What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I rode this from the first chair on groomed corduroy straight into a backcountry line that hadn't been touched yet. The edge hold stayed confident through both, which made the transition from resort to alpine terrain feel completely seamless."Some lines demand a board that can handle the ride there just as well as the descent itself, and the Never Summer Nokhu Snowboard is built with exactly that range in mind. Push off from the lift onto smooth morning groomers, then keep riding straight into a quiet backcountry bowl, and the directional shape with early rise float mechanics stays composed whether the snow underfoot is packed or untouched. That composure comes from a Hybrid Triple Camber profile that adds a third camber zone for edge hold without the drag of a serrated edge, giving the board a responsive, locked in feel from turn to turn. The Powersurf Wood Core blends lightweight paulownia with poplar and birch for a build that stays strong without adding unnecessary weight, while Carbon Max laminate and an STS pre-tensioned fiberglass layup add torsional strength exactly where high speed stability matters most. UHMW sidewalls and P-TEX protected tips round out a board meant to hold its own no matter how far off the beaten path the day takes you.
