Never Summer Proto Synthesis vs Ride Psychocandy

How they compare

Both target all mountain terrain, while the Never Summer Proto Synthesis leans more freestyle. The Never Summer Proto Synthesis uses a twin shape while the Ride Psychocandy is directional. The Never Summer Proto Synthesis 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 Psychocandy uses flat_rocker (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel). Both are rated 5/10 flex (medium).
