New 2026 Never Summer Trooper snowboard; Size: 157 cm

The new Trooper is the all-mountain equalizer and fills an important hole in our line. Now there’s a mid-flex Triple Camber Directional Twin with R.I.P. Edge-Hold Technology. One board that does it all exceptionally well. Excellent for riders of all skill levels. The Trooper is precise, playful and powerful. The Never Summer Trooper (new for the 2025/2026 season) is a mid-flex, all-mountain directional twin that replaces the long-standing Snowtrooper in Never Summer's lineup. It is designed as a versatile "one-board quiver" suitable for riders of all skill levels, from high-end beginners to advanced riders. Key Performance Features Triple Camber Hybrid Profile: This innovative profile features three cambered zones—one between the feet and two near the tips—separated by subtle rocker areas. According to Never Summer Industries, this provides powerful edge engagement and "R.I.P. Edge-Hold Technology" for icy conditions without the typical drag of serrated edges. Mid-Flex & Dampening: Rated with a flex of 6 and a dampening of 5, the board balances energy with ride comfort. It utilizes the RDS 2 Damping System to smooth out chatter and improve comfort. Carbon VXR Laminate Technology: Carbon "V" inserts extend from the bindings to the effective edge, providing quick response and maximum boost when loading up for pops. Enhanced Carving: Reviewers from Run 1 noted that while the board is rocker-dominant, the extra camber pockets provide a smooth carving experience, especially as conditions soften.
