evo.com | Never Summer Snowboards > The Never Summer Proto Slinger Snowboard looks normal enough, but when the chips are down it comes out firing. Softer flexing and just what the doctor orders for jibby fun all the way down the line, the Proto Slinger uses Shock Wave Rocker Camber and the proven Never Summer Superlight Wood Core and provides excellent soft snow performance as well as a forgiving platform for park progression. NS Superlight Wood Core Never Summer uses a custom blend of wood species that was created to be the lightest weight yet durable core on the market. The NS Superlight Wood Core is CNC sanded in the custom wood working facility to a fraction of a millimeter. A tailored flex is perfected, giving their snowboards unequaled performance. Flex Rating 4 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) Asym 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. The asymmetrical version of the Vario sidecut puts a longer radius on the toe side and a shorter radius on the heel side. 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. 2 x 4 Insert Pattern The Season Universal Snowboard Bindings are the perfect daily driver for riders who place equal value on performance, function, and longevity.
