2027 Never Summer Proto T3 Eclipse Snowboard

A favorite around the Never Summer factory, the Proto T3 Eclipse is made for the rider who rides everything but prefers a directional feel underfoot. It draws from the brand's roots while pushing forward into newer construction, and it rides with the kind of easy confidence that makes long days feel short. The cambered profile gives it pop and reliable edge hold, while a touch of taper and setback lets the nose float and the board drive forward. It is a versatile all-mountain board for riders who want directional flow without giving up everyday playfulness.

Why we like it:

The cambered profile brings the pop, grip, and stability Never Summer built its name on. A directional setback and early-rise nose give it surfy float and forward drive that a straight twin can't match.

Who it's for:

Solid intermediate up to advanced riders who like a directional feel but still want to ride the whole mountain. Riders drawn to clean lines and a settled, confident ride will enjoy it.

Highlights:

The Eclipse runs a Triple Camber Recurve profile and R.I.P. edge-hold grip, so it pops off its edges and holds a line through chop and crud. A measured taper and setback work together with a rockered nose to maximize float when the snow piles up. Never Summer builds it on a PowerSurf wood core and drives it with a T3 Directional carbon matrix and fiber mapping. Handcrafted in Colorado, it pairs a classic aesthetic with thoroughly modern performance.

Things to consider:

The directional setback that gives it such nice flow makes it less natural for riders who spend serious time switch or in the park. Its mid-flex is versatile rather than ultra-stiff, so the hardest chargers may want more backbone.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Go with your usual length for a directional all-mountain ride. Sizing up adds float and stability if you favor speed and soft snow, while staying true to size keeps it nimble for tighter terrain and groomer carving.
