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 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.
A closer look

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
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.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A medium-soft flex at 4 out of 10. It bends readily with good snapback, so pop is easy to draw out.
