Expert reviews 1
The Never Summer Valhalla is a forgiving, approachable directional freeride board. It shows its strength in powder and highly variable snow, prioritising float, stability and ease of turning. Aggressive carving and pop don't reach the level of a stiff camber board.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid rocker
A complex hybrid rocker running from a very small camber between the bindings into rocker, then through mellow camber into rocker just before the nose.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A medium-stiff flex at 7 out of 10. It's forgiving while pressing down stably on variable snow.
Where it shines
