The DCDC Devun Pro Snowboard.  I am honored to review this board.  Devun Walsh has been a snowboarder in my life, who I’ve looked up to since I was kid, and that was a very long time ago. Devun is still doing it, still killing it, and he has a board by DC that is the pinnacle of the DC line.  This has everything you want in a board, it has everything you want to be Devun Walsh in a board.  It’s got an anti-camber 2, which means it’s going to be nice and flat outside of the bindings, and then a little bit after the outside of the bindings, it’s going to rise 2 millimeters.  It’s going to stay very, very stable at high speeds – it’s not going to be washy like some other anti-camber or reverse-camber boards.  It has a radius to flat tip and tail shape and it has a couple of notches out.  You’ll see that it has a really cool nose and tail shape.  The radius to flat is a shape that keeps the nose and tail flat, there is no continued side cut radius, there’s no weird bubble on the nose and the tail.  It’s got a centered stance because it’s a true twin-board.  Max settings of 25 inches.  The core is a really cool core;  it’s called the Slugger Core.  It’s got 100% vertical laminate poplar core, with grooves etched out for ash wood.  They call it the Slugger Core because the ash wood that’s used in Louisville sluggers is the same wood that they use in this board, so it’s going to stay really stable when you’re hauling through trunds or if you get balked off a little bit landing a front 12 or something.  This board is going to keep you up.  It also has a camber core, so even though it’s a reverse-camber board, or anti-camber board, there is actual camber wood on the inside of this, holding its shape a little bit and having a little bit better pop as well.  It has carbon quadratics glass, so it has four directional glasses inside that sandwich the core with carbon fiber, as well, so this thing is going to be responsive.  When you step into a turn, it’s going to pop you back.  When you land, it’s going to hold you up, it’s not going to wash you up.  The base is very high-tech;  it’s 7200 center-supreme base with struck turn.  Struck turn is laser etched, it’s a laser-etched base.  Heather dimples, sort of like a golf ball, reducing friction and of course, reducing weight as well.  So this thing is going to stay fast. The DC Devun Pro Snowboard is going to hold wax and another rad thing about it, is that it comes factory waxed by One Ball J.  I love it.  Devun Walsh is one of my heroes – he’s a living legend.  If you buy the DC Devun Pro Snowboard you wont regret it.
