When Odin straps in, you can bet your Bitcoin it's not on some wimpy mortal board - his choice for all-mountain domination is invariably the Never Summer Valhalla Snowboard. This is Never Summer's stiffest, most directional (7mm of taper) ride with extra Full Recluse Carbon in the layup and a powerful flex to boot. The Norse gods love this board, and so will you.
Triple Camber Fusion – Never Summer's proven Triple Camber profile, tuned for a directional design, with a shorter transition area at the tail.
Flex Rating – 8.5 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Dampness – 5
Vario Power Grip Sidecut – Vario Power Grip Sidecut utilizes multiple radiuses creating extra contact points to enhance edge hold. A flat section in the rocker area provides a broad contact point when flexed, however when unbent allows the board to track straight and not catch. Flanking this straight section are two shallow radii which provide the second and third contact points. Towards the ends of the sidecut are deep radius which renders quick turn initiation and the final contact points.
Taper – 7mm
Powersurf Wood Core – Poplar and Paulownia laminated with Birch stringers in the binding mount areas
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.
Elastomeric Underfoot Stabilizers – Elastomeric Underfoot Stabilizers directly below the mounting area provide optimum vibration absorption and increase high-speed stability while reducing foot fatigue.
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.
Full Wrap Metal Edge with Aluminum Tail
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.

Canted Footbeds
Asym Molecular Bushing – More durable and more cushioned than traditional thermoformed EVA, Molecular Bushings act as a suspension system between the baseplate and the boards top sheet, to help reduce vibrations from harsh snow pack. The all-new asymmetrical bushing shape allows for increased freestyle flexibility and natural inward canting while riding.
2-Layer Baseplate Construction – A traditional snowboard baseplate is made of a single layer with the same material and stiffness throughout. Union’s all-new 2 Layer baseplate construction allows us to have two individual layers: the Core and the Frame. Each layer has the possibility of using a unique material and stiffness to achieve the desired ride feel of the binding.
Falcor | Asym Forged Hybrid 3.0 – Eco-Friendly Duraflex Blue and Italian made Forged Carbon combine to create a flex profile that compliments Travis Rice’s aggressive freestyle riding. The stiff and responsive Forged Carbon spine allows for instant edge to edge control, while the nylon frame allows for freestyle flexibility and comfort. The updated asymmetrical shape follows the natural angle of the leg for a more anatomical fit and flex. 10% lighter than the previous generation of Falcor highbacks.
Classic FLAD – Pull the lever away from the highback and quickly adjust your forward lean angle to suit the terrain in front of you.
Forma Hybrid 1.0 Ankle Strap – Instant response meets all day long foot comfort. The Hybrid 1.0 ankle strap combines our responsive Exoframe exterior with the cushioned comfort and flexibility of the Forma interior.

Lightweight, durable, and extremely comfortable, the Hybrid 1.0 ankle strap has quickly become a new freestyle team favorite.
TS 6.0 Toe Strap – Separating the exterior toe strap frame and interior rubber grip allows the rubber grip to form fit perfectly to any boot shape on the market today, while a new more integrated toe connector gives the the binding a more finished overall look.
