Never summer made the Harpoon with a medium soft middle that goes to medium or almost medium stiff over the camber in the tip/tail. It can be a lot of fun riding it different ways but we found it the most fun for ourselves with most of our weight on that back foot over all that camber. Its personality can change in many ways depending on where your weight is on the board. That being said it is very forgiving and super easy to skid turns with. It makes for a pretty loose/auto spinny ride especially when one footing or flat basing. It starts with their more pronounced ripsaw camber profile in the tail, rocker between the feet and a mellow elliptical camber in the nose with maybe a mellow transition into early rise before the nose. The Never Summer Harpoon has a little shorter/wider tapered directional shape with a lot going on in the camber profile. Here are some ideal US boot sizes for these boards.ġ59- 10-12 Shape/Camber/On Snow Feel/Ability Level Stay close to the Never Summer Harpoon’s weight recommendations.

A Break Down of How it rides and who it is for We do make money from the “Where To Buy” links, but this is our best attempt at an honest and objective review from an average riders’ perspective. We mainly got this in good powder but will hopefully get more groomer time when the resorts open again.Įthics Statement: We don’t get paid by the manufacturer to write these reviews and this is our unfiltered opinion. The Never Summer Harpoon has that trendy semi-wide semi-short super directional shape but with a very soft play flex that matches up with many riders. Rocker in the middle can feel loose and auto spinny in harder snow. Turn Offs/Swipe Left: Soft flexing center of board can bend too easy in uneven terrain and slow momentum. Great pop in the tip/tail and fun to steer off the back foot. Turn Ons/Swipe Right: Soft buttery playful board in a semi-short/semi-wide tapered directional shape.
