Vector illustration of a communication concept. The word communication Never Summer Proto Ultra Snowboard 2022. DESCRIPTION: Chris Corning, Never Summer Team Rider and World Champion Snowboarder, needs a board with an Ultra massive store of power that wont buckle under pressure. The Proto Ultra features a unique shape, our new Shock Wave Rocker Camber Profile, an ultra augmented Carbon Configuration and WooBoo Core. Our CC Carbon Configuration has a full perimeter, top side carbon X and base side dual carbon X for Ultra power. The WooBoo Core is a precise mix of the highest quality woods and bamboo that bring out the ultra performance in each material. Ultra freestyle performance coupled with Ultra freeride carvabilitya symbiosis of power. FEATURES: Shock Wave Rocker Camber Shock Wave Rocker Camber gives you the shock of explosive power and the fluid feel of riding a wave. SWRC features longer camber areas under the bindings for huge pop and vice like stability with a smaller rocker area in between that retains quick turn initiation and flotation. The hallmarks of the patented Rocker Camber Profile. Extended Transition Area Never Summer adds a small flat section in the snowboard profile that improves both turn initiation and powder flotation. Flex Rating 8 (1 Soft 10 Stiff) Dampness Rating 6 (1 Lively 10 Damp) 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 Low Profile Tip Tail A low profile in the nose and tail of the snowboard maximizes material contact with the snow for more powerful ollie nollie pop and stability to your landings. Low Profile Tip Tail also reduces the plowing effect in the nose for better glide to the next feature and superior float when it's deep. WooBoo Core The WooBoo Core is a precise mix of the highest quality woods and bamboo that brings out the ultra performance in each material. Carbon Max Laminate Technology More carbon equals more power and performance. The Carbon Max Laminate Technology combines an advanced top and bottom carbon matrix to maximize response and strength where it's needed most. The result is a lightweight yet powerful configuration that provides torsional rigidity and energy transfer without sacrificing the control a rider needs. 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. 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. Elastomeric Underfoot Stabilizers Elastomeric Underfoot Stabilizers directly below the mounting area provide optimum vibration absorption and increase high speed stability while reducing foot fatigue. Harmonic Tip Tail Damper Harmonic Dampers in the tip and tail take out a high percentage of residual vibration by quieting the nose and tail. This enhances stability at speed, in variable snow conditions and on board landings without deadening the liveliness and pop of the cambered areas. Sintered P Tex 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. Premium 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. 2 x 4 Insert Pattern
