Snowboard

Never Summer Proto FR Snowboard 2025

A stout, powerful directional board meant for aggressive riders, the Never Summer Proto FR Snowboard is built around Never Summer's bomber WooBoo core, with Carbon Max elements added for even more pop and performance. At an "8" flex, this is one of the stiffer boards on the wall and just what stronger, bigger riders are looking for.

Product Details

Rocker Type

Triple CamberEvery function of a snowboard is now improved with Never Summer’s new patented Triple Camber Profile... edge hold, stability, power, pop, speed, float, forgiveness and smooth responsiveness. Words and images are never going to do it justice!

Flex

Flex Rating8 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)

Dampness Rating8 (1 Lively - 10 Damp)

Shape

Vario Power Grip SidecutVario Power Grip Sidecut utilizes multiple radiuses creating extra contact points to enhance edge hold. A flat section in the rocker area provides a broad contact point when flexed, however when unbent allows the board to track straight and not catch. Flanking this straight section are two shallow radii which provide the second and third contact points. Towards the ends of the sidecut are deep radius which renders quick turn initiation and the final contact points.

Core

WooBoo CoreThe WooBoo Core is a precise mix of Poplar, Paulownia, Birch and Bamboo that brings out the best in each material.

Laminates

STS Pretensioned FiberglassThe world's best snowboard fiberglass, period. This advanced pre-hardened, pre-tensioned, layered laminate has added elastomer stringers between the 0 degree and 90 degree glass fibers (the length of the effective edge). This produces a stronger bond between the individual glass laminates giving our snowboards unmatched strength, edge hold and performance.

Bi-Lite FiberglassBi-Lite Fiberglass combines many of the strength characteristics of Never Summer's STS fiberglass with an ultralight glass fiber matrix. This delivers incredible freestyle and freeride performance without sacrificing durability.

Carbon Max Laminate TechnologyMore carbon equals more power and performance. The Carbon Max Laminate Technology combines an advanced top and bottom carbon matrix to maximize response and strength where it's needed most. The result is a lightweight yet powerful configuration that provides torsional rigidity and energy transfer without sacrificing the control a rider needs.

Sidewalls

Sintered UHMW Polyethylene SidewallsNever Summer was the first snowboard company to use and perfect Sintered P-Tex Sidewalls, and they've never seen one crack. Unlike conventional ABS sidewalls that have a tendency to crack in colder temperatures, Sintered P-Tex Sidewalls maintain their integrity at any temperature.

Base

Durasurf XT Sintered 5501 BaseCrown 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.

Edges

Full Wrap Metal Edge

Topsheet

Coextruded Polymer TopsheetThe Premium Topsheet is a durable, lightweight, scratch and chip resistant fiber backed thermoplastic. The premium topsheets also provide more grip than other topsheet materials, working as a built-in stomp pad.

Binding

Flux XF Snowboard Bindings 2025

Go higher and ride faster strapped into the Flux XF Snowboard Bindings. These binders serve up efficient power thanks to their heelside stabilizer and resistant material that's stiff and lightweight. A symmetric retro mod highback supports hard landings and the Boost FootOn+ footbed elevates your edging.

Product Details

Flex

Flex Rating7 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)

Baseplate

Super Ultima BaseLightweight with quick edge-to-edge response while the board is being flexed.

Performance BlendA nylon and fiberglass mix for all-around performance.

Boost FootOn+The center is made of a soft material, and when you step on it, it naturally becomes concave, making it easier for the toe and heel to step on it. Of course, the surface is made of a material that does not easily get snow on it.

Responsive StabilizerA large stabilizer designed for XF with an emphasis on quick reaction and power transmission. Made of highly resilient TPU material, it protects the board while boasting high response performance.

Five Holes Highback RotationFive highback mounting holes allow rotation at both foot forward angles.

Flat BottomThe base plate has a flat shape with fewer bumps on the underside, allowing for direct power transmission while still taking care of the top sheet of the board.

Toolless LeverFind your optimum settings without any tools. The stopper prevents any screws coming loose.

Multi DiscIn addition to the conventional 4x4 screw holes, this disc is also channel-compatible.

Highback

Retro-Mod HighbackThe outside takes on a classically symmetric shape. The inner asymmetric structure provides resilience while following the movement of the boots, and offers improves torsion control when landing.

Super Tough NylonA fiber mix with a medium flex that is perfect for all mountain riding.

Redux Lean AdjusterA highback adjuster that offers precision adjustments when used in unison with the Flux Micro Adjuster.

Micro AdjusterAdjust forward lean in 2.5° increments with each click for finer highback settings.

Straps

Waffle StrapWaffle shaped cushioning provides ample hold and unparalleled comfort, and two layer-construction offers direct power transfer.

FTM 5.0 Toe StrapThe middle of the strap uses a more rigid material for increased power transfer, with top and bottom ends using a more flexible material for a better boot fit.

L-GuideFor a smooth in and out. Holds ratchet ladders down.

UU FitA 360° wrap evens out pressure for a natural feel and hold.

Buckles

Beer BucklesNewly engineered buckles give you more leverage when cranking down on the straps allowing you to get to the last click with minimal effort. Functions as a bottle opener in case of beverage emergencies.
