As its name suggests, the Never Summer West X Wide Snowboard is a product of its Colorado environment, performing best on high alpine powder laps, fresh tree runs, and snow choked chutes. Providing extra width for bigger riders, the West X offers a stable platform for charging without unwanted toe and heel drag. It's a directional twin with a slightly set back stance, providing a bit more stability and float for making first tracks on powder days and bombing steeps. The West X is built with ultra aggressive Ripsaw Rocker Camber. This profile features accentuated camber zones underfoot for powerful response radiating toward the tip and tail. Translated to on snow performance, you'll immediately notice the near instantaneous response, especially when you're slaloming between trees, negotiating tight chutes, and carving at high speeds. Balancing out the camber's aggressive bite, rocker between the feet retains a floaty feel, helping you plane through deep, untracked snow without submerging. Inside this freeride board, Never Summer shaves serious weight with its SuperLight Wood Core. Designed for Carbonium Series boards, this core uses lighter woods in conjunction more durable hardwoods. The Carbonium topsheet not only looks awesome with its matte like finish, but it resists scratches and chips better than regular topsheet materials. Carbon VXR Laminates radiate from the inserts to the contacts for ultra quick response and stiffer torsional flex. Other key features include RDS 2 Dampening for enhanced vibration absorption, Vario Power Grip sidecut for insane grip across hardpack, and a speedy fast Durasurf Sintered 5501 base.
