For those of you who are expert riders killing it off big kickers, gnarly drops, and demanding terrain, well then this board is for you. Those of you who are anything but, I recommend staying away. This board is not for people learning to do park, nor learning to jib. Mount Vernon mobile diesel mechanic

Once on edge, the board corners like a monorail. It cuts a super deep line and doesn't let go. I haven't had a chance to check out its performance in powder, but with its 2 inch setback and directional design, I imagine it does just fine. Fort LauderdaleEngine Diagnostics And Repair

Bought my never summer legacy along with forum Shaka bindings and ride Hy-Phy boots and am really happy I did. Awesome setup for all-mountain riding and the quality is top notch. I've put this board though some serious abuse and there is hardly a scratch on it.

PROS
-quality
-rocker/chamber system is awesome. The rocker center EATS powder and the chambered ends store massive pop!
-speed and control
-very smooth, the dampening system under the bindings is awesome. Never any speed vibrations.
-flex (medium) is perfect. playful enough for butters, rigid enough for high speeds and bombing bowls.

CONS
-none

Effortless turn initiation, this board goes where your head is looking. It may seem a little loose initially, but turn on the speed cut hard/cut soft doesn't matter this board sticks it and soaks up chop at any speed I had no problem keeping up with skiers. The edges are a little hard to find and can seem sloppy until you pick up serious speed and carve deep, this is an amazing board that is playful and flexible at slow speeds and tight/responsive at high speed. Once you find the edges this thing carves up down all around in tiny circles. The more energy you put into this board the more energy it puts out. Butterfly-Rocker/Camber rocks out! I am 6ft 190lbs on a 161 legacy-R and the board is a little small but I enjoy a board I can over-steer and this monster holds everything I throw at it!

Not quite the same pristine feel of the Burton CustomX but the 161Legacy is wider and a little heavier than the 165customX wide.

This is the best board money can buy. I have ridden since 1989, I have tried every major brand out there, & NOTHING compares to Never Summer. I have ridden legacy's for the last 9 years. In spring of 99 before a trip to HCSC at Mt Hood I got my 1st Legacy & since I would never consider another brand. Since I have had 2 more and I am about to buy my 4th. I started on a 156 then moved up to 159 (had two of them) & Now as I get older (& wider myself), I am stepping up to a 161. It dominates the park, screams on groomers, & cuts pow like a hot knife thru butter. It holds its edge at warp speeds on the hardest pack, & never chatters. It is so snappy & has such a great pop, & When you lay it down on this board you stomp it with authority. When things got squirrelly, this board has saved my ass from some gnarly crashes on some of the hardest landings you can imagine by holding when it has to but giving when its needed its almost like its just "knows". Do your self, & your riding the best favor you could ever wish for… buy a legacy.

I have never had a issue with any of my legacy that I would call a defect. The bases have taken rail after rail, & rock after rock with no issue. The only problem I ever had was cracking the edges, but that is a result of hard landings on metal hand rails, Metal on metal is fun, but bad for the long term life of your edge. This happend on 1 legacy 159, after 2 plus seasons & I go up 20+ times a season.

If you are larger than the average rider, in my humble opinion, there is nothing better.
I am 6'3" 250 size 13 boots. Last season,after riding a Ride Yukon for a couple of years, I was looking for something with a little more juice.
I picked up the Legacy w/out demoing because of high praise from friends on other NS models, it is American made and it comes with an unequaled 3 year warranty. Oh, and lots of research.
Where the Ride was a bomber that was fast but clunky on transitions, the Legacy was faster, more agile and more clatter free then the Yukon.
The first day on it in Val D'Isere, there was 4 ft of freshie and the NS blazed ferarri-like through it all. So much so, it was hard to keep up with on the first day.In northeast pack, it glides over any variation with ease.

Again, if your a wide board rider, look no further than the Never Summer Legacy.

This snowboard ROCKS, I'm 6'2" and 240lb size 13 and this board takes it all. This board loves the powder, crusty stuff, you name it. I got it for a steal off of ebay so it's a little short @159 but makes the trees that much easier to navigate.

Vision snowboard (snaped in two when it got caught between me and a tree.) Never Summer much better

I purchased a 170cm Legacy and rode it all season in North America and during the summer in South America. I am a large rider ... 6'4", 225lbs and bought the Legacy 170 without demoing it. The only complaint I had is that it was a bit too big for me. I solved the problem this year by getting a smaller 165cm Legacy and couldn't be happier. This board will take your riding to a new level. It floats over powder and rips through crud. Very smooth on groomers and although a bit heavy is smooth landing big air. I have dished out several servings of sick abuse and I think it may be unbreakable. My wife says I love this board more than her ... I think she may be right! If you are looking for a new board definitely check out Never Summer. You will not be dissapointed!

Speed, the sintered 4000 base is as fast as they come. Durable, takes a beating and holds up well. Carves unbelievably, lay it out at high speed any terrain and it won't let you down. Stable, runs through crud with smoothest ride on the mountain. Unbelievable customer service, 3 year warranty, handmade quality board. You will never shop anywhere else after you get one of these boards.

Limited production, shops sell them fast. If you find your size don't wait too long to buy or you might not find another one 'til next season!

I actually have a 2005 Board, first one they produced. Called Never Summer for a pro deal in Feb 2004. They only had three boards left at the factory, none my size. At the time I had order in with Arbor and they didn't have a board left for me either. So they asked me if they could make me one(how sweet is that?). I got it one week later and they shipped it free of charge. Just called the mountain and verified I worked there, no long forms or slow processes.
