Newsflash

Pocket Pistol's B. "Chicken" Deck is all over the import industry's use of heat-transfer graphics to boards.  Sure, he's a silk-screen traditionalist (and one of the best), but there's more to this than just gripin':  heat breaks down epoxy and the boards get hot!

    Easy to distinguish from the rest of the fleet, this downhill demon is created for velvet smooth handling at breakneck speeds.

    Their exclusive Polyethylene tip and tail bumpers protect the board from high speed impact, and help to reduce damage to the wood and composite laminates. These bumpers dramatically improve durability and extend the life of your Never Summer Longboard.

    They use an exclusive STS/SK8 fiberglass in all of their skateboards. This pre-hardened, pre-tensioned, layered laminate is the world's best fiberglass and only Never Summer has it.

    Utilizing their in-house wood working facility they manufacture a vertically laminated aspen core for the longer models. Borrowing from a proven core technology used in snowboards they have adapted flight core characteristics to make a solid and responsive platform for longboards.
