evo.com | Never Summer Snowboards > Ever noticed how gnarly East Coast riders are? Born and raised in an unforgiving environment - think scraps of snow intermingled with sub zero temps, bulletproof ice, and skiers from New Jersey - they have to make the best of what they're given and learn to sink or swim. They say if you can ride the East you can ride anywhere, but it takes a special kind of board as well as a special kind of rider. The Never Summer East Snowboard is that board. It's built like a tank with a monstrous effective edge and Never Summer's stiffest, dampest layup for powerful carving performance on rock solid surfaces. Pow? No thanks, this is the East. Isospeed NHS 7816 Race Grade Base Sintered snowboard racing base made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylne (UHMW-PE), with high quality black carbon, modified with special fluor and paraffin base additives for better gliding in a wide range of conditions. P-Tex Tip/Tail Protection Boards with P-Tex Tip/Tail Protection have UHMW plastic, or P-Tex which is a softer molecular material that not only seals and protects the wood core, but also absorbs vibration and impact. Flex Rating 9 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) 2 x 4 Insert Pattern 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 | Never Summer East Snowboard 2022 - 161 /Plastic
