Never Summer Proto Swift DT Men's Snowboard 2027

The Never Summer Mens Proto Swift DT is built for riders who want one board that can charge through any obstacle the mountain throws at them without compromise. Its Triple Camber Recurve profile delivers powerful turns, dependable edge grip, rock solid stability, and next level pop. The added Early Rise Float Mechanics keep the nose raised effortlessly while floating through powder and carbon mapping and the Precision Stitched Carbon Matrix add a lively, responsive feel that amplifies pop without sacrificing control. Finished with durable aluminium nose and tail protectors, signature Swift styling, and a Blower Stance that enhances float and manoeuvrability, the Proto Swift DT is a versatile freeride weapon ready to carve groomers, slash side hits, and chase deep lines all in the same day.

Board Type: All Mountain

All Mountain snowboards are versatile boards that excel across various terrains, from groomed runs to off-piste. These boards offer solid edge control and responsiveness, making them a great option for riders who want one board to do just about everything.

Flex: 5/10 (1=soft, 10=stiff)

Offering a balanced blend of flexibility and stiffness, mid-flex boards are versatile and suitable for all-mountain riding. They provide enough responsiveness for carving while maintaining some forgiveness for playful or casual riding.

Ability Level: Intermediate-Advanced

Intermediate snowboards offer more responsiveness and stability at higher speeds, with a slightly stiffer flex for better control on varied terrain and more advanced manoeuvres.

Advanced snowboards are stiffer and more responsive, designed for high-speed control, precision riding, and handling challenging terrain or tricks.

Shape: Directional Twin

A true twin with a setback stance, this board will ride the same regular or switch but has a stance reference point closer to the tail for better forward facing performance.

Camber Type: Triple Camber Recurve with R.I.P. Edge Hold Technology

Triple Camber Recurve blends Triple Camber with a traditional camber arch, this profile creates an overall cambered shape which is incredibly dynamic and powerful and excels across all mountain terrain, performing exceptionally in various snow conditions.

R.I.P. Edge Hold Technology offers unmatched versatility, providing effortless glide in powder and response all over the mountain while delivering precision for deep carves. It boosts edge performance for maximum stability and control in any condition, with easy edge tunes. Unlike traditional serrated edges, R.I.P. integrates waves into the base, creating high-pressure points for smooth, drag-free rides and consistent pressure on edge, ensuring a balanced, confident ride.

Width: Standard, Wide

Standard width boards deliver exceptional edge-to-edge quickness and responsiveness while providing enough platform space for riders with average boot sizes.

Wide boards are for those with large boot sizes and provide extra flotation, reduced drag, and never feel clunky or cumbersome underfoot.

Sidecut: Power Grip Sidecut

The Power Grip Sidecut features a combination of multiple radii to create additional contact points along the edge, improving edge grip. A flat section in the middle area forms a wide contact point when the board is flexed, while allowing it to remain stable and avoid catching when unbent. Two shallow radii on either side of the flat section add extra contact points, while deeper radii near the tips of the board enable quick turn initiation and provide the final contact points.

Inserts: 2x4 Inserts

These offer a tighter hole pattern, allowing for more precise stance adjustments. They're common on modern boards and ideal for riders who want fine-tuned positioning and can be used with any binding with a standard or mini disk.

Board Construction

Topsheet: Co-Extruded Polymer Topsheet

The Co-Extruded Polymer Topsheet is made from a tough, lightweight thermoplastic with a fiber backing, offering resistance to scratches and chips. These topsheets stand out for their vivid colors and enhanced grip, serving as a built-in stomp pad for added control while unstrapped.

Laminate: Bi-Lite Fiberglass, Swift Precision Stitched Carbon Matrix, STS Pre-Tensioned Fiberglass

Bi-Lite Fiberglass is a lightweight glass fiber matrix, offering outstanding freestyle and freeride performance without compromising durability.

Swift Precision Stitched Carbon Matrix is a specific layup of carbon fiber within the core of the board that is precisely stitched and integrated into the snowboard's construction.

STS Pre-Tensioned Fiberglass is a strong, layered material designed for durability and performance. It features elastomer stringers placed between the glass fibers to improve strength and edge hold. This advanced bonding technique makes our snowboards more durable and responsive. Similar fiberglass is also used in bows because of its ability to flex and snap back with great force, launching arrows at high speeds without breaking.

Core: Superlight Wood Core, RDS 2 Damping with Underfoot Stabiliser

The Superlight Wood Core is crafted from a unique combination of Poplar, Paulownia, and Birch and is engineered to provide a lightweight yet sturdy core designed for a universal flex to enhance performance, delivering unmatched handling on the mountain.

RDS 2 strikes the perfect balance between freeride stability and freestyle responsiveness. It provides more damping than a typical freestyle board for better control at high speeds, yet slightly less than a dedicated freeride board to maintain a lively, poppy feel. This design ensures an optimal blend of vibration absorption and energetic performance.

Elastomeric Underfoot Stabilisers are positioned beneath the mounting area to maximise shock and vibration absorption, enhancing stability at high speeds and extra cushioning to minimise foot fatigue for a more comfortable ride.

Sidewall: UHMW Sidewalls

The use of UHMW Sidewalls (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) is essential in preserving the life of your snowboard. Unlike ABS sidewalls, UHMW are more resistant to cracking in colder temperatures. They also improve damping performance around the metal edges, providing a smoother ride.

Edge: Fullwrap Metal Edge

Base: Durasurf XT Sintered 5501 Base

The Durasurf XT Sintered 5501 Base is an exclusive, high performance sintered base and is infused with the ideal amount of graphite, making it one of the fastest and most durable P-Tex bases available on the market.

Additional Features:

• Extended Transition Area
• Early Rise Nose
• P-Tex Nose/Tail Protection
