The Never Summer Proto FR X Snowboard is a stout, powerful freeride board for those of the big-foot persuasion, with a stiff but not overpowering flex of "8" and loads of carbon fiber in the layup to give the board guts. A WooBoo core with bamboo laminated into the wood provides extra ooomph and durability, and lets this board hold its head high on the burliest of steeps at the highest of speeds.
