As an independent manufacturer with a penchant for experimentation, Never Summer are no strangers to innovation. From the Rocker/Camber revolution of the 2000s to the Triple Camber Technology found on today’s boards, this Colorado crew doesn’t rest when it comes to pushing the envelope of snowboard design.
New for this year is the Easy Rider, a mid flexing twin. Built on a symmetrical version of the Proto Type 2 shape with Proto carbon layup and flex, the Easy Rider is pressed with a Triple Camber twin profile for ultimate edge-hold, pop, and board control. This one will give you an upgraded take on the fun, easy ride you’ve always known with the Proto series.
Next up is the Valhalla, which is built with Never Summer’s innovative Fusion Triple Camber profile. Tip to tail Recluse Carbon Web and a mid-stiff flex allow for a huge store of energy and stability in the most treacherous conditions, while 7mm of taper ensures great float and easy edge to edge transitions.
The new Shapeshifter is an update to the infamous Shaper Twin – the board that Chris Corning pioneered the quad cork on. The flex, sidecut, and 10mm of taper remain the same, but the nose shape is upgraded with more volume for better versatility moving from park to pow.
Last but not least is an update to the Swift. With a new shape, new sizing (158, 163), an added 153 model, the Swift looks like the ultimate powder board, but it’s hardpack performance will have you grinning from ear to ear. Not just a quiver board, the Swift is a versatile daily driver.
Whether you're buying your first snowboard or your 50th, these 2024 snowboards, boots, and bindings provide a ton of great options. From awesome variety of fun directional shapes, to the continued development of women's boards, there is truly a snowboard for every type of rider in 2024.
