If snowboards were sold on TV infomercials they might look something like this.
Never Summer Industries debuted their R.I.P. Edge Hold Technology last winter and their eye catching demonstration of its capabilities on a frozen lake was such a success they decided to head out to Georgetown Lake in Colorado for round two.
With ice fishing tents in the background, snowboarders Jess Tennyson, Matt Williams, and Nick Larson laid down high speed turns across the 15 inches of ice as proof positive that Never Summer’s R.I.P. Edge Hold Technology is the real deal.
“R.I.P. Edge Hold Technology offers unmatched versatility — effortless glide through powder and park features while delivering the precision and grip required to carve deep trenches.”
The edge is designed as an alternative the “traditional grabby wavy edges that drag through the snow” by integrating waves into the board’s profile on the base plane, creating multiple high pressure points while allowing for smooth glide without drag.
R.I.P. Edge Hold Technology Overview:
Unlike traditional edge technology that uses serrated edges, which can often lead to a catchy and uneven feel, our snowboards with R.I.P. Edge Hold Technology offer a far superior riding experience. This cutting-edge design, featured exclusively on snowboards with the Hybrid Triple Camber Profile and the Recurve Traditional Profile, integrates waves directly into the base plane of the board, not along the side edge. This innovation creates multiple high-pressure points that deliver a smooth, drag-free ride. As a result, these snowboards maintain consistent edge pressure, leading to smoother, more balanced rides overall. With R.I.P. Edge Hold Technology, you can glide effortlessly through powder or smoothly slide park features without compromising the precision and grip needed for carving deep trenches. These snowboards provide maximum stability and control in any condition, allowing riders to experience unparalleled confidence and power on the slopes.
