We have never understood the point of learning tricks if you can't stomp them all over the mountain. The Never Summer Proto Slinger Snowboard provides us with the control and confidence we need to stomp back 3's in powder, nose block on stumps, and butter high-speed rollers until our heart is content. This control and freestyle freedom is created by the combination of a damp fiberglass construction, camber under our boots, and rocker in between.
