Thoughts: What’s Rocker Got to Do With It? – Part Two
1In talking about Banana, C2 and Magna Traction in the previous article, hopefully you got some insight into how and why those boards are designed the way they are. I wanted to talk about Never Summer’s Rocker & Camber technology and Vario Power Grip sidecut technology. Never Summer recently was awarded a patent on their Rocker & Camber technology. This is an awesome accomplishment for such a small company! While Never Summer wasn’t the first to look at rocker technology, they were the first ones to really incorporate the technology into their whole board line, taking a gamble in the process. Let’s take a look at the Never Summer Rocker & Camber (R.C. Technology.)
Review: ’10-’11 Never Summer Revolver
71One of the last boards I reviewed from Never Summer this year was the Revolver. I own the ’09-’10 model of this board, and honestly didn’t feel there was too much different between ’09-’10 and ’10-’11 models. I rode the Revolver with Flow NXT FSE XL bindings, Union Contact L/XL bindings as well as the Flow “The One” boots in size 12. The Revolver is Never Summers mid-wide/wide version of the ever so popular park/freestyle deck, the EVO. On thing I absolutely love about Never Summer is they always provide excellent board sizes to accommodate larger riders.

Review: 10-11 Never Summer Raptor X
74I recently had the pleasure of getting my hands on the new 10-11 Never Summer Raptor X. The Raptor X replaces the Titan TX (or Titan) this year with a few changes in place. I took this board out multiple times, with both Union Force bindings, and the Flow NXT FSE bindings, and size 12 Flow “The One” boots. I know a lot of people are curious about this board, so let’s dig into it.
