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.

Great board to ride!
I can't recommend enough. It is simply awesome!
The NS proto synthesis truly gives that surfing feel.. Super impressed.. handles the powder, griomies, & park like a champ. It made this 45year old feel like he was in his 20s.. my teen couldn’t keep up 💪🏼
3rd never summer board in the family
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.
