Proto Type 3: the all-mountain twin built to ride everything
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
“Balanced, powerful, and predictable—this board delivers everywhere on the mountain.”
The Proto Type 3 continues the legacy of Never Summer’s all-mountain dominance, taking inspiration from the iconic Type 2 and elevating it with next-gen carbon innovation. With a perfectly balanced flex and damp rating of 6/10, this true twin offers equal parts power and play, delivering confidence whether you’re laying down fast carves, charging through pow, or sending park laps.
The Triple Camber Recurve profile with R.I.P. Edge-Hold Technology keeps the board lively underfoot, providing explosive pop and confident edge hold without feeling locked in. A Precision Stitched Carbon Matrix paired with T3 Twin Carbon Mapping Embossment spreads energy evenly through the board for unmatched stability, response, and rebound. Add in Blower Stance inserts for deeper snow versatility, and the Proto Type 3 emerges as the ultimate quiver-of-one twin for riders who want it all.
