EachNever Summer snowboard has a unique serial number printed in the topsheet. The serial number depicts which model, size, year, and board number of each snowboard crafted. You can find the serial number on the topsheet, between the bindings, near the edge of the board, on the left hand side. This number is important in keeping track of your new snowboard. Make sure to register your snowboard by the serial number to ensure the three year warranty that comes with the board.

Yes, having our own factory enables us to do minor or major repairs on products built at the Never Summer factory. We can go beyond what a typical ski or snowboard shop can do and complete the repairs at a fair price. Our technician is one of the best in the world with over 20+ years of experience. We also offer full service tuning, just another benefit of purchasing a Never Summer Snowboard.
All Never Summer snowboards are not beveled with our factory finish tune. They have a flat grind or 0/90 degree grind. There is a 0 degree grind on a side edge, and the base edge will be ground flat with the base grind. In our opinion, if you have a smooth, sharp edge on a snowboard, where all your weight is on one edge, it will hold and dig in. Beveling is probably more important in skiing where you have less weight on each edge. Most shops will not have a machine that would do a base bevel. But if you do want a bevel, we only recommend a 0.5 degree base bevel and 1 degree side edge bevel.
We currently ship online orders only to locations within the United States. If you are interested in purchasing product outside of the US, please take a look at our international distributors, found here.
A match forged in hell, the Nitro Beast snowboard and Team binding feature original art from the 1982 album cover, The Number of the Beast, and an exclusive metal bade calling out each individual Number of the Beast. Only 666 sets of this unique collection have been created in true Iron Maiden style.
When you combine the energy of a limited Iron Maiden graphic on the worlds most progressive freestyle snowboard and binding, the result is a snowboard that will allow any beast to take their progression to new heights. This Twin-Shaped, Tre Cambered freestyle mastery offers the support and precision needed for world-class music and tricks, while the Sintered Speed Formula II Base keeps you hauling ass while listening to Maiden all day long! The Nitro x Iron Maiden Beast snowboard and Team binding were built to provide the best support, stability, pro-caliber performance, and durability to take you through hell and back!
Trüe Camber is good old standard camber, which provides the stability, and pop many shreds can ́t live without. The amount of snap and support you get from a cambered board is unrivalled by any other camber design. Our Trüe Camber varies between board models because each board is specifically designed for a certain terrain or type of riding, for example the Trüe Camber in our Pantera has a larger height for maximum response, while the Trüe Camber in our freestyle boards are lower to provide you with a more freestyle friendly flex, without losing the support and trust you need for stomping landings. Camber is Camber there is no point in over complicating it!
New on all Nitro park boards, we are introducing our URESHRED sidewall: Just like Skate wheels and bushings, these sidewalls are made from Polyurethane, which makes them highly resistant against impact and abrasion as well as giving them excellent dampening characteris- tics. Together with our exclusive Railkiller Edges, our URESHRED sidewalls provide the ultimate package of edge durability and feel.
Kevlar is used in bulletproof vests and body armor to protect your core. We use it in strategic places around the binding-to-board interface to protect the construction from impacts during hard landings.
Rocket science put to work! A nanotech wax formula deeply infused into our sintered base material makes the base surface lightning fast in all snow conditions. Highly tuned yet extremely durable, SPEED FORMULA II Base technology is exclusively featured on Nitro high-end boards.
Together with ClimatePartner we are able to use specific and accurate tools and information to measure our carbon footprint in life cycle from production to end life of our snowboards. Our partnership with ClimatePartner allows us to strive to find more effecient ways to improve and reduce our carbon footprint every step of our products lifecycle, and also allows us to offset our current carbon footprint to make our snowboards and bindings 100% Carbon Neutral by investing into climate change projects and solutions. Reducing, rethinking, and compensating for CO2 emissions is just the start.
How do you pick the correct snowboard length? The length of your snowboard will vary depending on your body weight and the type of riding you plan to do. Back in the day, traditional snowboard sizing meant you stand next to the snowboard and if the top hits your chin, great, it fits! While that may be a good place to start, things like ability level, weight, and construction of the board are also important factors in determining the appropriate board length.
Snowboard boot sizes vary by manufacturer and even by model within a single manufacturer's line, so the outer sole of manufacturer A's size 11 might be slightly longer than the outer sole of manufacturer B's size 11. Similarly, some boots are specifically built with a low profile. The shorter outsoles of a low profile boot allow a rider to ride a narrower snowboard. Additionally, the ramp angle on snowboard bindings partially determines how large of a boot you can put on a particular snowboard - more ramp angle means a boot will sit higher and fit on a narrower board.
What type of terrain will you be riding in? What is your ability level? What is your own personal preference? While you can ride any type of snowboard on any terrain, many boards are designed for you to get the most out of your session. It's easy to get lost in the plethora of options, so checking out this basic breakdown of board styles will help you find a board that works for you.
Freestyle or park snowboards tend to be a bit shorter in length and love terrain parks, rails, jibs, trash cans, tree trunks, riding switch (non-dominant foot forward), wall rides and more. Freestyle boards often feature a true twin or asymmetrical shape, and are typically selected by those looking to ride the terrain park. A more versatile variant of a freestyle board is the all-mountain freestyle, which combines the versatility of an all mountain snowboard with the playfulness of a freestyle snowboard.
Freeride snowboards are designed for the rider who spends most of their time off groomed runs and in varied terrain. They typically have a stiffer flex and are ridden in longer sizes than freestyle snowboards. Freeride snowboards often feature a directional shape that is designed to perform optimally in one direction.
Powder snowboards live for the deep stuff. They're designed to make the most of fresh conditions and usually have a wider nose and a tapered narrower tail. The binding inserts, which determine the rider's stance, are often set back on a powder snowboard, for flotation and steering with your back foot. Powder snowboards often feature generous rocker, a design element where the tip (and tail) rise starts farther back on the board, which also helps the rider float and pivot easily.
Designed for the backcountry rider, splitboards break down into two separate halves for uphill travel with climbing skins. Special bindings are required as well. Once you've reached the top, you reconnect the two halves for the ride downhill and ride normally. Appropriate avalanche safety skills and equipment plus knowledge of the terrain, weather and snow conditions are key when you head out on your splitboard.
What is your ability level? There are snowboards designed for every ability level, each addressing specific rider needs. Flex, shape, length, construction, materials, design, and intended use are all important when crafting a snowboard for a particular ability level. Be realistic in assessing your own ability when researching and selecting a new snowboard. Finding the right snowboard for your personal attributes, including your ability will help make your riding experience more enjoyable and help speed your progression.
There are many shapes floating around the snowboard world these days. While some snowboards will work nearly anywhere, there are a variety of shapes that are dialed in for making the most out of specific conditions. Check out our snowboard shape guide for more information!
