Arbor Relapse vs Never Summer Proto Ultra

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain and freestyle riding. They share a twin shape — same shape at nose and tail; rides switch naturally. Common for park and freestyle. The Arbor Relapse has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Never Summer Proto Ultra uses hybrid (camber/rocker) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Never Summer Proto Ultra is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. The Arbor Relapse targets advanced riders while the Never Summer Proto Ultra is aimed at expert riders.
