K2 Darkstar Wide Snowboard 2011: A tried and true backbone of the Progression Series, the K2 Darkstar Wide 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 Wide 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 Wide Snowboard 2011:

      Got this board right before the end of the 11/12 season. Only got to ride it for four days in questionable conditions at Steamboat. Absolutely loved it though, I also had my '09 Gnu Carbon Credit series with me, Felt so much more stable and confident on the Darkstar. Much faster, I had to walk through the flats on the gnu. Just shot through on the Darkstar. Even on ice I didn't miss the magnetraction. Cant wait to take her out again next season. Thank you so much Evo (my favorite online board shop)!

        I really liked the board. The design is great and the flat camber really helps gain lots of speed because of more contact with the snow. It is a strong board and takes hits really well. Definitely recommend this to other boarders!!!

        Comments about K2 Darkstar Wide Snowboard 2011:

        I'm a full-time snowboard instructor in Colorado and I snapped an older Ride kink. I needed a board in a pinch and found the 2011 K2 Darkstar on Evo for a great price. i mean better than pro-forms... I read some reviews and people either said it was a decent all mountain board or that it wasnt worth the money. I think its a great board. i've already put about 60 days on it this season with more to come. I'd definantly reccomend this board to anyone getting sierously into park, (Ie: starting to spin off of jumps, hitting rail with some trick variation etc...) I have found the board to be a little soft, (which i personally like,) I'm 6'6 and 220 lbs and i bought the 160cm. I just like smaller soft boards. It's great for teaching on, from the magic carpet, to the park and pipe, and all the way to the extremes here at CB. I would absolutly reccomend this board for a rider on a budget.

          great board for the price. i was looking for a good board for an intermediate rider but i didnt want to break the bank. with all the deals EVO had going on and this board being a later season, i basically got the board for half off, which was far more than i expected. im really pleased with both the board and EVO and will certainly bring my business back to the site

          • Good Flexibility
          • Great on rails

          Comments about K2 Darkstar Wide Snowboard 2011:

          This is a great second board to have in your arsenal. I wouldnt recommend it as a primary stick, but I'm glad I picked one up this season. Lots of fun for jibs, park, groomers, etc. I rode two this season and my longer one actually rode decent in the pow.
