Snowboards comparison — 2024-2025 season
Compare two models
How they compare
Both target freestyle terrain, while the Never Summer Proto Ultra leans more all mountain. They share a twin shape — same shape at nose and tail; rides switch naturally. Common for park and freestyle. The Never Summer Proto Ultra 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 Rome Artifact uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The Never Summer Proto Ultra is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. The Never Summer Proto Ultra targets expert riders while the Rome Artifact is aimed at advanced riders.
