Topics from the brands featured on the 26th and 27th
Introducing the "MEN'S PROTO SWIFT," which delivers a surf-like ride!
One of the biggest topics in NEVER SUMMER's 26-27 collection is the introduction of the "MEN'S PROTO SWIFT." It is positioned as a new model that modernizes freeride performance, aiming to express the turning sensation inspired by surfing on the snow
MEN'S PROTO SWIFT
TRIPLE CAMBER HYBRID
Flex: DAMP 8
Size: 148, 152, 157, 162, 167
￥159,500
The defining features of this model are its iconic SWIFT design and swallowtail shape. Designed to ensure buoyancy in deep powder while allowing for nimble line carving on groomed slopes, it strongly reflects the idea of enjoying everyday resort slopes like a surf spot. The evolution from the conventional double camber to a TRIPLE CAMBER HYBRID also contributes to a higher level of freeride performance, which is a point not to be overlooked
With settings of FLEX 7 and DAMP 8, it's clear that this board offers a stable ride even at high speeds and during deep turns. Combining a surf-like turning feel with high gliding stability, it's one of the new models that symbolizes this season's NEVER SUMMER collection
The "MEN'S PROTO SWIFT DT" boasts reliable buoyancy and versatility
Another noteworthy model is the "MEN'S PROTO SWIFT DT." This model adopts a DT (Directional Twin) design and is being marketed as a new model that combines surf-like buoyancy with high versatility for all-mountain riding

TRIPLE CAMBER RECURVE
FLEX 5: DAMP 6
Size: 156, 160, 161X
\154,000
Its most distinctive feature lies in its design, which offers both directionality and freedom of movement. By balancing the nose and tail, it provides a stable driving feel while naturally accommodating switch and freestyle maneuvers. Its performance, which is designed with everything from park riding to big mountain freeriding in mind, is a major characteristic of this model
The "PROTO SWIFT DT" employs TRIPLE CAMBER RECURVE, but compared to the PROTO SWIFT, it seems to place more emphasis on ease of handling and broader versatility. Combining the stability of freeride with the freedom of freestyle, it can be positioned as one of the most versatile bikes in the NEVER SUMMER lineup
The power of NEVER SUMMER's unique "TRIPLE CAMBER"
One of the most striking features of NEVER SUMMER boards is their uniquely developed TRIPLE CAMBER shape. By adding a small camber in the center, the number of points that make strong contact with the snow surface when the board is tilted is increased, making it easier to obtain edge hold even on hard-packed snow or icy conditions
On the other hand, the design, which prevents the edges from catching excessively, also ensures buoyancy and maneuverability. This structure, which balances buoyancy in powder with carving performance on ice, is a symbolic element of NEVER SUMMER's design philosophy

The roots of NEVER SUMMER
NEVER SUMMER began as a garage brand in Denver, Colorado, USA in 1983, and officially launched as NEVER SUMMER in 1991. For over 30 years since then, they have maintained a system where craftsmen handcraft each board one by one at their own factory in Denver, consistently pursuing quality from material selection to the final finish. This commitment to continuing to make boards in an environment where they can keep a close eye on everything is a defining characteristic of NEVER SUMMER and the foundation of their trustworthiness
One of NEVER SUMMER's main pillars has been its pursuit of boards that can be used with confidence on any snow surface. Its unique rocker camber (RC) technology and the triple camber, which has become an iconic structure in recent years, are technologies that symbolize its design philosophy. By combining multiple cambers and rockers, it is possible to achieve both buoyancy in powder and edge hold on hard-packed snow, and the ability to maintain a stable ride even on rough snow surfaces is an essential aspect of what makes this brand unique
Furthermore, NEVER SUMMER places a strong emphasis not only on gliding performance but also on durability. Their robust construction and long-term warranty exemplify their commitment to creating boards that can be used safely and reliably for a long time. Rather than simply introducing new technologies, their dedication to achieving a balance between gliding performance and durability is consistently reflected in their current lineup
Furthermore, it's a brand that doesn't lean towards any particular style. It offers a lineup that caters to a variety of riding styles, including freeriding, park riding, jibbing, powder, and carving, demonstrating a broad appeal that accommodates the individuality and preferences of each rider. In addition to fully utilizing the real riding experiences and feedback of riders in its development, NEVER SUMMER strongly stands out as a brand where "the skills of craftsmen and the sensibilities of riders come together."
