DC HKD Snowboard

The HKD, honeycomb kevlar directional board, represents the pinnacle of the DC snowboard line...
From the music culture that Factory came from, and many album covers he's well known for; New Order, OMD, and Joy Division, to name a few, Peter Seville has been asked by DC to commission his amazing artwork into their snowboard line of outerwear and hardgoods. The result is genious!
The HKD, their Honeycomb Kevlar Directional board, represents the pinnacle of the DC snowboard line - it's the lightest, most responsive board available from DC. An all-mountain directional twin tip, the HKD is ready for all types of riding, from the half pipe to the powder.
The HKD features DC's handmade PHANTOM core, which combines lightweight honeycomb with responsive, vertically laminated of poplar and obeche. The core also features their DUAL TORSION BOX with KEVLAR and CARBON, a construction technique that provides shock absorption, vibration dampening, and great stability. HKD boards are wrapped with a durable (yet lightweight) 64.20 BI-AX laminate, meaning the board is virtually bombproof. The HKD has a laser finished, high quality 7200 SINTERED base, making it firm, durable, and exceptionally fast.
Ryan says:My favorite DC board, DC did it right. Great all mountain ride. Super light and maneuverable in the park. Definitely a force in steep chutes and pow. Fast and fun. Great work DC. Awsome graphic too.

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.

Great Board!

Rating:*****
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

Rating:***
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.

Dak..."You don't see much DC boards around these days" you make it sound like they are an old thing, DC just started making snowboards last season (07/08) and they didn't really hit the public for sale till this season (08/09). They are new school not old school. Anyway, id give them a few years to get into the groove of things and work their kinks out. I have a buddy who has one who isn't very impressed, and I have pretty much only heard negative things from people on the mtn about theirs.
