Its 13mm taper and 1½-inch setback create a directional ride that feels stable at speed while remaining agile through technical terrain. Designed to deliver exceptional versatility with a responsive yet approachable feel, the Nokhu is ready for everything from first chair to last lap. Riders with larger boots or those who prefer an ultra-wide platform can step up to the Nokhu Drag Free, which offers the same construction and ride characteristics in Never Summer's dedicated ultra-wide design.

Flex
- 5/10 (Medium) – Balanced flex offers stability at speed while remaining maneuverable enough for technical descents, trees, and mixed terrain.
Shape
- Directional Volume Shape – A volume-shifted directional build providing maximum float in deep snow, increased stability at speed, and effortless drive through turns.
Sidecut
- Power Grip Sidecut – Multi-radius sidecut with five distinct contact points that provide aggressive edge hold on firm snow and smooth transitions when carving at speed.

Core
- PowerSurf Wood Core – Engineered with strategic hardwood and lightweight wood blends for enhanced power, stability, and durability while maintaining an energetic ride feel.

Laminates
- Carbon Max Laminate Technology – A carbon matrix running tip-to-tail and edge-to-edge increases torsional rigidity, pop, and precision across steep or technical terrain.
