25/26 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
The Never Summer V-Twin is a true twin board applying triple camber technology, an all-mountain freestyle board where powder float, strong edge hold and excellent damping stand out. Three camber profiles clashing with each other can produce a hooky, loose feel that takes adaptation time, and turn response and stability fall somewhat short of the same brand's recurve triple camber.
It's a fitting choice for intermediates who want powder performance and forgiving riding in a twin shape.
A closer look
These descriptions and scores are linked to this review. They may differ from manufacturer specifications.
Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Hybrid camber
Triple Camber technology is applied: very mellow, nearly flat camber between the inserts; a transition into rocker just before the inserts followed by mellow camber; and early rise at the tip and tail. A fusion triple camber construction blending three camber profiles.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A medium flex where the area between the feet (the insert zone) feels medium-stiff and doesn't bend easily. The nose and tail are comparatively soft, making buttering easy and ollie pop accessible. Overall it damps better than competing products, absorbing vibration well on rough snow.

Rider levels suggested in the review
Intermediate
Adapting to triple camber's hooky character takes time, so it suits intermediates rather than complete beginners. It provides a forgiving ride and good edge hold, but is recommended for intermediate and above riders who can manage the instability arising from the clash between camber profiles.
What the review liked
- ✓Excellent powder float for a twin board, with a surfy turn feel
- ✓It delivers powerful edge hold even on hard, icy snow
- ✓Never Summer's signature excellent damping allows stable riding even on uneven snow
- ✓When waxed, it shows base glide speed in the upper tier for its price bracket
- ✓The true twin shape makes buttering and switch riding easy
What the review found lacking
- —Clashes between the triple camber profiles can produce a hooky, loose feel
- —Instability such as speed wobble can appear on hard snow
- —Less spring feel out of the turn exit than the recurve triple camber
- —The base dries out easily without waxing
- —The size feels small underfoot, so sizing up may be needed
