About the Never Summer Proto Slinger
The Proto Slinger is Never Summer's asymmetrical freestyle snowboard, featuring a soft, playful flex. By combining the best elements of the Funslinger with the all-mountain powerhouse Proto, Never Summer has crafted an evolution in freestyle/all-mountain dominance!
The Proto Slinger boasts the Shock Wave Rocker Camber profile, packing a powerful punch. The smaller rocker between the feet enhances powder floatation and facilitates quick turns, while the longer camber areas deliver substantial pop. Never Summer has engineered the ultimate versatile profile for conquering all aspects of the mountain.
With low-profile tips and increased press contact for improved stability, the Proto Slinger excels across a wide range of terrains. The built-in FDS Damping System, specially designed for freestyling, employs a thin rubber foil to absorb chatter, ensuring a smoother and snappier ride.
Featuring the Vario Power Grip Sidecut, the Proto Slinger provides the control necessary for your speed. Its design includes a straight section between the bindings, a shallow radius section under the feet, and a deep radius section on the contact points, enabling quick turn initiation and enhanced edge hold.
Don't overlook the snowboard's excellent asymmetrical shape. A deeper sidecut on the heel edge compensates for decreased leverage in heelside turns, providing a heel side experience akin to a toe side one!
Packed with an impressive array of technology, the Proto Slinger stands out as a one-of-a-kind freestyle board that feels right at home wherever you ride. With exceptional edge hold and quick turning at any speed, the Proto Slinger will leave you grinning from ear to ear!
All Never Summer snowboards are handcrafted in Denver, Colorado, and infused with a massive amount of love. Stand out from the crowd and ride a proper snowboard - Ride a Never Summer!
