2026 NeverSummer Nokhu Men's Snowboard
Never Summer Nokhu – Tech Story
The 2026 Nokhu by Never Summer is built for riders who demand all-mountain performance with serious freeride and powder capability. With a “Triple Camber Hybrid” profile, 13 mm taper, Early-Rise Float Mechanics, and a directional volume shape, it delivers float in deep snow yet holds edge firmly on hardpack. Mid-wide widths and drag-free design make it maneuverable in tight trees and versatile enough for mixed terrain. Flex and damp ratings at 5/10 make it balanced: not overly stiff, yet stable enough to charge.

Flex / Damp: 5 / 10 each (medium)
