If you've been reading in the forums, you've seen the previews and prototypes of Never Summer's newest deck.  Here's their official announcement:

Never Summer Releases The DH Smoke

The wait is over, Never Summer is proud to make the official launch of the D.H. Smoke!

Having made a few changes since we’ve printed our skate catalog, we’ve got some new specs for the Smoke starting with an improved length of 10" in. x 40" in. and a wheel base of 34" in.  And although unconventional, NS is offering the Smoke as a high quality complete so that one could make the purchase and race that same day without compromise. Whether you want to add your own equipment, or use Never Summer’s stock set up, you’ll be ready to go.

Featuring a drop-thru, our completes come with custom built Randal DH Trucks, built just for us, to our rigid specifications. They have a 42 degree base plate with a 180 hanger and black barrel downhill bushings, plus we’re  using Rockin Ron's Stage II Missiles in our 77mm Inferno downhill wheel. The DH Smoke is loaded with Carbon Fiber, Bi-directional layered glass, Beech hard wood spine and tip, and our unique P-tex bumper at the tail.

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