The 2026 Never Summer Women's Breezy Rider is the perfect hybrid between a soft park board and a responsive all mountain board. Featuring a soft flex with a reverse camber-dominant hybrid camber profile, giving you easy presses along with explosive pop and all-mountain stability.
Board Type: Freestyle-All Mountain
Freestyle snowboards are built for park riders and those who love performing tricks on jumps, rails, and side hits.
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: 4/10 (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
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.
Shape: Asym Twin
Exactly the same whether you're riding switch or regular, this allows you to push your switch riding and land comfortably regardless of which way you're facing. While the asymmetrical shape gives you a tighter radius on your heel side, making it easier to turn on your heels.
Camber Type: Triple Camber Hybrid with R.I.P. Edge Hold Technology
Triple Camber Hybrid has an overall central rocker shape while featuring a camber zone in between this central rocker, creating two high-pressure rocker sections on each side of a middle camber. Triple Camber Hybrid increases edge efficiency, with the primary edge hold starting at the board’s center. It provides outstanding responsiveness, stability, and complements the high-performance engagement of the two cambered zones beneath your feet. The overall rocker shape preserves effortless float, a playful and forgiving ride, incredible edge hold, explosive pop, and remarkable butterability.
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
Standard width boards deliver exceptional edge-to-edge quickness and responsiveness while providing enough platform space for riders with average boot sizes.
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, Carbon VXR Laminate
Bi-Lite Fiberglass is a lightweight glass fiber matrix, offering outstanding freestyle and freeride performance without compromising durability.
Carbon VXR uses carbon fiber V’s extending from the inserts to the effective edge, enhancing response and stiffening the board torsionally. These V’s start at the binding zones and engage the edge for quick reaction, while also extending to the board's tips for added boost and pop. This design transfers energy to the tip and tail while maintaining a softer, more forgiving mid-flex for improved torsional control.
Core: AllPop Wood Core with Flex Press Taper, Triple Layer RDS 2 Damping with Underfoot Stabiliser, Harmonic Damping Tip/Tail Protection
The AllPop Wood Core features lightweight Poplar wood throughout, offering a responsive and even flex from nose to tail. This strong, impact-resistant wood enhances energy transfer, delivering both durability and a smooth, controlled ride. Its natural ability to absorb vibrations results in a stable and comfortable experience on the mountain.
Press Flex Taper is designed with a custom CNC-sanded wood core profile that creates two distinct flex zones between the bindings. These zones allow for torsional flex, giving riders enhanced control and responsiveness. Engineered for smooth response at slower speeds, it provides a playful feel ideal for buttering, pressing, and jibbing. These flex points help lock in presses and flat-ground tricks, making the Press Flex Taper the ultimate choice for freestyle performance.
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.
Harmonic Dampers in the tip and tail significantly reduce residual vibrations, keeping the nose and tail stable. This improves control at high speeds, through variable snow conditions, and on landings—all while preserving the board’s lively feel and maintaining the energetic pop of the cambered zones.
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.
