Never Summer Proto Slinger vs Ride Kink

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 Never Summer Proto Slinger has a hybrid (camber/rocker) profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the Ride Kink uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). Both are rated 3/10 flex (soft).
