The legendary board that keeps winning awards

The Defenders of Awesome (D.O.A.) is one of the most awarded snowboards in the industry.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right snowboard size?

The correct snowboard size should be selected primarily based on the rider's weight, followed by height and boot size. Choosing the right size improves control, stability, and overall riding comfort. Always refer to the manufacturer's size chart before making your decision.

How do I choose the correct snowboard width?

Snowboard width plays an important role in comfort and performance. Riders with larger boots should consider a Wide model to reduce the risk of toe and heel drag during turns. For most manufacturers, Wide snowboards are generally recommended for riders with boot sizes around EU 44 (US Men's 10) and above, although recommendations may vary depending on the snowboard design, binding setup, and riding style.

What does snowboard flex mean?

Flex refers to the stiffness of a snowboard. Softer boards are generally more forgiving and easier to control, while stiffer models provide greater stability at higher speeds and more precise edge response. The ideal flex depends on your riding style, ability level, and personal preference.

Is a new snowboard ready to ride?

Most new snowboards come factory-waxed and are ready to ride right out of the box. To maintain optimal base glide and edge performance, regular waxing and routine maintenance are recommended throughout the season.

How should I maintain my snowboard?

Regular waxing, edge tuning, and proper storage will help keep your snowboard performing at its best for many seasons. After riding, dry your board thoroughly and avoid storing it in damp environments for extended periods.

What are the differences between snowboard profiles?

A snowboard's profile significantly affects the way it rides. Camber offers precision and powerful edge hold, rocker provides a more forgiving and playful feel, while hybrid profiles combine the benefits of both. The best profile depends on your riding style and personal preferences.
