Overview
Conquer any terrain with the Never Summer Proto FR snowboard. This directional all-mountain/freeride board utilizes Never Summer's innovative Triple Camber Profile for exceptional versatility. The three distinct camber zones provide superior edge hold, stability, and explosive pop for aggressive riding on any slope. Rocker sections enhance responsiveness and effortless float in powder, making the Proto FR a true all-conditions weapon. Built with high-performance materials, the Proto FR incorporates Carbon Max Laminate Technology for unmatched pop and precise control, while the RDS 1 Rubber Damping System eliminates chatter and vibrations for a smooth, fatigue-resistant ride. Elastomeric Underfoot Stabilizers further enhance high-speed stability and reduce foot fatigue, keeping you charged for long days exploring the entire mountain.

Features
Triple Camber Profile - Never Summer’s new patented Triple Camber Profile features three unique zones of camber - one in the center and two on the outer edges of your feet with rocker in between to create the ultimate in edge hold, stability, power, pop, speed, float, forgiveness and smooth responsiveness.
Power Grip Sidecut - Deeper cut towards the tip and tail, to an almost completely straight section in the middle, the sidecut is cut on multiple radii for added control and response in any condition.
NS Wooboo Wood Core - A precise mix of the highest quality woods and bamboo that bring out the ultra-performance in each material.
Bi-Lite Fiberglass - Delivers incredible freestyle and freeride performance without sacrificing durability.
STS Pretensioned Fiberglass - A pre-hardened, pre-tensioned, layered fiberglass laminate producing a stronger bond. This gives the board unmatched strength and edge hold.
Carbon Max Laminate Technology - This laminate tech combines a top and bottom carbon makeup allowing energy to continue so you get the most response possible while maintaining torsional stiffness for control.
RDS 1 Rubber Damping System - Three full perimeter layers of elastomeric rubber foil are laminated between the metal edge, fiberglass and wood core to reduce chatter/vibrations.
Elastomeric Underfoot Stabilizers - Rubber pads directly below the mounting area that provide optimum vibration absorption and increase high speed stability while reducing foot fatigue.
Durasurf XT Sintered 5501 Base - Crown Plastics has developed an exclusive, super fast, durable sintered base. Just the right amount of graphite has been added, making it the fastest they've ever made.
3 Year Warranty - Covered under manufacturer warranty for 3 years from the time of purchase! Warranty includes structural defects only and DOES NOT cover impact damage, abuse, misuse or normal wear and tear.
Extended Transition Area - A flat section on the outside of the feet that helps initiate turning, float, and delivers an overall increased consistency in board-feel.
Full Wrap Metal Edges - The edges wrap entirely around the board to create a protective barrier, not only keeping you clinging to the steepest icy faces, but helping to prevent damage when you don't quite make it onto rails.
P-Tex Tip & Tail Protection - Like their sidewalls, Never Summer adds durable P-tex to the nose and tail for added protection to their already bombproof boards.
Early Rise Nose - A lift in the nose to increase loftiness.
