2027 Never Summer Proto Swift DT Snowboard
The 2027 Never Summer Proto Swift DT is a new directional all-mountain snowboard built for riders who want the precision of a freeride board without giving up the versatility to explore the entire mountain. New for 2027, it combines Never Summer's Triple Camber Recurve profile with a Directional Twin shape, 5mm taper, and 1½-inch setback to deliver powerful edge hold, energetic response, and smooth float when conditions soften. The medium flex keeps the ride approachable while providing the stability and confidence needed for carving groomers, charging natural terrain, and venturing into powder. Built with Never Summer's new Swift construction, the Proto Swift DT offers premium materials, quick response, and a balanced ride that feels equally at home on technical lines or everyday resort laps.
