Men’s 2023 Triple Camber Proto FR Snowboard

A board that will elevate your game. I've been riding for several years and own all types of boards including a Proto HD and Proto Type 2. I also own a Donek Knapton Twin specifically for carving and consider myself an Advanced Rider (not an expert). Let me tell you how good this board is. It's stiff and wide enough (157X) to sink deep carves on groomers, holds an edge at speed, it's super light and flickable in the trees, the pop on this board means hitting rollers and side hits are fun all day long. It's an all mountain shredder unlike any I've owned. If I had to state what my top praise is on this board, it's the combo of being light and agile along with the stiffness and pop of a heavier full camber board. The Triple Camber didn't take long to get used to (a lap or two) but after 7 or more days on the board it really started to shine. There are things on other boards I was reasonably decent at doing, with this board it's just an afterthought. It does what you want it to do and in a way that makes it all too easy. Not sure if I'd recommend this for a beginner, but otherwise I'd say strap in and rip it.

This board is so sick. I've been able to ride this board in icy conditions, hardpack, slush, and powder and this board is fun to ride in every condition I've put it through. The board is stiff and very damp which makes it easy to hard charge down the mountain. You can tell the board is doing you a lot of favors absorbing everything under your feet. The general feeling of this board is locked-in and confident.

The edge hold really is fantastic. It gives you so much confidence in your edges without giving you that twitchy or catchy feeling at all.

This board also loves to ride powder. In 12 inches of powder and without any extra binding setback the board floats great with very little effort. I found myself adding a little bit of extra weight to my back-foot if I didn't have enough speed. In powder this board feels a bit more surfy than normal but still pretty precise. As is the common theme, it loves to go fast.

I would recommend this board for anyone that loves to charge down the mountain, lay down hard carves and hunt powder in the same day.

I would not recommend this board for beginners because of how stiff it is and how fast it wants to go. I would also not recommend this for park riding.

This board holds an edge over than anything I have ridden, especially in variable conditions. Confidence is huge at high speed and it delivers a solid, planted feeling regardless of terrain. Great job to the team at NS. I can tell a lot of time and effort went into this.

Board rides great. Be aware that the top sheet doesn't look nearly as bright and colorful as the photos. The blue is barely visible and the rainbow is very muted. It's obviously more important that it rides great but it was a bit disappointing given it's 600.

There's not much more to say than wow. This board is absolutely next level. I was choosing between a couple of the Never Summer's and reached out on Instagram for a recommendation, big shout out to the team there - they took the time to chat with me to see my needs and ultimately recommended this board, and boy am I glad they did!

This bad boy is a beast! Carves like a dream, steamrolls the junk, and tears down the mountain! The Proto FR is rock solid at speed, but still maneuverable at lowers speeds. I have never felt more confident heading down the mountain than I have strapped to the Proto FR. Might as well call this deck Vin Diesel, because it is fast and furious.
