2026 NeverSummer Proto Type 3 Men's Snowboard

Never Summer Proto Type 3 – Tech Story

Following the design DNA of the Proto Type 2, the 2026 Proto Type 3 has been developed as a true-twin all-mountain board with balanced performance across terrain. U.S. Team Rider Chase Blackwell spent two years refining it, equipping it with a new Precision Stitched Carbon Matrix, Triple Camber Recurve Profile, and fully balanced flex & damp ratings (6/10 each). It blends power, pop, agility, and stability—ideal for riders who want one board that can charge hard, freestyle, tour, and carve without compromise. 

Flex: 6 / 10 

Damping: 6 / 10
