Proto Synthesis Snowboard - USED

The Never Summer Proto Synthesis Snowboard is a high-performance all-mountain freestyle board built for riders who want one snowboard capable of carving groomers, hitting jumps, riding switch, and exploring the entire mountain. Its True Twin shape, Shock Wave Rocker Camber profile, and medium 6/10 flex create a balanced ride that combines powerful edge control and pop with the maneuverability and forgiveness of rocker.

Carbon reinforcement and Never Summer's damping technology give the Proto Synthesis a lively but smooth feel, making it an excellent choice for intermediate through advanced riders who want freestyle versatility without sacrificing all-mountain performance.

Performance

The Proto Synthesis is a true all-mountain freestyle board. Its hybrid profile places rocker between the feet for maneuverability while extending camber toward the tip and tail to generate significantly more energy, edge hold, and stability.

That combination makes the board especially fun for riders who view the entire mountain as a terrain park. It has the pop for jumps and side hits, a True Twin shape for switch riding, and enough stability and edge control to confidently carve groomers.

The medium flex also gives the Proto Synthesis an excellent balance between playful and aggressive. It's supportive enough to ride fast and hit larger features without becoming so stiff that slower-speed freestyle riding becomes difficult.

Who Is It For?

The Proto Synthesis is best suited for intermediate through advanced snowboarders looking for a versatile board that leans toward all-mountain freestyle riding.

It's an especially strong choice for riders who enjoy carving, jumps, switch riding, side hits, and exploring varied resort terrain rather than riders looking specifically for a dedicated powder or beginner board.
