Peacemaker Review:
Never Summer welcomed Dylan Alito back into the family and he collaborated with the board shaping wizards to come up with a new freestyle twin with their ripsaw rocker camber profile. The Peacemaker twin shape is reminiscent of the Never Summer Warlock, with the added artwork of world famous tattoo artist Bryan Henry’s hand painted futuristic cowboy graphic on the topsheet, it truly memorizes you and draws you in for a second look. The Peacemaker is far from an ordinary freestyle board, this board can handle just about anything you can throw at it, park, pipe, street, and powder thanks to the blower stance inserts, for riding powder, you’ve got lots of options (we are hoping these inserts show up on more boards in Never Summers line up!). The Peacemaker has a slightly wider waist width and smaller size options than other boards in this category, it is quick edge to edge and rips on all mountain terrain, it carves deep trenches and has incredible edge hold with all of the characteristics you would expect from Never Summer. If you’re a fan of Never Summer’s all mountain freestyle line up of boards like the Funslinger, Warlock and Proto Type Two the Peacemaker is a board to look at for 2018-2019.
