Product Details
Ten years ago, we created the Proto CT, and the Never Summer Proto series quickly became the best-selling board in snowboard shops across the nation. Proto CT→Proto HD →Proto Type Two…and now the Proto Synthesis brings you a new definition of explosive pop and vice-like edge hold. The Proto Synthesis features Shockwave Rocker Camber, the most massive store of energy found in any profile in snowboarding, and Power Grip Sidecut, the biggest advancement in snowboard edge technology ever created. We’ve created the perfect All Mountain Twin, proving for the 4th time real American snowboard innovation can improve upon perfection.

Ended up needing to rent while traveling and was given this board to ride. On groomed, spring-like conditions in the BC interior, it was snappy and responsive. It felt like it was riding with me rather than me riding it. I’m in love. It’s 100% on my wish list now.
This is one of three boards i got to demo at Loveland today (the guys were super helpful). Truly a great all mountain twin. Bombed the groomers with ease, no chatter and good carving. Trees and steeps and bumps were fun. Easy to turn and holds the edge. If I was looking for an all mountain twin and I could get this in a 150, it would be my go to board.
This is my daily driver, go to board. I ride on the east coast and it holds up to everything. This season hasn't been the best snow wise and I've found myself on a ton of ice. This thing holds an edge on everything and inspires total confidence even hitting those unexpected ice patches at speed. Board rips, really fast and composed, and the ride gets better the more you give it input.
If you’ve been around snowboarding for awhile and have owned different board from various companies as I have then it is very apparent how much better quality Neversummer boards are. The steel in the edges, the super fast base, and let not forget about that stout top sheet. From a riding perspective my Proto Synthesis is an amazing board that keeps me on my toes enough to challenge me to keep getting better and better. I cannot express my gratitude to the crew at NS enough, they make an awesome quality, American made, arts of work that shred like no other board I have owned. Life long customer right here.
This is it, stop looking and buy this one. I just got back from my first day on the Proto Synthesis and it was everything I wanted it to be. Soft bluebird day at Keystone bombing square groomers and launching side hits. The board felt good in the air, riding switch and rippin' shitties. It might be that I was stoked on the new deck but it was one of my better days. I'm 6'0" 195lbs with a 10.5 boot riding the 160x. I stopped in at the Never Summer factory to purchase the deck and the staff there helped me decide on a size. 10/10 will buy again.
