What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I rode this on a powder morning that turned into a few laps through the park on the way back to the lift, and it handled both without feeling out of place in either. The setback stance made floating through the deep stuff feel almost effortless."A board built to raise the benchmark has to perform across the whole mountain, and the Never Summer Benchmark Snowboard does exactly that. Drop into an untouched bowl after a fresh storm, and Blower Stance Binding Inserts push your stance back for a surfier feel, letting the nose rise and the tail sink so powder turns feel weightless instead of like a fight against the snow. That same board carves clean corduroy on the way back to the lift and still has enough playfulness left for a park hit or two. Rocker Camber profile blends a surfy, forgiving feel with camber underfoot for real edge hold, while the Powersurf Wood Core keeps things light without sacrificing strength. Carbon Max laminate and STS pre-tensioned fiberglass add torsional stability at speed, and UHMW sidewalls with P-TEX protected tips keep the board intact through whatever terrain the day throws at it.
