{"product_id":"never-summer-eclipse-snowboard-2027","title":"Never Summer Eclipse Snowboard 2027","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Never Summer Eclipse 2027 snowboard is a directional all-mountain freeride board designed for riders who want strong carving performance, dependable edge hold and stability at speed. Built around Never Summer’s Triple Camber Recurve profile, it delivers a powerful and locked-in feel on hardpack and icy conditions while still remaining versatile enough for mixed terrain and powder days. The board combines a medium-stiff flex with a tapered directional shape and setback stance, giving it a confident, aggressive personality that suits intermediate to advanced riders looking for one board that can handle almost everything on the mountain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn snow, the Eclipse has excellent grip, a damp ride quality and ability to charge through chopped-up terrain without feeling unstable. It floats well in powder thanks to its directional design and early-rise nose, while still offering enough pop and energy for side hits and natural freestyle riding. However, it is less focused on park and jib performance and may feel too technical or “locked in” for beginners or riders who prefer a looser, surfier style. Overall, the Eclipse stands out as a high-performance daily driver for snowboarders who prioritise carving, speed and all-mountain versatility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTech:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTriple Camber Recurve Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Recurve brings you the ultimate, energetic all mountain feel of traditional camber while giving you an easier ride and more powerful edge hold, made possible by Triple Camber's R.I.P. Edge Hold Technology. This profile dominates all over the mountain and on all different variations of snow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDirectional Shape, 32mm Setback: \u003c\/strong\u003eA longer nose and a shorter tail, the very essence of a freeride snowboard. With the rider weight slightly shifted to the rear of the snowboard, you get easier float in the fresh snow and you save the dreaded leg burn by not having to lean back as must as you would on a twin snowboard.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlex - Mid-Stiff\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e (6\/10):\u003c\/strong\u003e Responsive and powerful with a freestyle mindset.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePowerSurf Wood Core: \u003c\/strong\u003eA high percentage of lightweight Paulownia is combined with Poplar and Birch running down the middle of the core and Poplar along the sidecut edge.

Edge Hold Tech:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amplifies edge performance, guaranteeing maximum stability and control in any condition while allowing for easy edge tunes. Instead of the traditional 'grabby' wavy edges that drag through the snow, this technology integrates waves into the board’s profile on the base plane, creating multiple high pressure points while allowing for smooth glide without drag.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSTS Pre-tensioned Fibreglass:\u003c\/strong\u003e An advanced pre-hardened, pre-tensioned, layered laminate that has added elastomer stringers.

A more substantial system than a freestyle board to stabilse at higher speeds but a little less dampening than in a freeride board for leaving the snow. An ideal combination of vibration absorption and energetic feel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElastomeric Underfoot Stabilisers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Directly below the mounts, providing optimum vibration and shock absorption and increase high-speed stability.
