2027 Never Summer Llama Snowboard

Named for longtime Never Summer rider Eric 'The Llama' Segris and wrapped in art from the legendary Jimbo Phillips, the Never Summer Llama is a softer, playful twin built for freestyle riders who roam the whole mountain. Its asymmetrical twin shape matches the way your body actually moves, so heelside turns feel as natural and locked-in as toeside ones. The cambered profile still delivers explosive pop for a board this forgiving, making presses, butters, and spins come easy. It is a creative, fun-first board for riders who treat the entire mountain like a park.

Why we like it:

Triple Camber Recurve gives a soft board surprising amount of pop, while simultaneously providing a smooth, locked in turn, a combo that's not usually found in a board this soft.

Who it's for:

This is for freestyle-minded riders who want a soft, playful, creative board for the whole mountain. It suits intermediate to advanced riders who butter, press, jib, and spin their way down any run.

Highlights:

The asymmetrical twin shape is the heart of the Llama, and gives a locked-in carve in both directions. A Triple Camber Recurve profile gives this soft, forgiving board impresive pop and smooth, confident edge hold, while the NS Superlight wood core with a keeps butters and presses easy. Never Summer adds Bi-Lite and pre-tensioned fiberglass plus Carbon VXR Laminate Technology for snap without stiffness.

Things to consider:

The soft, playful flex that makes it so fun does give up stability and pop at high speed and off the biggest jumps. It is a freestyle-leaning board, so dedicated chargers and big-line freeriders will want something stiffer. It is built for creativity and fun rather than outright power.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Ride your usual size for a playful all-mountain twin, or drop a length if you want an even looser, more buttery feel. Sizing down makes presses and spins easier, while staying true to size adds a bit more stability and a larger platform underfoot.
