Never Summer Proto T3 Eclipse

Introducing the all-new Never Summer Proto T3 Eclipse Snowboard—an all-mountain genius that’s here to block out the competition. With Recurve Traditional Camber and R.I.P. Tech, this board shines across every terrain, delivering powe and unmatched edge hold even when conditions get dark. Whether you’re laying down carves or catching air on natural features, the Eclipse is total riding illumination. Step into the shadow—this board’s gravity is impossible to ignore.

Product Details

Rocker Type

Recurve Traditional Camber

Flex

Flex – 6 (1 Soft – 10 Stiff)

Dampness – 5 (1 Lively – 10 Damp)

Shape

Vario Power Grip Sidecut – Vario Power Grip Sidecut utilizes multiple radii creating extra contact points to enhance edge hold. A flat section in the rocker area provides a broad contact point when flexed, but allows the board to track straight and not catch when unbent. Flanking this straight section are two shallow radii, which provide the second and third contact points. Towards the ends of the sidecut are deep radii which render quick turn initiation and the final contact points

All Mountain Directional

10 mm Taper

Core

PowerSurf Core – A high percentage of lightweight Paulownia is combined with Poplar and Birch running down the middle of the core and Poplar along the sidecut edge. Adding strength and the optimum amount of torsional rigidity. THE POWERSURF WOOD CORE strategically combines these woods in crucial areas of the core for a durable yet lightweight feel.

Laminates

Precision Stitched Carbon Matrix – This method involves precisely stitching carbon fiber into specific zones, particularly around the nose, tail, and between the bindings, to align with the board’s intended flex and response characteristics. The result is improved energy transfer, increased torsional rigidity, and enhanced control, providing riders with a more responsive and stable ride across various terrains and conditions.

T3 Directional Carbon Mapping Embossment – An advanced snowboard construction technology designed to enhance performance by strategically integrating carbon fiber into the board’s structure. This technique involves embedding carbon fiber patterns into specific zones of the snowboard, particularly focusing on the nose, tail, and areas between the bindings. The carbon is precisely woven and stitched into the core, creating a directional pattern that aligns with the board’s intended flex and response characteristics. This design aims to deliver energy exactly where the snowboarder needs it, dramatically improving maneuverability and control.

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.

Edges

R.I.P Edge-Hold Technology – Never Summer’s R.I.P. (Rocker Integrated Performance) Edge Hold Technology enhances grip and stability across various conditions. This configuration allows for smooth turn initiation, a playful and forgiving feel, and explosive pop, making it suitable for riders who want a board that excels in diverse terrains and riding styles

Additional Features

Early Rise Float Mechanics – Never Summer’s Early Rise Float Mechanics is a snowboard design feature that enhances floatation and maneuverability in deep snow conditions. This technology incorporates an “Early Rise Nose,” where the front contact points of the snowboard are moved closer to the rider. This adjustment eases turn initiation and improves the board’s ability to stay afloat in powder
