Never summer faithful rider. Been on these boards for over 10 years. Ridden 10 different versions of NS boards. This board is very similar to the playfulness of a Funslinger/Proto and has the response on carving that you’re looking for when charging. I was able to charge straight line choppy powder, tree runs in powder on top of crust. Send jumps do and everything I wanted to in the park and freestyle. So much response in this board and playfulness. It is the all mountain do it all deck. It handles high speed well and allows you to have control in any conditions.

The Llama 2026 is a work of art, nice feel, good flex and ready for everything!
Used it in the park this past weekend and it was ready for everything! It is rated maintly as a park board, but it can handle its own on the mountain.
Still early in the season, but can't wait to try it once there is more snow in the mountains!
Love how it handles and cuts! Would definitely recommend!
One thing I would of liked is a different graphic for the top and bottom sheet, as it stands they are are both the same, but bottom one is just blown up!
I’ve tried a few boards and my first Neversummer happened to be the Valhalla, highly recommend that as well for freeride. For park though, I fell in love with the recurve triple camber. It’s everything I love about my pure traditional cambered Ride snowboard and the forgiveness of my Valhalla with a super jibby/buttery flex that doesn’t feel unstable on medium jumps. I’ll definitely buy next years if they continue to use real artists like Jimbo, that is just the icing on the cake. Amazing board, amazing art, thank you
Love this board. It’s super light, soft, and great for most conditions. My go to non powder board.
Tested this ride out late last year and love it! Can't wait to get it out more days this season. It is solid and grips into the mountain in firm/icy conditions you can see out east or midwest. It will charge when you want it to and easy to hook up and engage turns where needed. Love the soft feel that lets you feel the ride better. It worked great through cruddy chop snow too. Can't wait to try it in better snowy conditions this season!
