Never Summer Proto Type 3 Drag Free Snowboard 2026 - Men's

2026 Never Summer Proto Type 3 Drag Free Snowboard

The Proto Type 3 Drag Free is the wide-platform version of Never Summer’s high-performance all-mountain twin, built for riders who want maximum stability and zero toe or heel drag. Its Triple Camber Twin profile delivers powerful pop, enhanced edge hold, and smooth control, while the true twin shape makes it equally capable riding regular or switch. With a medium flex and Drag Free geometry, the Type 3 DF handles hard carves, jumps, park laps, pow stashes, and side hits with confidence. It’s the snappier, more stable evolution of the iconic Proto twin—now built for bigger boots.

Who is this board best for?

Riders with larger boots who want a high-energy, true twin that excels in freestyle, all-mountain terrain without toe or heel drag.

What is new on the 2026 model?

 New graphics and refined Triple Camber Twin shaping, now offered in Drag Free width for enhanced carving leverage and stability.
