About the Never Summer Lady West
The Never Summer Lady West is a powerful & versatile ladies' all-mountain snowboard which features Never Summer's Ripsaw Rocker Camber profile and comes in a female-specific version.
This profile is designed to give an aggressive, vice-like edge hold which is perfect for precision in hard and icy conditions. The underfoot camber blends into the rocker in the rest of the board, giving the rider pop, powder performance, and the same reliable versatility of Never Summer's original rocker camber profile.
Never Summer use their RDS 2 dampening system on the West. This system has three narrow, yet technical, damping layers which absorb vibration and shock. This stops it from echoing through the board, allowing the rider to control the board with ease, even in tricky terrain.
This snowboard comes with Vario Power Grip Sidecut, which is essentially a straight section between the bindings, a shallow radius section under the feet and a deep radius section on the contact points.
The Vario Power Grip Sidecut gives riders quicker turn initiation and better edge hold by creating more contact points along the edge. In turn, the Power Grip sidecut prevents edge wash-outs and allows you to keep control in icy and windblown conditions.
The West boards all feature a Carbonium Topsheet. This top sheet is highly durable and features a carbon fibre texture, therefore the board's graphics will stay fresh. The top sheet also provides grip, reducing the need for an extra stomp pad.
The West comes with a Super-Light Wood core which is reinforced by composites, resulting in a board that is strong, yet still lively and fun. The core supports a medium flex combined with the Ripsaw Rocker Camber profile making this board ideal for intermediate to advanced riders looking to blast a piste, slash some powder or catch some air.
