NEVER SUMMER Shaper Snowboard 2023

The Shaper is the most versatile and unique board on the hill. It takes a board this unusual to rule all snowboarding categories. Twin in length, yet tapered in direction, the Shaper Twin gives you balanced and exceptional performance in every terrain ventured. The tail features Ripsaw Rocker Camber so you get trench digging edge hold, snap out of turns, and huge pop. Original Rocker Camber in the nose for insane float and a surfy feel. The Blower Stance makes the Shaper a deep pow destroyer too! This is basically the board everyone should be riding.

**base designs and colors may vary**

Flex: 6/10

Shape: Directional Twin - A twin shape for freestyle moves with a directional flex for power at high-speed. Binding stance is set back from center slightly.

Bend: Fusion Rocker Camber - Introducing Fusion RC. We put the edge gripping hold, the snap out of turns, and the huge pop of Ripsaw RC in the back and combined it with the float and surfy feel of Original RC in the front. Fusion is here to bring back the fun and fluidity that will make snowboarding dynamic again.

Core: NS SuperLight Wood Core - Using a custom blend of wood species that was created to be the lightest weight yet durable core on the market. Our NS SUPERLIGHT WOOD CORE is CNC sanded in our custom wood working facility to a fraction of a millimeter. A tailored flex is perfected, giving our snowboards unequaled performance.

Fibreglass: Carbon Max Tech, Bi-Lite Fiberglass, STS Pre-tensioned Fiberglass

Base: Durasurf XT Sintered 5501 Base - Crown Plastics has developed an exclusive, super fast, durable sintered base specifically for our higher end boards. Just the right amount of graphite has been added making the DURASURF XT SINTERED 5501 BASE the fastest we've ever used.

EXTRAS

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

Extended Transition Area - A small, flat section in the snowboard profile that improves both turn initiation and powder floatation.

Vario Power Grip Sidecut - VARIO 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

Elastomeric Underfoot Stabilizers - ELASTOMERIC UNDERFOOT STABILIZERS directly below the mounting area provide optimum vibration absorption and increase high-speed stability while reducing foot fatigue

RDS 2 Dampening System - This lightweight system uses three narrower laminated damping layers that provide the perfect combination of vibration, absorption, and stability. RDS 2 is the perfect balance of freeride stability and freestyle liveliness

Sintered P-Tex Sidewall - We were the first snowboard company to use and perfect SINTERED P-TEX SIDEWALLS, and we'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.

P-Tex Nose/Tail Protection - Boards with P-TEX TIP/TAIL PROTECTION have UHMW Plastic, or P-Tex, which is a softer molecular material, that not only seals and protects the wood core, but also absorbs vibration and impact.
