New for 2013/14 is the Extended Transition Rocker Camber Profile which has been developed specifically for the Proto. The result is enhanced float & glide with effortless edge-to-edge transitions. The Blunted True-Twin Shape & new Low Profile Tip & Tail improve the freestyle capabilities of this board by increasing the effective edge & maximising base contact right to the tip & tail. The Proto HD & HDX are true all terrain boards that span park & pipe, Jib, freeride & big mountain. Note: the HDX is a wider version on the HD. Specification: Profile: Extended Transition Rocker Camber Running length: 125 Waist
Width: 26.4 Sidecut radius: Vario 735 – Multiple radius average Setback: Centred Flex (1 soft, 10 stiff): 5 (Specification based on the 158cm board) Note: Base graphic colours may vary
Features: Like the Original RC Profile (featured on the SL) the Extended Transition Rocker Camber Profile provides the best of both profiles in one. The difference with the Extended Transition version is a longer transition area at the end of the effective edge to the nose & tail. This decreases the amount of pressure in that area allowing for free-flowing edge transfer whilst still providing solid edge hold when the camber is engaged. The durable, scratch & chip resistant Carbonium Topsheet gives the board a premium look to match its build quality. Not only will it look better for longer but it is grippier than a gloss topsheet due to its texture, so it acts as a built in topsheet too. Strategically placed Carbonium Laminate Technology in the top & base of board drastically increases power & performance. This lightweight design will keep these boards riding for years to come. Alongside their patented R.C. (Rocker & Camber) profiles, Never Summer has developed their Vario Power Grip Sidecut. This specific sidecut geometry combats the lack of stability & edge hold which is often a side effect of more traditional rocker profiles. The Low Profile Tip/ Tail Damper maximises the amount of base material in contact with the snow. This helps you to ollie & nollie higher & add stability to landings whilst also providing more float when in deep snow. STS Pre-tensioned Fibreglass is a pre-hardened, layered laminate with added elastomer stringers. This advanced fibreglass provides unmatched strength & performance. Bi-Lite Fibreglass has many of the characteristics of STS Fibreglass with an ultra light glass fibre matrix. Taking the Custom Flightcore & making it even lighter, the NS Superlight Wood Core has been developed especially for the new Carbonium Series. Harmonic Tip/ Tail Dampers reduce the amount of vibration at the nose & tail without affecting the liveliness & a pop of the cambered areas Designed specifically for the Carbonium Series, the CDS Dampening System provides unmatched stability & control at high speeds. Thin elastomeric rubber stringers reduce vibration from the edge & stringers below the inserts & Elastomeric Underfoot Stabilizers are placed directly below the mounting area in order to increase vibration absorption & high speed performance while also reducing fatigue.
