The Ripsaw is not for the faint of hearts. Never Summer has designed one of the most aggressive true twin snowboards on the market. Its new CR profile amplifies and extends the camber giving you sky scraping pop and Hulk-like power that crushes through trees and turns chunder into powder wonder. Never Summer’s traditional rocker camber and vario side-cut are the key to balancing this beast of a board, allowing you to caress its strength with finesse and impeccable control. From park to peak, the Ripsaw harnesses the energy to crush everything. It just needs you to release it. HULK SMASH!

CORE:

NS Custom Flight - Never Summer’s exclusive CUSTOM FLIGHT CORE is the most technically advanced core system we’ve ever used. Designed and built in NS’s woodcore facility, these cores fuse premium hardwood and ultra light softwood laminates together with vertical layers of elastomeric vibration dampers. These lightweight perimeter dampers actually increase vibration absorption the faster you ride while maintaining an incredible amount of snap and liveliness, providing a level of edgehold and high speed performance that only a Never Summer snowboard can deliver.

BASE:

Durasurf Sintered 4501 Base - Crown Plastics has been the industry leader in sintered materials for over 36 years and has created the DURASURF 4501 sintered base exclusively for Never Summer. This new high density base is extremely fast and will provide unmatched performance and durability.

CAMBER PROFILE:

Camber Rocker - Designed Exclusively for the Never Summer Ripsaw, the Camber Rocker Profile features amplified camber areas that apply pressure over the ends of the board for incredible edge hold and pop. When the board is disengaged, the extended transition between the camber section and the low profile tip/tail help neutralize the pressure for a forgiving feel, fluid edge to edge response, increased glide, and powder floatation.

EDGE TECH:

Vario Power Grip - Vario Power Grip Sidecut utilizes multiple radiuses creating extra contact points to enhance edge hold. A flat section in the rocker area provides a broad contact point when flexed. However, when unbent, it allows the board to track straight and not catch. Flanking this straight section are two shallow radius which provide the second and third contact points. Towards the end of the sidecut are deep radius which render quick turn initiation and the final contact points.

THE INSIDES:

Carbon VXR Laminate Technology - The Carbon VXR was the first carbon fiber configuration Never Summer designed for their Rocker Camber Boards. Carbon V’s are extended out from the inserts to the effective edge for quick response which stiffen the board torsionally. In Addition, V’s are positioned to the ends of the board providing maximum boost and pop when loaded up. This is an ideal layup to transfer energy to the end of the effective edge, tip/ tail and still give the board a softer more forgiving mid flex for torsional control.

STS Pretensioned Fiberglass - STS ADVANCED FIBERGLASS is a pre-hardened, pre-tensioned, layered laminate that has added elastomer stringers between the 0 degree and 90 degree glass fibers that run the length of the effective edge. This produces a stronger bond between the individual  glass laminates giving Never Summer snowboards unmatched strength, edge hold and performance.

Bi-Lite Fiberglass - BI-LITE fiberglass combines many of the strength characteristics of STS ADVANCED fiberglass with an ultra light glass fiber matrix. This delivers incredible freestyle and freeride performance without sacrificing durability.

Elastomeric Underfoot Stabilizers - Elastomeric Rubber Stabilizers directly below the mounting area provide optimum vibration absorption and increase high speed stability while reducing foot fatigue.

RDS 2 Damping System - This Lightweight system uses three narrower laminated damping layers that provide the perfect combination of vibration, absorption, and stability. RDS 2 is the perfect balance of freeride stability and freestyle liveliness.

THE OUTSIDES:

Low Profile Tip/Tail - A low profile in the nose and tail of the snowboard maximizes material contact with the snow for more powerful ollie/nollie pop and adds stability to your landings. Low Profile Tip/Tail also reduces the plowing effect in the nose for better glide to the next feature and superior float when it’s deep.

Sintered P-tex Sidewall - Unlike conventional ABS sidewalls that have a tendency to crack in colder temperatures, SINTERED P-TEX Sidewalls maintain their integrity at any temperature.
