2025 Never Summer Proto FR Snowboard
The Proto FR from Never Summer is a hard-charging directional all-mountain board built for aggressive riders who don't want to sacrifice stability. The triple camber profile gives this board exceptional edge hold while still being easy enough to maneuver through tighter situations and a directional shape that provides plenty of float when you need it.
Why we like it:
The stiff and responsive flex on the Proto FR combined with the triple camber profile gives this board great stability and edge hold for even the most aggressive riders. Great for railing turns on hard packed groomers at high speeds without fear of washing or getting deflected. This board is no slouch in deep snow either with its set back stance and directional shape.
Who it's for:
The Proto FR is ideal for intermediate to advanced riders who are looking to charge down the mountain. Great for carving hard packed east coast groomers and provides plenty of float for west coast powder days. If you are looking for a one board quiver to cover any conditions or terrain, then this board has got you covered.
Highlights:
The Triple Camber Profile on the Proto FR combines 3 camber sections with rocker in between to provide the stability you need on-trail with the maneuverability you need off-trail. Vario Power Grip Sidecut gives you extra contact points when on edge but is catch free when riding flat. A Carbon Max Laminate provides the energy and power you need at high speeds without sacrificing weight or durability.
Things to consider:
The stiffer flex on the Proto FR provides plenty of stability and edge hold for more aggressive riders but can be harder to maneuver at slower speeds for more entry level riders. The directional shape and taper in the tail make this board excel in deep snow but can make it harder to ride or land switch.
Fit & sizing considerations:
The Proto FR rides true to size but can be downsized for more maneuverability with the stiffer flex.
