NS Custom Flightcore
Never Summer’s exclusive CUSTOM FLIGHT CORE is the most technically advanced core system we’ve ever used. Designed and built in NS’s woodcore facility, these cores fuse premium hardwood and ultra light softwood laminates together with vertical layers of elastomeric vibration dampers. These lightweight perimeter dampers actually increase vibration absorption the faster you ride while maintaining an incredible amount of snap and liveliness, providing a level of edgehold and high speed performance that only a Never Summer snowboard can deliver.
Press Flex Core
This rocker core design is perfect for the Evo and Revolver models. This core features 2 specific softer flex points between the feet creating better hinge points for ultimate pressing and ollie performance.
NS SuperLight Wood Core
Designed specifically for our new Carbonium series, this core blends ultralight wood with durable hardwood for unmatched strength to weight ratio.
RDS 1 Damping System
This is our most extensive damping system specifically designed for the Premier F1 and Lotus. Three full perimeter layers of elastomeric rubber foil are laminated between the metal edge, fiberglass and wood core. This provides unmatched stability and a smooth riding feel especially at high speeds.
RDS 2 Damping System
This lightweight system uses three narrower laminated damping layers that provide the perfect combination of vibration absorption and stability. RDS 2 is specifically designed for the SL, Legacy and Infinity.
EDS Damping System
The EVO DAMPING SYSTEM (EDS) delivers increased edgehold and high speed stability without compromising the Evo and Revolver’s freestyle performance. |
Durasurf Sintered 4501 base
Crown Plastics has been the industry leader in sintered materials for over 35 years and has created the DURASURF 4501 sintered base exclusively for Never Summer. This new high density base is extremely fast and will provide unmatched performance and durability.
DAMPNESS & FLEX METERS
Dampness: 10 is very damp (more stable and smooth riding at high speeds), 1 is least damp (more snappy and lively underfoot) Flex: 10 is stiffer in flex (better for high speed freestyle and freeriding, better for bigger riders), 1 is softer in flex (better for presses, butters, more forgiving)
STS Pretensioned Fiberglass
The world's best snowboard fiberglass, period. Our STS ADVANCED fiberglass is a pre-hardened, pre-tensioned, layered laminate that has added elastomer stringers between the 0 degree and 90 degree glass fibers the length of the effective edge. This produces a stronger bond between the individual glass laminates giving our snowboard unmatched strength, edge hold and performance.
BI-Lite Fiberglass
BI-Lite fiberglass combines many of the strength characteristics of STS ADVANCED fiberglass with an ultralight glass fiber matrix. This delivers incredible freestyle and freeride performance without sacrificing durability.
Carbon V-Twin Laminate Technology
The Premier F1 and Lotus benefit most from the CARBON V-Twin laminate system which extends the carbon "V"s from the bindings to the ends of the effective edge increasing power and edge response. An additional carbon V is added to the tail to increase edge hold and power out of turns.

Carbonium Laminate Technology
More carbon equals more power and performance. The new Carbonium Laminate Technology combines an advanced top and base carbon matrix to maximize torsional response and strength where it's needed most. The result is a lightweight yet powerful design that will keep the Raptor and Heritage going strong for years.
Carbon VXR Laminate Technology
The CARBON VXR system is specifically designed for our SL, Legacy, Evo, Revolver and Infinity freestyle snowboards. The carbon "V"s are set back even further from the tip and tail to increase power and stiffness from the bindings to the edge. This system also helps soften the tip and tail just enough to help you dominate any terrain park or kicker that crosses your path. An additional smaller carbon "V" gives these boards insane pop.
Sintered P-tex Sidewall
We were the first snowboard company to use and perfect SINTERED P-TEX SIDEWALLS, and we've never seen one crack. Unlike conventional ABS sidewalls, that have a tendency to crack in colder temperatures, SINTERED P-TEX SIDEWALLS maintain their integrity at any temperature.
CDS Damping System
The CARBONIUM DAMPING SYSTEM (CDS) greatly reduces vibration and provides unmatched high speed stability and control. Thin elastomeric rubber stringers reduce vibration from the metal edge and surrounding laminates. Stringers below the inserts and under the carbon dampen any additional vibration near the bindings, giving the Raptor and Heritage a smooth riding feel underfoot without sacrificing snap and power throughout the board.
Durasurf XT Sintered 5501 base
Crown Plastics has developed an exclusive, super fast, durable sintered base specifically for the Raptor and Heritage. Just the right amount of graphite has been added making the DURASURF 5501 XT base the fastest we've ever used. |
