DC HKD Snowboard - 2008

Step on the DC HKD Snowboard and shred into a different world of possibility. This board features DC’s Honeycomb Kevlar Directional construction and a lightweight, crazy responsive, highly durable Phantom core. DC wrapped vertically laminated wood in a Dual Torsion Box, a combination of super-strong and lightweight Kevlar and carbon. This engineered construction makes the HKD stronger than a roided-out Austrian, and poppier than mom’s FM presets. DC used a laser—yeah, a laser—to finish the HKD’s sintered base, so you know you this siiiick stick ain’t your dad’s snurfboard. If you’re not into all that tech sh!t, then you’ll drool over Peter Saville’s tectonic waveform graphic for the HKD.

Bottom Line: HKD could stand for so many things… hot korn dogs, honey kooz doodler, but instead, DC went with Honeycomb Kevlar Directional—pretty dope sh!t, n'est-ce pas?

I bought my board about 3 months ago, i just got into boarding, but now that i have improved dramatically, this board handles like a pro, whether its through powder, or in the park, the MKD is definitely a kickass board. I recommend it to anyone!

Rips

By:

I bought this board after 7 years of riding 5-10 per season. It is the perfect board to transition from intermediate to more advanced. It handled POW like a champion, and it's pop and lightness doubled my jumping capabilities. It's a little tough to get used to how hard it grips turns but that's the nature of an advanced board.

Great deal, good look, and frickin flies down the mountain.

Great Board!

You don't see much DC boards around these days, but if you're looking for one, this is what you want.
This All-Mountain board does it all.
It's fast and responsive down the slopes and has enough flex for the park. Great board.

Weird Base & Stiff

By:
April 13, 2009

I bought this off a guy on CL, and it's definitely a stiff board. I'm 6'-4", 230 and ride a 160. It's my first advanced-intermediate ride and it took a bit to get used to the stiffness.

The other thing that I have trouble with is the base. I don't know if this is standard with the sintered 7500, but it seems that I cannot hold a wax for more than a day. When the wax eventually rubs off, the base sticks something awful and makes a sound like nylon being rubbed together. I've tumbled a couple times just from the base sticking to the snow. Not cool.

All told, it is a very fast board, and floats like a dream in pow. After getting used to how much to boss it to turn, it's a great ride. Get a wider one if you've got gigantic feet like me. I wear a 13, and my toes hang over.

Check to make sure your waxing your board at the right temperature otherwise the wax wont penetrate the pores in the base and will come right off
