The 2026 Never Summer Men's Proto T3 Ultra was the original prototype for the award-winning Triple Camber Recurve Profile, evolving Triple Camber Hybrid into a powerful camber-dominant design. It seamlessly blends Freestyle and Freeride performance and is Olympian Chris Corning’s board of choice on the world’s biggest stages.
Featuring a performance-driven Triple Camber Recurve Profile, R.I.P. Edge-Hold Technology, and the new Precision Stitched Carbon Matrix, the Proto T3 Ultra is the most technologically advanced true twin snowboard on the market. Its 3D T3 Twin Carbon Mapping Embossment reflects the board’s signature carbon fiber construction, delivering superior edge hold, quicker response, and easier release compared to traditional camber profiles, all while maintaining explosive pop and unmatched power in and out of turns.
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: 7/10 (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: Twin
A twin-shaped snowboard is symmetrical with an identical tip and tail, designed for equal performance riding forward or switch. It’s perfect for freestyle tricks, spins, and jumps, offering balance, stability, and control in both directions.
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: Mid-Wide
Mid-wide boards offer slightly increased width, reducing toe and heel drag, enhancing flotation, and boosting confidence when leaning into powerful carves.
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 with T3 Twin Carbon Mapping Embossment
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.
This topsheet is embossed with the pattern of the carbon mapped on the core of the snowboard. Twin Carbon Mapping Embossment has the carbon pattern on the nose and tail of the topsheet.
Laminate: Bi-Lite Fiberglass, 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.
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: WooBoo Wood Core, Triple Layer RDS 1 Damping with Underfoot Stabiliser
The WooBoo Wood Core is crafted from a blend of Bamboo stringers, Paulownia, Poplar, and Birch. Bamboo stringers offer exceptional strength while reducing vibration and enhancing responsiveness. Paulownia, a fast-growing hardwood, along with sustainably sourced Bamboo, helps keep the core lightweight. Poplar and Birch are incorporated for an optimal strength-to-weight ratio, with Birch strategically placed beneath the mounting inserts for a secure, stable connection. This carefully engineered combination delivers a lightweight yet powerful feel underfoot.
RDS 1 features the most extensive laminated damping layers in the lineup. By incorporating a significant amount of elastomeric rubber along the effective edge, it delivers exceptional vibration absorption and enhances edge grip ensuring outstanding stability at high speeds.
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.
