Disappointed but great feel

By Ranked #141 - All Mountain Snowboards July 2, 2009

So I'm from Colorado and grew up riding Never Summer, Burton and Sims boards. I love the Never Summer's feel and it's been a local company for me which I like but this board disappointed me. I didn't have it too long before one of my edges split and pulled away from the board. After looking at the base near the edge it was shocking at how easily it split since there was basically no material gouged out of the base. I tried to claim a warranty but they said it wasn't faulty materials, and that it was due to hitting a hazard. Yeah, it might have been my fault but it didn't seem like it should have split as easily as it did.

That being said, it was a great board before the incident. I really like the more damp feel of the board. It doesn't feel super jittery and bouncy when pounding the chop. I just wish the customer service were a little better.
