Product Info
K2 Darkstar Wide Snowboard 2010: Back for 2010, The K2 Darkstar Wide Snowboard improves upon the high standard set for this board last season. Loyal to its nature and to large-footer shredders everywhere, the Darkstar is a true twin-tip with Hyper Progressive shaping, which offers immense pop and precise response. The centered stance also allows for even greater control and maneuverability while throwing down anywhere on the mountain.
Product Details
Flex
The Twin-tip design and medium flex of the Darkstar create excellent incredible pop, torsional responsiveness and freestyle mastery for the rider looking for the premium freestyle shred.
Construction and Core
Carbon Matrix I Torsion forks extend from the inserts to the very edge of the board’s contact points for maximum power and pop combined with fine tuned edge hold. A W2 all-wood core creates the perfect blend of stability, durability, and snap.
Other Features
The Darkstar’s wide waist will accommodate boot sizes 11.5 and over to reduce toe and heel drag and increase control.
Base
4000 Sintered base with Biaxial bottom glass for an awesomely smooth and fast ride. Also super durable and wax-retentive so that you can spend more time shredding and less repairing.
Sidewalls and Edges
Hybritaper tip tech tapers out the core at the tip and tail and blends it into the sidewall creating smoother transitions and reducing swing weight.

Terrain
Freestyle Freestyle or park snowboards tend to be a bit shorter in length and love terrain parks, rails, jibs, trash cans, tree trunks, riding switch (non-dominant foot forward), wall rides and more. Freestyle boards often feature a true twin shape, and are typically selected by those looking to ride the terrain park. A more versatile variant of a freestyle board is the all-mountain freestyle, which combines the versatility of an all mountain snowboard with the playfulness of a freestyle snowboard. All-Mountain All-mountain snowboards are designed for exploring the whole mountain. They are your go-to for a snowboard that will do anything. They feel at home on groomers, powder, park runs and almost anything in between. The vast majority of snowboarders choose all-mountain boards for their great versatility. If you’re just getting started or unsure of exactly what you need, an all-mountain snowboard is a great choice.

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type
Camber Camber is the traditional profile for snowboards, and still popular among high-level park and pipe riders because it offers maximum energy and pop. A cambered board has a smooth arch underfoot and touches near the tip and tail when unweighted; when the rider’s weight is added, it provides a long, evenly pressured running surface and edge.
