evo.com | Never Summer Snowboards > Does that so called all-mountain board really do it all? Really really? If the answer starts with a muddled "yeah, but...", you need to check out the Never Summer Shaper Twin Snowboard. By borrowing a little bit from a lot of different snowboards, this Franken-board offers stellar performance in almost every category. The tapered, directional twin shape, medium flex, and Ripsaw Rocker Camber deliver insane edge hold and pop, the rockered nose and Blower Stance inserts make it a blast to ride in deep snow, and a Carbon Max Laminate gives it the torsional stiffness to handle high speed chunder-busting. If you're looking for a true quiver of one, the Shaper Twin checks all the boxes. 2 x 4 Insert Pattern 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 6 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) 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 Durasurf XT Sintered 5501 Base Crown Plastics has developed an exclusive, super fast, durable sintered base specifically for higher end boards.
