Never Summer snowboards
Never Summer Snowboards is an innovative brand in the snowboard industry. The company was founded in 1991 and has since built a good reputation for producing high-quality snowboards.
The history of Never Summer snowboards
The story of Never Summer Snowboards began in 1983, when Tim Canaday and Tracey Canaday founded the snowboard brand in the mountains of Colorado. The two snowboarding enthusiasts started making snowboards as a hobby and never imagined it would grow into a successful snowboard brand. Never Summer snowboards started small, producing only a few snowboards per week in the beginning. Demand for these great boards quickly grew, leading them to expand their production. In 1991, Never Summer snowboards patented their own technology, which they named "Rocker Camber." This technology provided unprecedented stability and control to the snowboards. This made the snowboards suitable for all levels, from beginners to professional snowboarders.
In the following years, Never Summer continued to evolve their snowboards by using new techniques and materials. In 1994, the brand introduced snowboards with steel edges, enhancing control. In 2001, they introduced a completely new core known as "Carbon VXR Laminate." This innovation gave the Never Summer snowboards unmatched stiffness and responsiveness.

Never Summer snowboards with Rocker and Camber
In the early years of snowboarding, almost all snowboards had a rocker profile. At that time, snowboarding was mainly limited to backhill and backcountry powder riding. Back then, snowboarders were not yet welcome on the slopes. When ski resorts started allowing snowboarders, the snowboard manufacturers switched from a rocker profile to the profile used for skis. Camber allows you to exert more pressure on the snow for better control on harder surfaces. In the 2000s, many brands reintroduced Rocker snowboards to the market after many boarders missed the playful and surfy feeling. Around this time, the founders of Never Summer snowboards examined the pros and cons of each profile and decided to combine both profiles. In 2009, Never Summer patented Rocker and Camber or CRC (camber Rocker Camber) and in 2010, the first Never Summer boards with this technology were introduced to the market. The fusion of both profiles brings the best of both worlds, providing stability and playfulness. Camber offers stability at high speeds and grip in turns. Rocker on the other hand lets you float in the powder and easily jib in the park.
What makes the Triple Camber profile of Never Summer boards revolutionary?
While it's nothing new and several brands combine rocker and camber in one snowboard, Never Summer snowboards has changed the way these different profiles are combined. This has resulted in the most versatile all-mountain snowboard ever created by Never Summer.
Center Camber Zone
While most brands use a camber/rocker combination with two camber zones directly under the foot, Never Summer snowboards has added a third camber in the middle. With this design, your primary edge grip starts from the center of the board, giving you maximum pop when you shift power to your feet. This central camber zone also reduces the pivot of the rocker, making a triple camber snowboard straight and predictable, without any nervousness.
Camber zones under foot
The camber zones under the feet of Never Summer snowboards provide incredible stability at high speeds. When you shift your weight to your toe edge or heel edge, the camber naturally steers you into the turn. Once you set the board on its edge, it actually stays on that edge, providing a confident feeling.
Two small rocker zones
Two small rocker zones between the camber zones give you that little push you need to stay on top of the snow. These additional rocker zones also make the Never Summer boards more playful than other models with similar stiffness and damping.
