Never Summer Snowboards didn’t travel the world, or ride in helicopters, or build a private superpipe in the backcountry.  We took a flight or two, appreciated the art of snowboarding, and we created a movie with our friends that represents what snowboarding means to us.  HAVING FUN!  20 years ago Never Summer adopted the philosophy of an older, more established company from Vermont…Ben and Jerry’s…”If it’s not fun, why do it?”  For us it still holds true.  Enjoy the trailer!

Through the fabulous agnarchy.com website (aka shredding gnar snowboarding blog) we we got hold of this priceless video originally made by Dusty’s Boardshop in Walla Walla, Washington.

“Fun spoof about Never Summer snowboards and Burton snowboards. While there are a lot of good snowboard companies, like the Iphone, Burton has become the leader in the snowboard industry. We try to educate the customers but sometimes you can’t win.”

Check more of next season’s gear now.

The madness of ISPO has come to an end for 2010 and while the fingering of all the new kit and broing down with the riders and industry types is a fun way to pass several days cooped up in a cavernous hall or 10, our livers and vocal chords could certainly do with a vacation.

So, let the images do the talking as we run through yet more shots of next season’s kit…
