DC Boards 16/17

Getting through life is all about experimentation to see what works for us and what does not. It's only right that the same method is to be used for snowboarding since it keeps us alive and rippin'! Don't worry, this isn't a gateway to the hardcore stuff or is it...

DC Media Blitz

Describe this board in a few sentences? 

Hot Viking zombie chicks may seem like an odd theme for graphics, but Torstein knows exactly what he wants and he packed it all into his park-tuned signature series. Highlighted by the sure-fire pop 
of Traditional Camber, a durable Impact Core, and catch-free Tips Up technology, it’s built for battle in all environments.

Where did you draw your influences from to create this deck?

Designed and ridden by Torstein, the board is inspired by what he loves and his personal universe. Together, DC & Torstein created a model that tailors to his needs, in any type of condition. The Tips-Up Technology gives the board a longer running length with a short tip and tail, giving you the most stable ride for a reduced length.

Best terrain to rip this board? 

The Media Blitz is a park-oriented board which offers the versatility and stability to tackle any type of terrain. This board does it all!

If you could compare this board to one non-snowboarding thing what would it be?

A Norwegian viking ship eager to slay anything in it’s path, with hot zombie viking chicks on it.

 

LENGTHS: 146, 150, 154, 158

DC Supernatant

Describe this board in a few sentences?

A directional freestyle powder vessel built to sail straight into the eye of the storm. Even riding switch! Developed by Devun Walsh, the Supernatant features a floaty MicroCamber profile and the lightweight combo of Carbon/Kevlar laminates under a FreshDeck topsheet.

Where did you draw your influences from to create this deck?

Devun Walsh sat down with the teams at DC and came up with this board made to conquer the powdery backcountry fields in which he spends most of his time. It’s the perfect backcountry board with enough pop to launch you off of anything that gets in your path.

Best terrain to rip this board?

It’s a freestyle powder board which is perfect for mid to deep powder, but also handles wonderfully on the slopes, particularly at high speeds, and versatile enough to occasionally take you through the park.

If you could compare this board to one non-snowboarding thing what would it be?

A surfboard on which you could pull the best backside 180 no-grab the world has ever seen
