DC Snowboards
This is a review of the DC Tone Snowboard. It’s a Transworld 2011 Good Wood Snowboard winner. It’s going to be a true twin board. It has anti-camber. Has four millimeters of anti-camber. Basically, this thing is flat in between the bindings. Then there’s going to be a four millimeter rising from you foot, to the start of the tip and tail. The stance is centered, of course, because it’s a true twin. You can max this thing out at 25 inches.
It has what’s called a stratus core. The DC tone has a 100% poplar wood, that is vertical laminate from tip to tail. The glass inside this is Quadratic glass. So if you don’t know what Quadratic glass is, it’s pretty much four pieces of woven fiberglass that sandwich that poplar core.
The DC Tone has a flex rating of about a 6 so a little bit stiffer than your average board. But it is pretty rad and one thing that’s great about this is it has a camber core. So DC has decided to do something unique with their reverse camber boards. Inside of it is actually a camber core so the core actually has a little shape like a camber board even though this is technically, an anti-camber board.
One other cool feature about The DC Tone is this thing has side cut radius to flat. Great for riding power. Side cut radius to flat is when the side cut radius continues on to the tip and tail but once it hits right about there, the whole tip is actually flat. It doesn’t continue on with the side cut radius. Pretty awesome little feature. Favorite thing about this DC Snowboard is that cambered core. I’m sure this thing has a lot of pop. This is the DC Tone.
