TRUE FREESTYLE VERSATILITY

Refined for the rider ripping in the park, hitting natural kickers and taking tree runs all in a days ride, the Darkstar’s twin-tip design and medium flex defines true freestyle versatility.

Winning numerous board tests in 2007, the Darkstar is back and a freestyle power to be reckoned with. Hyper Progressive Sidecut and centered stance offer precise response and easy maneuverability while the Hybritaper Tip and Tail reduce swing weight and has the stability to power through any landing.

Board Technology

4000 Sintered

• Fastest natural base material available
• Durable
• Absorbs wax faster
• Retains wax longer

Hyper Progressive
Similar to a formula one car suspension, our Hyper Progressive sidecut allows for ultra fine adjustment at any speed and in any condition. An infinite number of different radius are blended together flawlessly from mellow in the tips, to more aggressive in the center. This sidecut mellows out the transitions leaving you with the most predictable, best all around riding board on the market.

Hybritaper Tip
Hybritaper takes our current Hybritech Board Technology, and tapers out the core at the tip and tail to reduce the swing weight. We blend the tips from a cap into a thin sandwich removing the sidewall where you don’t need it.

POP 1
Carbon has been extended to the very edge of the board for maximum power and pop combined with a fine tuned edge hold and torsional stability.

Biaxial
Best performing all purpose glass for an easy performance ride.

WH2
Three species of renewable wood are assembled to optimize strength, reduce weight, and enhance damping without the addition of other materials.
