Expert reviews 1
The Never Summer Llama is an asymmetrical twin carrying stability and playfulness together. It grips well without catching, and pop and buttering come easily, making it a good fit for mountain freestyle. It's a board for park and side-hit-centred riders rather than aggressive carving or powder.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid camber
Never Summer's Recurve camber runs out past the inserts, with early rise at the nose and tail. Two passive bends in the camber section raise pop and consistency.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A medium-soft flex at 4 out of 10. It bends readily with good snapback, so pop is easy to draw out.
Where it shines
Who it suits
It doesn't discriminate by ability level. It's accessible for intermediates learning park and still plenty of fun for advanced riders.
