The Icon. One of the most famous snowboards of all time.

The Defenders of Awesome series has a big reputation, and these boards back it up. A winner of the most coveted design award in snowboarding for an unprecedented seven years in a row, this model became our #1 selling snowboard and one of the most sought-after snowboards in the world. The D.O.A. features a next-generation hybrid camber design that delivers the pop and response of a cambered board with the predictability of reverse camber and is now available in an extended range of wide sizes.

The P2 Superlight Core™ reduces weight while providing high-impact resistance and maximum pop. With additional construction technology like Fortress™ Aramid Bound Sidewalls and a high-speed Quantum Drive™ base advancing these boards beyond their modest retail price, the D.O.A. series stands proud as the ultimate go-anywhere, do-anything freestyle deck.

I tried DOA and it's really cool because you can do many things with it, going fast, turning, and even doing tricks. I used it with Union Ultra bindings, and it was simple to use and felt nice. You can change up how you attach your boots and still have fun. This snowboard looks modern and attractive. There are different... Read more

I found myself on the capita DOA un the 21/22 season, and here are some of my take away from the board! one thing I noticed immediately was the playfulness of the board, given its stiffer to medium flex date, with the rOcker in the nose and take it really gives this board some life when trying butters, given the...

This board was a blast. This board is built for those high level beginner riders and up looking to explore the mountain and ride a little bit of everything! This board can feel right at home in the park all day or spend its time hitting high speeds and dodging trees. It's a versatile board with a hybrid camber profile... Read more
Ideal for
  • Best for the all mountain rider who wants to ride a little of everything.
  • This board is best for the rider who want a good flexing, stable feeling board.
  • Best for non stop adventures all over the mountain. Park to powder this board can do a little of everything.
Not ideal for
  • Not the best board in deep powder.
  • True twin shape so not quite as much versatility that would be seen in other all mountain boards.
  • Mellow mid flex board so not the most stable board at high charging speeds.

All Purpose, All fFun!

Such a fun board that can go anywhere. Loads of pop, with a very lively feel. Easy to turn. It holds a good edge, yet can still be pressed without too much effort. Defender of the Awesome for life.

I don't know much when it comes to snowboard gear and I was really hesitant to to pick out a few specific boards to try and decide between, but josh gave me a Hollar and was able to help me not only give me boards to decide between, but gave me recommendations between all the gear I will need. Josh is absolutely fantastic and deserves a raise.

Been looking to get some skis for a long time and I was hesitant to pull the trigger. Eventually, my new company offered me a wellness credit that included fitness and ski reimbursement. I came back to Curated and Jonathan updated my curation for me. Great experience as he was super knowledgeable and friendly.

Give Aimee more money!!!

I have never heard of curated until I searched it up for the first time and had no idea that they match you with a REAL expert with years of experience. My experience with Aimee was fantastic and i’m not lying for the review. She was very helpful and friendly as I am new to all of it. We came to a conclusion about gear and prices and it all fit perfectly for me. I definitly hope more people get matched with her as she was a great help. Thanks again and I appreciate the great advice.

I had spent time and narrowed down my preferences, hopped on curated and Chris sent me a message almost instantly and he only ever took him a few minutes to respond. He provided me a variety of options that fit exactly with the preferences I had. He was kind and helped me find my perfect first set up within just a day and a half of messaging. He made the purchasing process a breeze, I will be recommending him and Curated to others.
