Never Summer SL Review
Never Summer SL

The new Never Summer SL floats effortlessly through powder and chunder snow. I felt like I was flying at times as the board always wanted to stay atop the snow. Powder junkies will love the Rocker-Camber technology. This is the perfect board to ride at your local resort as you can hit some rails, ride powder and take a lap through the pipe all on the impressive Never Summer SL.

Never Summer snowboards have become much lighter over the years. The SL still has a little more weight then the competition, however these boards will stand the test of time.. We used to joke that Never Summer boards were bullet proof.

Get your JIB on, the SL is perfect for ripping around the mountain and bonking off everything in your path, a soft flex make buttering smooth and easy. Your style points will go up when riding the SL.

The Never Summer SL, rolls from edge to edge with easy, the Rocker – Camber R.C. Technology really makes the board fun to ride. It feels like the board’s turning is done under your feet, leaving the tip and tail free to roam.

The board works amazing in untracked powder, you just float on top of the snow. Landing spins in the pow, this board held its own. One thing that took getting used to was the Rocker-Camber technology, at time the board was hard to keep flat, like while standing in the lift line. So be prepared to get used to getting on and off the lift again. :) Was sort of fun and humbling at the same time.

This board is loaded with pop and ready to send ya spinning, get ready to take your riding to the next level!

The Never Summer SL, rides great both directions. You cant even tell a difference when riding switch, the board is a butter machine.

Overall Impression:
The SL has been one of the best sellers in the Never Summer line of snowboards for many years. The board is easy to jump on, head to the hill and improve your riding overnight. For park riders and young jibers this board was made for you. It wants to spin, butter and play on all the features the mountain has to offer look no further. For untracked pow riders in the back country this board will make you wonder if your board is still attached to your feet, it feels effortless in the pow, floats you to the top with easy. The board is great for anyone spending time riding in and out of the back country at your local resort.
