Take aim at your favorite lines and prepare to experience them in a whole new way on the Never Summer Harpoon Snowboard. This volume shifted deck is designed to be ridden a little shorter than usual for incredibly nimble performance that doesn't sacrifice an ounce of float when the snow started flying. Combined with a tapered tail, mid fat waist, and big wide nose, the Harpoon becomes the weapon of choice for your all terrain freeride shenanigans.
Rocker Type - Fusion Rocker Camber – Fusion RC puts the edge gripping hold, snap out of turns, and huge pop of Ripsaw RC in the back, and combines it with the float and surfy feel of Original RC in the front. Fusion is here to bring back the fun and fluidity that will make snowboarding dynamic again.
Extended Transition Area – Never Summer adds a small flat section in the snowboard profile that improves both turn initiation and powder flotation.
Early Rise Nose
Flex Rating – 5/10
Dampness Rating – 5/10
A mid flex that is stable at speed, but still has a fun surfy feel to it.
Shape - Vario Power Grip Sidecut – Vario Power Grip Sidecut utilizes multiple radiuses creating extra contact points to enhance edge hold. A flat section in the rocker area provides a broad contact point when flexed, however when unbent allows the board to track straight and not catch. Flanking this straight section are two shallow radii which provide the second and third contact points. Towards the ends of the sidecut are deep radius which renders quick turn initiation and the final contact points.
Core - NS Superlight Wood Core – Never Summer uses a custom blend of wood species that was created to be the lightest weight yet durable core on the market. The NS Superlight Wood Core is CNC sanded in the custom wood working facility to a fraction of a millimeter. A tailored flex is perfected, giving their snowboards unequaled performance.
Laminates - Carbon Max Laminate Technology – More carbon equals more power and performance. The Carbon Max Laminate Technology combines an advanced top and bottom carbon matrix to maximize response and strength where it's needed most. The result is a lightweight yet powerful configuration that provides torsional rigidity and energy transfer without sacrificing the control a rider needs.
Sidewalls - Sintered P-Tex Sidewalls – Never Summer was the first snowboard company to use and perfect Sintered P-Tex Sidewalls, and they've never seen one crack. Unlike conventional ABS sidewalls that have a tendency to crack in colder temperatures, Sintered P-Tex Sidewalls maintain their integrity at any temperature.
Base - Durasurf XT Sintered 5501 Base – Crown Plastics has developed an exclusive, super fast, durable sintered base specifically for higher end boards. Just the right amount of graphite has been added making the Durasurf XT Sintered 5501 Base the fastest Never Summer has ever used.
Topsheet - Premium Coextruded Polymer Topsheet – The Premium Topsheet is a durable, lightweight, scratch and chip resistant fiber backed thermoplastic. The premium topsheets also provide more grip than other topsheet materials, working as a built-in stomp pad.
Edges - Full Wrap Metal Edge
Additional Features - P-Tex Tip/Tail Protection – Boards with P-Tex Tip/Tail Protection have UHMW plastic, or P-Tex which is a softer molecular material that not only seals and protects the wood core, but also absorbs vibration and impact.

Highlights
The Harpoon by Never Summer is a directional volume board in a class of its own. It utilizes the Fusion Rocker Camber technology and is built with a slight taper for added lift in powder conditions. The mid-wide size is great for a larger rider; with zero loss in performance, this thing is nimble and amazingly smooth. It’s sure to perform better than anything else you’ve ever ridden. Overall, this is a phenomenal all mountain board that excels in powder conditions and leaves nothing to be desired for that rider who wants to charge like no other.
