Tail Protectors

We pioneered the use of P-tex in the sidewalls of our snowboards for durability and ease of repair. Adding the same proven P-tex tip and tail bumpers provides a level of protection and durability not found in any other longboard on the market.

STS / SK8

We use exclusive STS / SK8 fiberglass in each and every on of our skateboards. This pre-hardened, pre-tensioned, layered laminate is the world's best fiberglass and only Never Summer has it. Our fiberglass maintains the flex pattern of your longboard, keeping it consistent from day one until you need to retire the deck to get one of the future designs.

Carbon Torsion Response

NS uses Carbon stringers placed in strategic locations in our decks, improving torsion response and turning.

VLAC (Vertically Laminated Aspen Core)

Utilizing our in-house wood working facility we manufacture a vertically laminated aspen core for all of our longboards. Borrowing from our proven snowboard core technology, we have adapted our Flight Core characteristics to make NS's VLAC; a strong, light and solid responsive platform for longboards.

Bi-Lite / SK8

The Bi-Lite / SK8 is a very snappy and light fiberglass that adds strength and response in our longboards.

Hard Rock Maple

Our maple veneers are hard, maple laminates engineered by Great Lakes Veneer for Never Summer to our exact specifications. Quality, thickness and moisture content are the key items here.

Full wrap P-tex sidewall impact protection

Rubber Damping

Rubber Damping is utilized in all of our longboards to absorb truck vibrations, offer a smooth ride, and reduce high speed wobbles.
