Known to Never Summer as the flagship freeride board, the Proto FR packs nothing short of a serious punch. Designed to offer the best performance on groomers, bowls, trees, and steeps, the directional Proto FR continues to reign supreme. A setback stance, 5mm of taper, and Front End Rise all work in tandem to create the ultimate powder package. Floaty from the nose, powerful from the rear end, and exceptionally maneuverable in deeper snow, this unique blend of attributes gives the Proto FR its legend. A Triple Camber Profile acts as a counter to the Proto FR’s serious float mechanics by giving it unprecedented power and grip when carving. Complete with some pretty advanced dampening technologies and a carbon reinforcement in its core, Never Summer’s Proto FR is not only poppy, snappy, and smooth but ultra-quiet.

Though it requires a lot of work to reach its full potential, the Proto FR gives back all that you put in. Amplified power when carving, enhanced float in deeper snow, and unprecedented versatility without compromise are just the beginning. With a host of performance attributes that elevate the Proto FR beyond the rest, it certainly commands a strong captain at its helm. From advanced riders who dominate the all-mountain scene to expert rippers who hunt cliff drops ‘till dawn, Never Summer’s Proto FR is, perhaps, one of the greatest tools for the job.
