Weakness:

being hand build there is not as many going around (well as many as the other companies anyway), but when u find one, snap it up!!

This board is sick... sick,sick,sick!!! Most stable board i have ridden. Though as anything. I took it out early in the season, there were plenty of rocks still exposed, came back with barely a scratch. Fastest board i have ever ridden. Can truely recommend Never Summer for your next board, u will not b disapponited.

Strength:

Solid, Stable, Tough, Fast.

Weakness:

um...Maybe weight. But see it just feels so much more stable like a freeride or DH bike. After all we all ride DH.

This board is Tough. I ride around a lot of rock and it takes a lick''n. It has incredable feel. I ride the 166 I''m 6''3" 210#. I can blast through any crud and finesse the tightest trees. It lands all the big drops for me and puts me right where I want to be.

Strength:

Stable, fast, fun, and very versatile. All other boards pail in comparison.

Weakness:

This word does not exist in the never summer dictionary.

Greatest board made. Never summer uses top quality materials to make amazing boards. Super fast and super stable at high speeds. I ride the 166. Cruises through powder, glides down ice, and cuts through slush with ease. I feel like an advanced rider on this board. The price is more than worth it for the quality.

Strength:

Strong, the base is soooo fast, the Polar bear graphics kick ass. The pop is just wicked, and soo stable on landings, even on the big drops!

Weakness:

some people think it''ll be a tank. Open your mind and try it, you won''t regret it

Legacy 170 is just awesome. I am 6''3 and weigh 14 stone, and it does evrything, stable at speed, awesome in the deep and steep stuff, and I can even ride rails on it!! Don''t ever buy anything else, cos there not worth it NS are the best.

Strength:

Stiffness, speed, NO HEEL AND TOE DRAG,, graphics are nice too.Don''t forget this board is handmade.

Weakness:

I would had liked that the Dual Torsion Box (offered in the Premiere) instead of the Poplar core. A bit pricey but worth every pennies.

I just changed my old Airwalk A-select for the new Never Summer Legacy 159. This wide board simply cleared my toe and heel darg and now I can carve without any problems. The board is very stiff. good pop and also is the fastest board I''ve ever ridden. Really the DuraSurf 4001 is the quickest base on the market. The carbon V Max II technology is just so sweet. It creates a big enrgy flow from the bindings area toward the edges which hold thye edge during every turns.

Strength:

Stability at speed. Heavy powder conditions show off this board''s nature. Stiff laterally, but flexy forward to back.

Weakness:

Slightly pricey. Not the ideal type of NeverSummer for the park or pipe. If you''re afraid of speed, this is NOT your board.

Incredibly stable deck. Handles speed with ease. In powder, floats like no other. Looking at this board for less than one minute an experienced rider can tell this deck is built to last. For tall riders, the wide is hands down superior to all other boards I''ve tried(which are a lot.

Strength:

Strong in every way.

Weakness:

Yeah right.

This board is it. Powder, groomers, rough chop.. whatever, this board is the best on the market. I have ridden burton (sell-outs!), Santa Cruz, Sims, and Nitro boards and this board far exceeds these other manufacturers products. P-tex side walls and a splintered base make this board nearly indestructable.

************************* *warning*warning*warning* ************************* don''t buy a neversummer board if there are still some decks you are thinking about checking out. after a day on this board you will never think of buying anything else. it''s so stable at speed yet oh so maneuverable. i''m a big guy @6''5 and size 13dogs usually hit the pow on a regular board. so wide it''s been for me, all the other boards ive ridden (k2 fatbob 164, gnu chb wide 167, gnu haulin oats 160 wide, have been cows, way slow with less response than a reg deck. the legacy is in a whole other league. @baker in a foot of pow its better than sex. seriously. it''s a lot of cash but absolutly without a doubt worth every frickin'' penny!
