Description

Why We Like The Never Summer Swift Splitboard

Get ready for an exhilarating backcountry adventure with the Never Summer Swift Splitboard. Designed with a retro-inspired shape, this board is perfect for those epic powder days. The tapered swallowtail shape ensures that the rear sinks while keeping the dramatic nose up and effortlessly gliding through deep snow.

The Swift features the innovative Fusion Camber design, combining rocker between the bindings for excellent float in pow, along with camber underfoot for optimal edge hold and power in less-than-perfect conditions. The board also boasts aluminum tip and tail protectors, as well as a durable Durasurf XT 5501 base that's resistant to scratches and dings. With added graphite, this base allows for smooth gliding over sticky spring snow and deep, dry powder.

Here are some key details about the Never Summer Swift Splitboard:

  • Pow-chasing splitboard built for legendary deep days
  • Large rockered nose for exceptional float and camber underfoot for reliable grip
  • Medium-stiff flex provides a responsive and powerful feel
  • Carbon max laminate enhances edge-to-edge power transfer
  • RDS 1+ system dampens vibrations for a smoother ride
  • Sintered base is fast and highly durable
  • Carbonium topsheet resists chips and enhances traction
  • Never Summer boards are known for their legendary toughness and proudly made in the USA
