Never Summer Cougar

An all-mountain destroyer featuring Recurve Triple Camber and the power of Carbon VXR technology, the NS Cougar is definitely not designed for middle-aged women with an appetite for younger men. This is a mid-stiff directional board that handles all terrain types and variable snow as well as any board on the wall, and is a great choice for an advanced quiver of one. As always with NS, the Never Summer Cougar Snowboard gets a host of top quality ingredients, including the Superlight Core and DuraSurf XT 5501 base so you’ll always be flying high and outrunning your peers on the flats.

Product Details

5mm Taper

Core

NS Superlight Wood Core – Never Summer’s Superlight core uses a custom blend of Poplar, Paulownia and Birch woods that was created to be the lightest weight yet durable core on the market.

Laminates

Carbon VXR Laminate Technology – Carbon VXR extends carbon fiber V’s out from the inserts to the effective edge for quick response while stiffening the board torsionally. Additionally, V’s are positioned to the ends of the board providing maximum boost and pop when loaded up. This is an ideal layup to transfer energy to the end of the effective edge, tip/tail and still give the board a softer more forgiving mid-flex for torsional control.

Elastomeric Underfoot Stabilizers

RDS 2 Damping System – This lightweight system uses three narrower laminated dampening layers that provide the perfect combination of vibration, absorption, and stability. RDS 2 is the perfect balance of freeride stability and freestyle liveliness.

Sidewalls

Sintered UHMW Polyethylene Sidewalls – Never Summer was the first snowboard company to use and perfect Sintered P-Tex Sidewalls, and they’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.

Base

Durasurf XT Sintered 5501 Base – Crown Plastics has developed an exclusive, super fast, durable sintered base specifically for higher end boards. Just the right amount of graphite has been added making the Durasurf XT Sintered 5501 Base the fastest Never Summer has ever used.

Topsheet

Coextruded Polymer Topsheet – The Premium Topsheet is a durable, lightweight, scratch and chip resistant fiber backed thermoplastic. The premium topsheets also provide more grip than other topsheet materials, working as a built-in stomp pad.
