Possibly the most popular name in the game, the Defenders of Awesome Snowboard stays ahead of the rest with futuristic tech to complement its futuristic looks. We love that this iteration sees a new Dual Blaster V2 core that shaves off some unnecessary weight for an even more ready-to-fly design that we can launch off moguls and kickers. And speaking of launch, the DOA still has the spring-loaded and stable Resort V1 profile and carbon boosters that'll send us to the moon if we so choose.

- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
I continue to buy this board year after year and I put it through the wringer. It stands up to every challenge I throw at it. Great for park and versatile enough to rip everything on the mountain. I set it back for pow days but I think in the future I'll get something more pow specific to handle those conditions.

The most consistent snowboard on the market. Whether you’re ripping through the park or smashing groomers the DOA never fails. So much pop, power and stability while being predictable and playful. My go to year after year!

Tried at a vendor party.
I got to try this at a "demo party" in a parking lot at Boreal last year while visiting from Texas. I bought it back in October from back country and just rode it for the first time in Breckenridge this week. Its a very fun board. I like it on the jumps. I wish I got a bigger one for powder tho.

Makes total sense why this board has been one of the most popular year after year. Extremely predictable ride that’ll tackle pretty much any condition. So much fun all around the park, set it back a little bit for deeper days and you’re good to go with this quiver board.

Everyday on the mountain is different for me - sometimes I run into my homies and they’re lapping the park, sometimes i get there solo and ride my favorite runs with music in. No matter what I ride the DOA is my board of choice. I have ridden it for years and I trust it. It’s predictable, which is what I want whether i am cruising riding switch, or doing tricks. From fresh cord to jump lines, tree jibs to pointing it through choppy run outs, the DOA lets me go anywhere and do anything I want to. It turns the whole mountain into a playground.
