NEVER SUMMER Women's Proto T3 FR Snowboard 2026

Stemmed from the Lady FR the new Women’s T3 FR is a hard-charging freeride snowboard. Aggressive yet easy to manage this board is an innovation packed ripper full of peak performance.

**BASE DESIGNS AND COLOURS MAY VARY**

Flex: 7/10

Shape: True Twin - Freestyle specific: Identical tip/tail lengths, symmetrical core profiling, flex and a centered binding stance.

Bend: Triple Camber Hybrid Profile - Triple Camber Hybrid is a game changing innovation. The center rocker of our patented Rocker Camber profile now contains a third camber area creating two small high pressure rocker sections on either side. The result is R.I.P. Edge Hold Technology, a powerful edge hold tech without the drag of serrated edges and a balanced ride not found in any other profile. Triple Camber Hybrid makes the most efficient use of your entire edge. The primary edge hold starts from the center of the board. It’s insanely responsive and stable and aids the high performance engagement of the two outside camber areas located under your feet. The overall Hybrid rocker shape retains the effortless float, playful and forgiving feel, vice-like edge hold, rocket launching pop, and insane butterability. Game changed.

Sidecut: Power Grip Sidecut - 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 radiuses which provide the second and third contact points. Towards the ends of the sidecut are deep radiuses which render quick turn initiation and the final contact points.

Core: WooBoo Wood Core - Never Summer's WOOBOO WOOD CORE combines Bamboo stringers, Paulownia, Poplar and Birch. The Bamboo stringers are light, extremely strong and gives the board quick reflex and lessens vibration. Paulowina is a hardwood that can grow up to 15 feet a year! Bamboo and Paulownia are great sustainable options, Other hardwoods, Poplar and Birch are added, giving the core a great strength to weight ratio. Birch is strategically placed underneath the mounting inserts for a secure, solid connection.This combination of wood species and Bamboo supply the snowboard with a crisp and light underfoot feel with powerful performance.

Fibreglass: Bi-Lite Fiberglass - BI-LITE FIBERGLASS combines many of the strength characteristics of our STS fiberglass with an ultra light glass fiber matrix. This delivers incredible freestyle and freeride performance without sacrificing durability.

Precision Stitched Carbon Matrix (PSCM) with T3 Carbon Mapping Embossment. - This innovative process weaves variable  thicknesses of carbon fiber into targeted zones precisely aligning with performance points for unmatched energy transfer and control. PSCM enhances performance where it matters most—turning every ride into an elevated experience. 

Base: Durasurf XT Sintered 5501 Base - Our suppliers have developed an exclusive, super fast, durable sintered base specifically for our boards. Just the right amount of graphite has been added making the DURASURF XT SINTERED 5501 BASE one of the fastest and certainly the most durable P-Tex bases on the market..

EXTRAS

R.I.P. Edge Hold Technology - While other companies stick to edge technology that tweaks the side edge of the board, jutting out and receding like a serrated blade creating a catchy feeling, our R.I.P. Edge Hold Technology marks a revolutionary leap in snowboard design. Instead of the traditional 'grabby' wavy edges that drag through the snow, this new technology integrates waves into the board’s profile on the base plane, creating multiple high pressure points while allowing for smooth glide without drag. This unique design ensures consistent pressure when on edge, leading to smoother, more balanced rides.

RDS 1 Damping System - The laminated damping layers of RDS 1 are the most extensive in the line. Utilizing a high amount of elastomeric rubber along the effective edge provides unmatched vibration damping and edge hold in variable snow conditions. This substantial damping system also supplies a snowboard with optimal high speed stability.

Sintered UHMW Polyethylene Sidewall - We were the first snowboard company to use and perfect UHMW POLYETHYLENE SIDEWALL (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene), and we've never seen one crack. Unlike conventional ABS sidewalls, that have a tendency to crack in colder temperatures, UHMW POLYETHYLENE SIDEWALL maintain their integrity at any temperature. UHMW Polyethylene sidewalls also enhance damping characteristics above the metal edge.

P-Tex Nose/Tail Protection - P-TEX TIP/TAIL PROTECTION places UHMW or Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene out to the ends of the board for incredible durability. This material protects these crucial ends of the boards from impact damage and will not crack or break. It not only absorbs impact but also a high amount of residual vibration, while sealing and protecting the wood core.

Co-Extruded Polymer Topsheet - The PREMIUM TOPSHEETS are our very durable, lightweight, scratch and chip resistant fiber backed thermoplastic. These premium topsheets also provide extremely vibrant colors along with more grip than other topsheet materials, working as a built in stomp pad.

Elastomeric Underfoot Stabilizers - ELASTOMERIC UNDERFOOT STABILIZERS are placed directly below the mounting area, providing optimum vibration and shock absorption and increase high-speed stability. These underfoot stabilizers also add cushioning while reducing foot fatigue.

Extended Transition Area - A flat section of a snowboards profile, the TRANSITION AREA, that lies at the end of the camber zones just before the tip/tail rise. This area smooths out the transition between the camber area and the tip rise for fluid turn initiation and enhanced powder floatation.

Early-Rise Float Mechanics - EARLY RISE is a longer tip section that comes off the snow closer to the front binding area. This front end rise and float design gives a board incredible lift in powder, slush and heavier snow conditions. This also provides very smooth turn initiation compared to a traditional steeper kick transition that tends to plow or push snow when engaging a turn.
