The Proto Type 3 Snowboard rewards a little bit of trouble
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I brought this to a terrain park session where I ended up hitting a few unplanned side hits on the way out, and shifting into Blower Stance made the deeper snow near the tree line a total non issue. It handled the improvising better than boards that are supposedly built for exactly that."
Not every good run gets planned in advance, and the Never Summer Proto Type 3 Snowboard is happiest when the day takes a detour. A dare from a friend, a stash spotted from the lift, a rail nobody was supposed to hit twice, this board treats all of it as an invitation rather than an inconvenience.
Underneath that spontaneity sits Recurve Triple Camber, arching a traditional camber profile into something more forgiving without giving up its edge hold. The NS Superlite Wood Core is CNC sanded down to a fraction of a millimeter for a tailored flex, and Blower Stance Binding Inserts let you push your bindings back on the fly the moment a powder pocket turns out deeper than expected. It's a board built less for a plan and more for whatever the mountain talks you into.

Phantom Glide By DPS Skis
This snowboard is compatible with Phantom Glide, the long-lasting base treatment from DPS Skis. Backcountry technicians apply and UV-cure it before the board ships, so it arrives ready to ride with no waxing needed.
How It Works
Applied By Backcountry Techs
Backcountry technicians treat and UV-cure every board in the shop before it leaves the warehouse, so it arrives ready to ride with no setup required.
Glide That Outlasts Wax
Wax sits on top of the base and wears off in a few days. Phantom Glide bonds into the base, so glide stays fast and consistent from cold powder to spring slush.
No More Wax Days
Phantom Glide replaces scraping, ironing, and shop visits with a quick base cleaning using the Phantom Glide Base Care Kit. The formula is made without PFAS.
