Capita Defenders Of Awesome vs Never Summer Proto Type 3

How they compare

Both target all mountain and freestyle terrain, while the Never Summer Proto Type 3 leans more freeride. They share a twin shape — same shape at nose and tail; rides switch naturally. Common for park and freestyle. The Capita Defenders Of Awesome has a hybrid (rocker/camber) profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the Never Summer Proto Type 3 uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). Both are rated 5/10 flex (medium).
