Never Summer

Ripsaw Snowboard

Loaded with twice the camber as Never Summer's traditional Rocker Camber boards, the Never Summer Ripsaw Snowboard tears apart early-morning groomers, freshly cut pipes, and tight tree runs with surgical precision. There's still rocker underfoot for a bit of added playfulness, but make no mistake, the board's Ripsaw profile and medium-stiff flex aren't for the faint of heart, catering more towards riders who bomb steeps at blistering speeds and send gigantic kickers on a regular basis.

Aggressive camber zones improve pop, response, and edge hold to help you take on the steepest slopes, tightest tree runs, and biggest jumps your resort has to offer. Meanwhile, rocker between the bindings adds a bit of playfulness and helps it float in powder. Extended transition zones at the main contact points offer a more forgiving feel and help the board plane in powder more easily, and the Vario Power Grip sidecut utilizes multiple radii to create additional contact points for reliable edge hold on the sketchy steeps and icy pipe walls.

Sustainably-harvested poplar is fused with hardwood birch to create an incredibly lightweight, yet durable core. Bi-Lite fiberglass gives it a smooth, even flex, while Carbon VXR laminates extend in Vs from the inserts to the edges for efficient energy transfer that improves response and loads up the board on ollies and springs you out of turns. The RDS 2 damping system smooths out the ride and adds stability when you're exit a pow stash and find yourself surrounded by chop and chunder. Sintered P-Tex sidewalls maintain integrity at cold temperatures, meaning they won't crack when you land a little tail-heavy off a jump on a frosty morning. It's finished off with an extremely fast and durable Durasurf sintered base that resists damages from rocks and trees and keeps you moving through flat spots on slow, snowy days.
