Ok so your looking for a new Snowboard and your want a Freestyle Park snowboard.. read on...
The Never Summer Evo 2011 snowboard has received a lot of attention over the past season. Firstly, Olympic pipe slayer Greg Zebrowski took a Never Summer Evo to the Olympics without even being offered a contract with Never Summer Snowboards. He was so stoked on the product that he was prepared to ride it for free. Secondly (and probably more significantly!), when the annual snowboard test can about we tested 16 of 2011’s park/freestyle snowboards on a test to determine the best park snowboard of 2011, the Never Summer Evo was by far the best on the test. If you want to ride everything from the most technical rails to the most towering superpipes the Never Summer Evo 2011 should be on your shortlist.

The full review of the Never Summer Evo 2011:
The Never Summer Evo is one mega fun freestyle stick. It felt good from second i put it on my feet, amazing for buttering & pressing and also held an edge very well at pretty high speeds. In the park, the Never Summer Evo was easy for spinning and jumping around off transitions of all shapes and sizes. One of the big surprises was how able the Evo was through the slush and how controlled it was on hard pack snow. When I took the Evo in the park, it felt very catch free on boxes and rails. Flat land tricks felt effortless and to be honest I found it hard not to keep shredding the Evo for the rest of the day, unfortunately I had tons of other boards to get through. The Never Summer Evo just feels right in every way; you really need to test it to understand how sick it is. I’m definitely getting one!.. in fact im keeping this one! The EVO is a must try board for any budding freestyler. A treasure of a jib board in my opinion and it definitely put a large smile on my face! The rocker in between the feet and camber on nose & tail sounded a bit weird to me at first but after testing, I must say I’m hugely impressed by how easy the RC technology makes presses and popping tricks! Sure the Evo is expensive for a jib board but then again Aston Martins are expensive for sports cars. The best thing about it is that pretty much anyone can have fun on the Evo and that’s what its all about!
