DAMPNESS & FLEX METERS
Dampness: 10 is very damp (more stable and smooth riding at high speeds), 1 is least damp (more snappy and lively underfoot) Flex: 10 is stiffer in flex (better for high speed freestyle and freeriding, better for bigger riders), 1 is softer in flex (better for presses, butters, more forgiving) ROCKER & CAMBER
Never Summer’s lineup featuring our patented R.C. (Rocker & Camber) Technology and Vario Power Grip sidecut geometry combines a rocker freestyle feel with all mountain high speed performance. Unlike older generation rocker and “flat”camber designs that may perform well in powder and parks but lack stability and edgehold when riding fast, our combined rocker and camber (R.C. Technology) design destroys anything in its path from parks to steeps, to powder and high speed cruisers. This technology blends a NS custom rocker profile with separate camber areas at each end of the board, providing unmatched power and snap out of turns. This also provides better board tracking for high speed stability and massive ollies. The Vario Power Grip sidecut works perfectly with this new design by adding increased edgehold precisely where it’s needed most; from 2 inches outside of each binding, inward towards the center of the board providing added control and response in any condition.

Thanks for the awesome rieevw I’m trying to choose between the Heritage X and the Raptor X. My style is pretty much freeride I spend most my time off piste/on groomers, with very little time in the park, so I want a board that is good at carving/holding an edge/good in powder, BUT I want a board with lots of pop that for example can manage to pop off its fakie edge for a cab 360 off the flat (not that i’m buying a board for 1 trick, but it illustrates the point!!). Does the Raptor have enough pop for this or is it too stiff? I’m assuming the Heritage can For me the choice between the two is a toss up between superior board performance for freereding (i.e. Raptor) versus a better board for messing about! I would rather the Raptor on this basis, but really want a board you can piss about on and do tricks/spins off natural lips, moguls and random bumps Will the raptor be playful enough?! Thanks
