Never Summer Proto Type 3 vs Salomon Assassin

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain and freestyle and freeride riding. The Never Summer Proto Type 3 uses a twin shape while the Salomon Assassin is directional twin. The Never Summer Proto Type 3 has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Salomon Assassin uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Salomon Assassin is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
