The Protoslinger X is a blend of Never Summer’s now-extinct park board, the Funslinger, and the all-mountain ripper, Proto Type Two. This true twin snowboard has an asymmetrical shape with a medium/soft flex and a profile that is powerful, yet cruisey enough, for the powder for the intermediate rider or above.

Key Features:

  • Shockwave Rocker Camber – This profile contains longer camber areas beneath the feet for huge pop and incredible stability, with a small rocker area in between the feet that retains float in the powder and quick turn initiation.
  • Asym Vario Power Grip Sidecut – The sidecut utilizes multiple radii to create extra contact points along the edge of the board to increase edge hold. The asymmetrical version of this sidecut puts a shorter radius on the heel side so the contact points are located closer to the heels for better grip and edge hold. - NS Superlight Wood Core – The core features a custom blend of wood species designed to be the lightest weight, yet most durable.
  • Low Profile Tip/Tail – A thinner/shorter tip and tail gives the board maximum contact with the snow for more powerful pop and stability to landings. This also gives the board better glide and better float. - STS Pretensioned Fiberglass – The fiberglass on this board has been pretensioned to produce the same feel from day 1 on day 300. Added elastomer stringers provide a stronger bond between the individual glass laminates to increase the strength, performance, and edge hold of the board.

Dylan is the man!
5 /5
Only having skateboarding experience, I was weary to buy my first snowboard. Finding Dylan was a huge help as he answered all the questions I had. With his help, I was able to find what size board & profile was right for me. Also, with the additional information during our conversation, I now what what to consider when buying future boards, bindings, and boots. Thank you again Dylan!

Allie was absolutely phenomenal!
5 /5
I stumbled upon curated while researching what kind of skis to buy via youtube videos - and im SO glad I ended up where I did. Allie guided me through my first adult ski and binding purchase. She answered all my questions, and more. Allie made me feel very comfortable and sure that the purchase I was making was the right one for me. Allie was so kind that I hope to run into her one day on the slopes with the new gear she helped me choose :)

Ryan is the man
5 /5
Ryan was the absolute best in helping me find my first set of gear as a somewhat beginner snowboarder. I started snowboarding a few years ago and fell in love with it. Eventually renting gear all the time caught up to me and I haven’t hopped on a board in almost 2 years. As I’m trying to get back into it and avoid this problem going forward, Ryan truly made the overwhelming experience of buying a board, boots, bindings, helmets and goggles a freakin breeze. He will help you budget while also finding you the best quality gear. Ryan even took the time to make me a personal video explaining why he chose certain gear for me while also giving multiple options. Anyone and everyone who doesn’t know the ins and outs of this stuff should have someone like Ryan to make the process easier. Thanks again Ryan 🤘🏼

Getting into boarding after skiing most of my life. I have weird skeleton proportions so I got all the answers I needed for which board, bindings, and boots to choose. Great conversation and besides for this site being dope, Tyler seems like someone I'd hit the mountain with any day. Good stuff, great guy, good vibes!

Making a large purchase on a piece of equipment is fraught for a non-expert; Luke took the fear out of the decision, provided a number of recommendations across different price points, and really listened to what I was looking for! This service is excellent, and I deeply appreciate Luke's expertise and recommendations in making this decision!
