Never Summer V-Twin

A brand new shape for Never Summer, the Never Summer V-Twin Snowboard (that’s right, there’s a “V” at both tip and tail) is a mid-flexing twin that delivers the goods going either direction. Featuring Never Summer’s Power Surf Wood Core of Poplar and Paulownia with Beech stringers under the binding inserts and Triple Camber to provide precise edgehold without the hook.

Product Details

Rocker Type

Triple Camber – Every function of a snowboard is now improved with Never Summer’s new patented Triple Camber Profile… edge hold, stability, power, pop, speed, float, forgiveness and smooth responsiveness. Words and images are never going to do it justice!

Flex

Flex Rating – 6 (1 Soft – 10 Stiff)

Dampness Rating – 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

Mini-V Cutouts at Nose and Tail

Core

Powersurf Wood Core – Poplar and Paulownia laminated with Birch stringers in the binding mount areas

Laminates

Bi-Lite Fiberglass – Bi-Lite Fiberglass combines many of the strength characteristics of Never Summer’s STS fiberglass with an ultralight glass fiber matrix. This delivers incredible freestyle and freeride performance without sacrificing durability.

STS Pretensioned Fiberglass – The world’s best snowboard fiberglass, period. This advanced pre-hardened, pre-tensioned, layered laminate 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 snowboards unmatched strength, edge hold and performance.

Full Recluse Web Carbon Layup – A full length Carbon Web laminate rather than the tip and tail version found in the freestyle boards . The Recluse Web Carbon Layup holds the integrity of the board’s flex pattern over a long period and creates a powerful snap in and out of the turn.

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.

Edges

Metal Edge with Aluminum Nose and Tail

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.
