Never Summer Raptor X Snowboard - Wide - 2011
You already have the balls and brains to take on the gnarliest lines, but you need a board wide enough for your feet and bad-ass enough for your skills. Ride the steep lines you crave and send it off those big drops you attack on the Never Summer Raptor X Snowboard and you'll truly be at the next level. With added dampening, extra pop, and a profile that enhances float without sacrificing stability at speed, the Raptor X is the precise killing-machine you need to do more than just ride the mountain.
- R.C. (rocker and camber) technology provides the smooth turns and float of rocker (middle) with stability and pop of camber (outside of binding mounts)
- Never Summer SuperLight wood core blends stiff hardwood, flexible softwood, and layers of elastomeric vibration dampeners for all-mountain versatility
- Carbonium Laminate Technology (CLT) under the binding inserts combines dual X-pattern and dual V-pattern strips at the core's base and top for strength
- Bi-Lite fiberglass layer offers strength but delivers forgiving flex
- Highly durable, textured Carbonium topsheet resists damage from hard use
- P-Tex inner and outer sidewalls provide stability and strength
- Full-wrap metal edges and P-Tex tip and tail protection reduce damage from hard objects
Bottom Line: Seek and destroy.
Leave your mark on The Wall.

Wow, finally we get some snow in Switzerland and I could test my raptor x 169. We had about 1 meter until 40 cm of fresh and a bit wet powder. The board managed the condition perfectly with a fantastic smooth riding an excellent control in height speed and also in the trees. Never Summer; great job! I look forward to test the raptor on the groomers...
