The Never Summer Evo has received a lot of attention over the past season. Firstly, Olympic pipe slayer Greg Zebrowski took an Evo to the Olympics without even being offered a contract with Never Summer. He was so stoked on the product that he was prepared to ride it for free. Secondly (and probably more significantly!), when Snowboard-Review.com took 13 of 2011’s jib snowboards on a test to determine the best jib board of 2011, the Evo was victorious. If you want to ride everything from the most technical rails to the most towering superpipes the Evo should be on your shortlist.

Never Summer claim the SL is their all-mountain, do everything dominator. They’re not wrong. Enough damping to eradicate any of those unwanted vibrations you get when the snow’s hard and crusty, a rocker/camber hybrid profile that makes carving a dream and backcountry riding effortless and a powerful but manageable flex that rewards aggressive riders with great edge hold and plenty of pop. The Never Summer SL is a great snowboard for riders who want to ride everything and anything as long as there’s plenty of carving to be had.

The Never Summer Raptor is one of the most incredible carving snowboards to have ever graced the world of snowboarding. Relatively easy to work into a carve, but as solid on an edge as cambered boardercross boards like the Palmer Crown LE. The Raptor takes hard groomer and off-piste chargers to a new dimension of enjoyment. Better start saving if you want one of these!

For men, the Never Summer SL is the all-mountain snowboard that can literally take on everything you are likely to encounter on the hill. Unfortunately in most cases Women aren’t as heavy, as powerful or as clown footed as their male counterparts, that’s why Never Summer created the Infinity. Damp, poppy and powerful, but a little softer and narrower to fit the needs of female rippers.

For 2011 the Heritage returns after a complete makeover. Now featuring a Carbonium topsheet and Carbonium laminates the Heritage is an absolute beast of a freestyle snowboard. If you want to smoke the pipe, lay down chin touching carves and boost off backcountry booters on one board then the Heritage ticks all of the boxes. I think I speak on behalf of everyone at Snowboard-Review when I say the Eagle graphics are a very stylish addition… although a little 2010 Lib Tech Travis Rice… damn, did I type that?

The Raptor may wear the king of freeriding crown in the Never Summer Kingdom, but the F1 Premier is like an evil Duke plotting away and arming itself with tons of features… one day it will be back on top! Damper than a weekend break in Scotland and stiffer than a pirates plank, the F1 charges hard and needs a strong and aggressive snowboarding god to command it.

In ancient Greek mythology Pandora was the first woman. The Never Summer Pandora might not be the first woman specific snowboard, but pick up an NS Pandora to start your riding career and you might well be the first female rider to stick a 1260 in the pipe or a double cork of a 20m kicker… ‘might’ being the operative word. A women specific snowboard to help beginners and intermediates learn the ropes of freestyle snowboarding and take their riding to the next level.

Take the Evo, add an extra centimeter or two to the width for those unfortunate fellers with boots of size 11 and up, you’ve got the Never Summer Revolver. It’s not rocket science.

For an entry level ride the Never Summer Circuit isn’t exactly lacking on features. Cruise over the flat sections of the mountain thanks to the sintered base; ride out the rutted corduroy and crud with no worries, the rubber dampening and pretensioned fiberglass will deal with that and take your new ride to the park, the RC rocker/camber profile loosens up the Circuit for you.
