What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I had this out on a day when the wind picked up and half the mountain called it early. My legs were shot by run six, but the board never felt sketchy or hard to control even when I was riding sloppy."Not every day on the mountain goes according to plan, and the Never Summer Trooper Snowboard is built for the ones that don't. Maybe the forecast turns, maybe the legs give out before the lifts close, maybe a friend who's never ridden before tags along and needs a board that won't punish mistakes. The Trooper handles all three without asking you to compromise. A mid flex directional twin shape gives new riders room to find their footing while still rewarding a more aggressive push from someone who knows what they're doing. Hybrid Triple Camber keeps the edge locked in when fatigue starts creeping into your legs late in the day, and the NS Superlite Wood Core, CNC sanded to a precise flex, keeps the ride predictable instead of squirrelly. Carbon VXR laminate adds pop where it counts without stiffening the whole board, and UHMW sidewalls with P-TEX tips shrug off the abuse that comes with actually using a board hard, run after run, season after season.
