Women’s 2025 Proto Synthesis Snowboard

I wasn’t even in the market for a new board before I demoed the ‘24 Women’s Proto Synthesis. But after test riding one I couldn’t imagine my life without it! To my delight I received the board for Christmas. My first day on it I nailed a 180 front side nose roll that I had been working on since last season. I quickly mastered that, added board grabs to my repertoire and now I’ve started landing jump 180s consistently, regular & switch. I’m even getting cheers from the chairs when riding under lifts. Those of you who have been riding for a while know what incredibly high praise that is. I don’t want to speak poorly of another brand but my last board was one of the consistently best rated boards on the market but I don’t think I’ve ever progressed as fast as I have since I started riding my Proto Synthesis. I have nothing but praise for this board. She responds like a good dance partner and I’m able to quickly maneuver as needed. It turns, pivots & spins like an extension of my own body, yet I am still able to carry my speed over cat tracks without the board trying to squirrel into a turn or try to fishtail. I am also able to butter without the tail trying to swing around.

This has not been the best snow year for the Summit County Colorado resorts. I’m a very good rider but my last board had slipped out from under me on ice several times earlier in this season, even with freshly sharpened edges. I was starting to become a bit fearful and my love for the sport was beginning to decline. I was interested in the ‘24 over the ‘23 because it has slightly better bite on ice. I wanted anything that would help prevent further bruising to my rear end. I am please to report that I haven’t slipped on ice once since this lovely lady came into my life. This went from a horrible season to one of the best I’ve had because of this new board!

The Never Summer customer service has been amazing as well. Joey at the demo stand did a fantastic job of qualifying me for the right board according to my skill level and riding style. Vance has been incredibly responsive and helpful when I ask questions through the web page chat. Never Summer has rightfully earned my loyalty and I am happy to be supporting a local, home grown company. Ladies, do yourself a favor and demo one of these boards. I’m 5’3”, 120lbs and riding a 139.

I love this 2023 design, the double trees, the mountain and clouds, just gorgeous! I mean... this is a so-called women's board

Just got my board after test riding it earlier this season, and I’m excited to finally take it for a spin! But I 100% agree with the previous review… the graphic is HIDEOUS. I really wanted to upgrade my board this year (it’s my 3rd, I’ve been riding for 12 years), so I had to suck it up and deal with the graphic, but honestly… it’s the ugliest board I’ve ever seen. At least I don’t have to worry about anyone stealing it at the mountain. My husband’s never summer West has a gorgeous design, meanwhile this one looks like Salvador Dali was tripping. To make matters worse, I got one with a black bottom, instead of the blue in the photo. UGH. I know it’s about the performance, but STILL. A cool graphic would make it that much better. So I can’t give it 5 stars.
I paired it with my old Lexa bindings.

Boards are great, but the graphics for most of the women's models are hideous. Please make another cool graphic like last years without pink/purple/copious amounts of white. I’m not a little girl, I’m a mountain athlete. We like black, dark colors, and neutrals too!

この板を初めて乗った時背中に羽が生えました👋
春の重い雪でも全く疲れないこの板は幻です。
板をまた変える時も必ずネバサマにしたいと思っています。
早くシーズンインしたいです。
