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.
Recurve Triple Camber – A fusion of Triple Camber and Traditional Camber that puts more pressure where you want it for improved stability, edgehold and tracking.
Flex Rating – 7 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Dampness Rating – 5 (1 Lively - 10 Damp)
Recurve All Montain Directional – A tapered shape designed to work in harmony with the Recurve Triple Camber profile
5mm Taper
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Go higher and ride faster strapped into the Flux XF Snowboard Bindings. These binders serve up efficient power thanks to their heelside stabilizer and resistant material that's stiff and lightweight. A symmetric retro mod highback supports hard landings and the Boost FootOn+ footbed elevates your edging.
Flex Rating – 7 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Super Ultima Base – Lightweight with quick edge-to-edge response while the board is being flexed.
Performance Blend – A nylon and fiberglass mix for all-around performance.
Boost FootOn+ – The center is made of a soft material, and when you step on it, it naturally becomes concave, making it easier for the toe and heel to step on it. Of course, the surface is made of a material that does not easily get snow on it.
Responsive Stabilizer – A large stabilizer designed for XF with an emphasis on quick reaction and power transmission. Made of highly resilient TPU material, it protects the board while boasting high response performance.
Five Holes Highback Rotation – Five highback mounting holes allow rotation at both foot forward angles.
Flat Bottom – The base plate has a flat shape with fewer bumps on the underside, allowing for direct power transmission while still taking care of the top sheet of the board.
Toolless Lever – Find your optimum settings without any tools. The stopper prevents any screws coming loose.
Multi Disc – In addition to the conventional 4x4 screw holes, this disc is also channel-compatible.
Retro-Mod Highback – The outside takes on a classically symmetric shape. The inner asymmetric structure provides resilience while following the movement of the boots, and offers improves torsion control when landing.
Super Tough Nylon – A fiber mix with a medium flex that is perfect for all mountain riding.
Redux Lean Adjuster – A highback adjuster that offers precision adjustments when used in unison with the Flux Micro Adjuster.
Micro Adjuster – Adjust forward lean in 2.5° increments with each click for finer highback settings.
Waffle Strap – Waffle shaped cushioning provides ample hold and unparalleled comfort, and two layer-construction offers direct power transfer.
FTM 5.0 Toe Strap – The middle of the strap uses a more rigid material for increased power transfer, with top and bottom ends using a more flexible material for a better boot fit.
L-Guide – For a smooth in and out. Holds ratchet ladders down.
UU Fit – A 360° wrap evens out pressure for a natural feel and hold.
Beer Buckles – Newly engineered buckles give you more leverage when cranking down on the straps allowing you to get to the last click with minimal effort. Functions as a bottle opener in case of beverage emergencies.
Lightness – 4 (1 Light - 5 Lightest)
