What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "The Benchmark earns its name—it floats like a dream in powder yet feels locked-in on groomers. A board you’ll want on every type of day."The Never Summer Benchmark Snowboard is built to thrive across the entire mountain, no matter what the day delivers. With a directional twin shape and Rocker Camber profile, it balances effortless float in deep snow with edge security on hardpack and groomed lines. Its Carbon Max Laminate and PowerSurf Wood Core create a responsive, damp ride that blends stability with energy return, while Early Rise Float Mechanics lift the nose for smoother transitions in powder and choppy terrain. Add in the Power Grip Sidecut for precision carving, and you’ve got a board that keeps things fun and controlled from the first chair to the last lap. Whether you’re chasing fresh bowls, arcing turns at speed, or mixing in freestyle flow, the Benchmark stands as the ultimate do-it-all tool.
