K2 Darkstar Snowboard: A tried and true backbone of the Progression Series, the K2 Darkstar Snowboard continues its reign as one of the top favorites for freestyle riders in the line. The true twin, Hyper Progressive construction that has won numerous Good Wood awards in the last three years is now being coupled with new Flatline Technology at the team’s request for 2011. Progressive, proven, powerful… the K2 Darkstar Snowboard remains.
Flex
The K2 Darkstar Snowboard is a true twin built for riders looking for a freestyle board they can slay through the park day in and day out.
Construction and Core
Hybritaper™ tapers out the core at the tip and tail to reduce the swing weight. K2 blended the tips from a cap into a thin sandwich removing material where you don’t need it
WH2 wood core maintains durability at the lightest weight possible
Shape
True twin shape
Demanded by the International Pro Team and proven through multiple awards, K2 is the leader in development of this base profile. Preloaded, stable, and turn-ready, Flatline promotes a supremely balanced, smooth ride for both aspiring and accomplished pros
The Hyper progressive sidecut mellows out the transitions leaving you with the most predictable, best all around riding board on the market. Responsive enough for high-speed power carves but smooth enough to butter your way from the peak to park
Base
4000 Sintered base is the fastest natural base material available. Exceptionally durable, absorbs wax faster and retains wax longer.

    Comments about K2 Darkstar Snowboard 2011:

    I just started riding this season, used friends old equipment for the first few times out, did a lil renting and bought this based on recommendations.

    Turns out to be extremely light, easy to manuever, smooth riding with good pop.

    I would definately recommend this as a good all around board for beginners,it seems like i'll be able to use this for a long time without needing to upgrade.

    Comments about K2 Darkstar Snowboard 2011:

    Bought this to use as my short board for a more playful ride and I sure made the right choice! Paired the board with Flux SF45 bindings and man it was super nimble. Holds a great edge when charging hard and has really good pop. It's a little stiff but flex is probably medium overall, soft enough to press but not the best butter board. Great in the fluffy stuff, tip floats great! Super fast and stable, glides the cat walks with ease! The only bad thing is the sidewalls near the tip and tail damage easy because they are tapered. Totally recommend this board to anyone! Great board!

      For the park rider you will find it's a little bit stiff for pressing but not overly stiff. Good for jumps, qp's, and hitting rails/boxes with any speed.
