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

Core
PowerSurf Core – A high percentage of lightweight Paulownia is combined with Poplar and Birch running down the middle of the core and Poplar along the sidecut edge. Adding strength and the optimum amount of torsional rigidity. THE POWERSURF WOOD CORE strategically combines these woods in crucial areas of the core for a durable yet lightweight feel.
Laminates
Precision Stitched Carbon Matrix – This method involves precisely stitching carbon fiber into specific zones, particularly around the nose, tail, and between the bindings, to align with the board's intended flex and response characteristics. The result is improved energy transfer, increased torsional rigidity, and enhanced control, providing riders with a more responsive and stable ride across various terrains and conditions.
T3 Directional Carbon Mapping Embossment – An advanced snowboard construction technology designed to enhance performance by strategically integrating carbon fiber into the board's structure. This technique involves embedding carbon fiber patterns into specific zones of the snowboard, particularly focusing on the nose, tail, and areas between the bindings. The carbon is precisely woven and stitched into the core, creating a directional pattern that aligns with the board's intended flex and response characteristics. This design aims to deliver energy exactly where the snowboarder needs it, dramatically improving maneuverability and control.
Sidewalls
Sintered UHMW Polyethylene Sidewalls – Never 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.
Edges
R.I.P Edge-Hold Technology – Never Summer's R.I.P. (Rocker Integrated Performance) Edge Hold Technology enhances grip and stability across various conditions. This configuration allows for smooth turn initiation, a playful and forgiving feel, and explosive pop, making it suitable for riders who want a board that excels in diverse terrains and riding styles
