I love them. I will keep them no matter what. Hopefully they are not
too flexy for the Donek, and the Donek won't take *too* much effort to
turn slowly if I use good technique.

I will let you know if I go for the Donek!


You'll be fored into good technique with the Donek, like it or not. This
was by far the biggest adjustment I had to make to my riding when I bought
my Donek Wide midseason last year, after spending my first year of learning
on a low priced flimsey piece of carboard. It honestly took me 5 or so days
on the snow to fully adjust and feel 100% comfortable with knowing how to
make the Donek do exactly what I wanted it to. I probably didn't know what
good technique was before riding this board, probably because I never needed
to know. And before I really figured it out, I was fighting with it at slow
speeds and initially got quite frustrated. But just like learning anything
else, eventually things fell into place, and that's when the real fun began!
