Never Summer Cougar Snowboard 2025
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
Rocker Type
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
Flex Rating – 7 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Dampness Rating – 5 (1 Lively - 10 Damp)
Shape
Recurve All Montain Directional – A tapered shape designed to work in harmony with the Recurve Triple Camber profile
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.

Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Flex Rating
Stiff The amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers' number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.
