Ask Curated a question about this product:
The Never Summer Proto Slinger X Snowboard is the ultimate choice for freestyle snowboarding enthusiasts. Designed with Shockwave Rocker Camber Profile and Asymmetrical edge bite, this board is perfect for technical riders like Sam Klein. But that's not all - it also performs exceptionally well in powder, trenches, and big jumps. With its soft flexing design, the Proto Slinger X Snowboard is a true oxymoron that defies expectations.
Key Features:
- Shockwave Rocker Camber Profile provides excellent control and stability on any terrain.
- Asymmetrical edge bite ensures maximum grip and precision turning.
- Soft flexing design allows for easy maneuverability and a comfortable riding experience.
- Ideal for freestyle snowboarding but also excels in powder, trenches, and big jumps.
- Made with high-quality materials to ensure durability and longevity.

Jessica B. tested this product
If you are an intermediate to advanced rider looking for a high-quality snowboard that can handle various terrains and riding styles, especially all-mountain and powder riding, the Never Summer ProtoSlinger X Snowboard could be a good option to consider. The directional nose allows this board to float in the powder much better than I expected. he ProtoSlinger X Snowboard also... Read more
Ideal for
- camber sections between the feet and rocker sections at the tip and tail, which can provide good stability, control, and playfulness on the mountain.
- directional twin shape with slightly longer nose than tail, making it more suitable for all-mountain riding and powder riding.
- features carbon fiber laminates, which can provide added responsiveness and energy transfer for increased performance.
Not ideal for
- Will be a little stiff for beginners or park riders who may prefer a softer board

Protoslinger 20/21
Originally posted at neversummer.com on Sep 27, 2024This was my first rockered board after having flats, flat out, traditional camber. At first it was hard to get used to the Shock Wave profile, but one I learned how to ride it and where the right spot was to pop the ollie, I fell in love with this board. I've been snowboarding for 27 years and I've never had so much fun on a deck.
The asymmetrical twin is a cool unique way to ride a board. I would compare that to tight trucks on the heel and loose trucks on the toes, So much fun to play around with. Rarely would catch an edge with how the camber is. It's not overpowering at all. Nimble and fast. What I've seen in this deck will make me want to upgrade down the road with another NS.

Amazing my new daily rider
Originally posted at neversummer.com on Apr 11, 2024This board was truly incredible. I had high expectations and it somehow exceeded them all. I knew it would be fun and slay the park. Also figured it would pop and be fun on any side cut or anything else to pop off of and jib. What didn’t realize was this was a tree and mogul slayer as well. Felt extremely comfortable in the trees, park, steeps, and moguls in this board. It is a truly amazing all mountain board. I got the 149 I am 5’9 135/140 and feel like it was perfect for my size to be able to do everything I like to do on the mountain!!

I don't know much when it comes to snowboard gear and I was really hesitant to to pick out a few specific boards to try and decide between, but josh gave me a Hollar and was able to help me not only give me boards to decide between, but gave me recommendations between all the gear I will need. Josh is absolutely fantastic and deserves a raise.

Helped me get skis
5 /5
Been looking to get some skis for a long time and I was hesitant to pull the trigger. Eventually, my new company offered me a wellness credit that included fitness and ski reimbursement. I came back to Curated and Jonathan updated my curation for me. Great experience as he was super knowledgeable and friendly.

GREAT all-around experience. Very helpful in helping me determine which route to go for a new board...after snowboarding for 30 years now. Austin was quick to respond throughout the numerous chat messages and he was very knowledgeable in helping me determine what board would accomplish what I was looking for. Thank you, Austin and Curated! Will definitely consider you guys again in the future.

Give Aimee more money!!!
5 /5
I have never heard of curated until I searched it up for the first time and had no idea that they match you with a REAL expert with years of experience. My experience with Aimee was fantastic and i’m not lying for the review. She was very helpful and friendly as I am new to all of it. We came to a conclusion about gear and prices and it all fit perfectly for me. I definitly hope more people get matched with her as she was a great help. Thanks again and I appreciate the great advice.

I had spent time and narrowed down my preferences, hopped on curated and Chris sent me a message almost instantly and he only ever took him a few minutes to respond. He provided me a variety of options that fit exactly with the preferences I had. He was kind and helped me find my perfect first set up within just a day and a half of messaging. He made the purchasing process a breeze, I will be recommending him and Curated to others.

I love that Curated puts you in touch with a real expert. I filled out the profile, quickly heard from Sarah and had a personalized list of snowboards to choose from. Having researched the boards, I found Sarah's comments and suggestions were spot on with what other riders stated about the recommended boards.

This was my first ever time buying ski’s and look guided me through it like he was a city tour guide. You cannot get a better person than Luke on curated. I was able to text him like he was a friend and ask question about certain skis and he would answer always in a great response quickly.
