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.
