Components

Never Summer will be using the following quality products on our longboards:

P-TEX UHMW TIP AND TAIL BUMPERS

P-Tex UHMW Tip & Tail Protectors – We pioneered the use of P-tex in the sidewalls of our snowboards for durability and ease of repair. Adding the same proven P-tex tip and tail bumpers provides a level of protection and durability not found in any other longboard on the market.

STS/SK8 Fiberglass

We use our exclusive STS/SK8 fiberglass in each and every one of our skateboards. This pre-hardened, pre-tensioned, layered laminate is the world’s best fiberglass and only Never Summer has it. Our fiberglass maintains the flex pattern of your longboard, keeping it consistent from day one until you need to retire the deck to get one of the future designs.

Carbon Torsion Response

NS uses Carbon stringers placed in strategic locations in our decks, improving torsion response and turning.

VLAC (Vertically Laminated Aspen Core)

Utilizing our in-house wood working facility we manufacture a vertically laminated aspen core for all of our longboards. Borrowing from our proven snowboard core technology, we have adapted our Flight Core characteristics to make NS’s VLAC; a strong, light and solid responsive platform for longboards.

Bi-Lite/SK8

The Bi-Lite/SK8 is a very snappy and light fiberglass that adds strength and response in our longboards.

Hard Rock Maple

Our maple veneers are hard, maple laminates engineered by Great Lakes Veneer for Never Summer to our exact specifications. Quality, thickness and moisture content are the key items here.

Rubber Damping

Rubber Damping is utilized in all of our longboards to absorb vibrations from the trucks to offer a smooth and stable ride and reduce high speed wobbles.

AEND URETHANE

All Never Summer wheels will be manufactured by premier urethane provider Aend Industries. Aend is considered the best wheel manufacturer in longboarding. Our exclusive chemistries will provide the ultimate in grip and durability. Aend Urethane features an abrasion rating of 90/100 and an 85% rebound. All wheels feature a precision bearing press fit core and super high impact polyurethane. Our retro style 72mm wheels are the ideal for high speed grip and performance. They come in a 78a durometer and will hold the road without wearing out or getting flat spots. Never Summer's 64mm wheels come in a 81a.

SKATE TECHNOLOGY

Our abec 5 bearings, manufactured by Skate Technology, are specifically designed to be the best skate bearing ever. The speed and durability of our bearings far exceed any other abec 5 bearing on the market.
