All about the Never Summer Shapeshifter
All about the Never Summer Shapeshifter
The Never Summer Shapeshifter is an extremely versatile snowboard that effortlessly switches between different terrains and riding styles thanks to its upgraded nose shape, Fusion Rocker Camber profile, and Blower-Stance.
The Fusion Rocker Camber combines features of the Original Rocker Camber and the Ripsaw Rocker Camber, with the nose and tail bending up more than the OG Rocker Camber but less than the Ripsaw Rocker Camber. This results in a surf-like feel with the contact point with the ground in the middle of the board.
Vario Power Grip Sidecut utilizes multiple radii, providing you with extra edge grip. The flat section in the rocker area becomes one large contact point when flexed, and without pressure, the board will ride straight. The ends of the board have a shorter radius, allowing you to initiate turns more quickly.
Discover the Never Summer Shapeshifter
The Never Summer Shapeshifter is the embodiment of versatility and innovation in the world of snowboarding. This evolutionary step forward, known as the Shapeshifter, features an upgraded nose shape to excel in various terrains, making it an indispensable snowboard for adventurous riders. Whether you're transitioning from powder to trees, linking lines in the snow park, or tackling other challenges, the Shapeshifter can handle it all and is always ready for new adventures.
One of the most striking features of the Shapeshifter is the ability to switch between a central and Blower Stance. The central Stance offers the flexibility to ride both regular and switch, making the board extremely versatile. But on deep powder days, you can move the bindings back to the Blower-Stance, where increased surface area in the nose and a steeper kick provide unparalleled float and control in deep snow. This makes the Shapeshifter a true game-changer in all mountain snowboarding.
Fusion Rocker Camber profile
The Fusion Rocker Camber profile of the Shapeshifter also contributes to its versatility. This profile combines the benefits of rocker and camber, resulting in excellent float in powder, responsive turns, and playfulness in the park. No matter what terrain you choose, the Shapeshifter always delivers the performance and control you need to elevate your skills.
The Shapeshifter is built with attention to detail and high-quality materials to ensure durability. This board is designed to excel in various conditions, from hardpack to deep powder snow, and everything in between. It is an invitation to broaden your riding experience and take on new challenges on the mountain.
In short, the Never Summer Shapeshifter is the ideal companion for snowboarders who value variety and versatility in their riding experience. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, this board will continue to surprise and inspire you to bring out the best in yourself. Grab the Shapeshifter and discover what is possible on the mountain. It's your key to limitless snowboarding fun and adventure.

Vario Power Grip Sidecut uses multiple radii to provide extra edge grip. The flat section in the rocker area becomes one large contact point when you flex it, and without pressure, the board will go straight. The ends of the board have a shorter radius, allowing you to initiate turns more quickly.
The Fusion Rocker Camber is a combination of the Original Rocker Camber and the Ripsaw Rocker Camber. The nose and tail are turned up more than on the OG Rocker Camber, but less than on the Ripsaw Rocker Camber, and the Rocker profile allows the point of contact with the ground to be exactly in the middle of the board. This gives the board a more surfy feel.
