18/19 season review
This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A racing-only board from Donek Snowboards that delivers powerful carving performance and high-speed stability through a very hard flex (on the stiffest 167 wide model) and a large sidecut radius. It recorded 45.9 mph even unwaxed, and its excellent damping handles jump landings smoothly.
It comes strongly recommended to experienced riders who want racing or high-speed carving.

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Camber
A World Cup racing board with a traditional camber construction, providing powerful edge hold and high-speed carving performance through a large sidecut radius.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
Donek's hardest model based on the 167 wide, with a very stiff flex. It's optimised for high-speed stability and powerful edge hold; lighter riders are advised toward the soft model.

Advanced
Based on the 167 wide, the stiffest model, it has a very hard flex specialised for high-speed racing and carving. Softer models exist for different weights and builds, but overall it suits experienced and race-oriented riders.
