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.

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.
Board has exceeded my expectations! Groomer, powder, trees, jumps, it can do it all!
The synthesis is so fun and poppy. Not to mention stable at high speed and great in light pow. I got this board looking for a park/all mountain ripper and it shreds. Big fan. Takes a little to break it in then it’s just a great board.
I got the 152 and have been blown away at the performance this board delivers. It truly gives back when you need it to. It absolutely dominates all conditions with ease. 10/10 Recommend.
