K2 Darkstar, $399
K2 Darkstar, $399Here’s what the testers had to say:
“K2 did it again, the Darkstar is always one of my favorites. Amazing on jumps, a little stiff on rails, but an awesome board.”
“Really solid and predictable board. It has a stable takeoff and landing. It’s a little stiff to really get a good press on rails. I would ride this board for jumping and high speed ripping.”
“I love this board, super fun, even though I fell 25 feet to flat on my head, it’s not the board’s fault. Hah.”
“A really smooth ride and very responsive.”
“I felt like I had been riding this board all season! The flex was perfect on jumps and pretty good on rails too.”
