evo.com | Never Summer Snowboards > A stout, powerful directional board meant for aggressive riders, the Never Summer Proto FR Snowboard is built around Never Summer's bomber WooBoo core, with Carbon Max elements added for even more pop and performance. At an "8" flex, this is one of the stiffer boards on the wall and just what stronger, bigger riders are looking for. 2 x 4 Insert Pattern 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. Flex Rating 8 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) 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. 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. | Never Summer Proto FR Snowboard 2025 - 156 /Plastic
