Had to write a review for the amazing customer service experience I had. I reached out via the chat feature on the website and got awesome, prompt support. The chat feature was able to open and close all day as I was at work. The individual helping me was able to help me throughout the day when I had to go back and forth into meetings. Ended up with the exact product I was looking for due to the amazing help I received.
Got the proto synthesis and the mini for my boy for the 23/24 season and they’ve been bangers! Plenty of pop on the mountain and the park. Low chatter and good edge hold. So happy with this purchase and will definitely be buying another Never Summer board in the future! Keep it up!
I’ve been on my old Burton for years, and this year I stepped up to the ProtoSynthesis 160X.
My riding has never had such a quantum leap!
This board holds on the crust, carves through the groomers, and floats on the powder without a moment of doubt.
I’ve been riding since 1989, and this board is the best thing ever had the joy of experiencing on the mountain.
Had the '23 Proto Synthesis for about a year now, and I'm really happy with it. It can go anywhere, and feels comfortable under most any condition. After riding a flat profile board for over a decade, the Shockwave Camber feels really great and poppy. It is also pretty darn stable with speed too.
Finally a true wide board! I Bought my first proto synthesis (159DF) last season and this has been I a life saver I’m a boot size 13 and I can finally say no more toe drag 🙏My only wish would be for a 154DF with the same waist width as a 159 so I can move better in the park. Other than that this thing shreds very stable at high speeds.
