I purchased a custom Knapton Twin last year and then tire process was outstanding. The quality of these boards is superior for their intended purpose. As a fairly new rider, this board has completely helped in reaching another level of enjoyment and skill. I plan on continuing the journey and picking up a wider board in the future.

Fantastic snowboards! The only company we found making race boards in the US. Wonderful customer service and really cool that each board is custom made.

Got custom board from Sean and Donek. First - they put the person in personalized. When I called I spoke to Sean. And he asked about me (riding style, where I ride as in part of the globe, ability) another person. Not just focusing on park, hips, jibs, etc. I know that my board is mine as it fits multiple facets of me and what I want.Next - the craftsmanship look and feel of my board is that of a taylored suit. At 6' 6" / 250+ with size 15 boots there's not a board out there that I can grow on. Most force me unto a smaller fit. Donek made me my 180 with the 28.7 waist (find that in any shop) and even took my designs for top and base.So the elephant in the room is cost...but if you want a 1 off you should pay more. A Ruth's Chris steak don't taste like a Whopper. But they did offer cheaper models to me and did not have too. I am exceedingly pleased with Donek and Sean in the way my case was handled from start to finish.

I ordered my Knapton Twin the night before Thanksgiving 2021. I received the board 7 days later, no joke. If you want the ability to rip turns in virtually any conditions, Donek is where it's at.

I bought my custom built Donek snowboard halfway through last season and I am ecstatic with the ride. It is wide enough that I don't drag toes or heels when extreme carving and long enough side cut radius that it is stable and able to carve huge turns at speed. Loving this board. Working with Sean was great and the build is excellent and I have my graphics on the topsheet that makes it fun to look at as well as to ride. Thank you Sean, Donek Snowboards are the Best!

Donek Snowboards rule! I have had my new board from them for about month and I couldn't be happier. The engineering and buying process of the board was very smooth. They communicated great through each step of the engineering/construction process. They were also quick to respond to questions I had along the way. The board I purchased was a Donek Flux and holy crap this board is insanely awesome. Sean Martin has definitely created magic with this beast of a board. The board holds an edge so well. It is awesome to lay a turn over without the fear of booting out. I'm getting deeper into my turns everyday as I get more confident on the board. The board also charges!!! It got up past 50 mph (** on that snoww tracking app) and it felt really sturdy even through crud. Taking it off the table tops and small drops it also provides a soft landing, which my knees definitely appreciate. Here is a picture that shows the edge hold on the board. You can really lay down trenches on the groomers. Thank you to Donek team. Winter has gotten even better.

I contacted Donek in regards to building a Knapton twin. I was greeted by Sean who got things rolling right away. He was extremely knowledgeable and picked out the perfect settings for my board.Sure, you may be paying a little extra, but why buy a standard board that doesn’t suite you? You will NOT be disappointed with Donek and their amazing products. I opted to put my own graphic on the board and I was absolutely speechless when it arrived (almost didn’t want to ride it). That being said, it rides like a dream and after day one on the hill I could notice an immediate change in the way I rode the mountain.If you are on the fence or considering Donek snowboards; pull the trigger! You will not be disappointed. From start to finish you are updated as your board is being built and it’s a very 1 on 1 experience. You truly feel valued as a customer.Thank you again to Sean, Ryan and the whole Donek team! I will be a returning customer!!CheersMat

Thank you team Donek for the beautifully-crafted Flux! My primary snowboarding discipline is certainly hardboot riding but I do enjoy the diversification of riding in softboots. The Flux is a great option for the carving-oriented snowboarder who is looking to rip the entire mountain! My daughter & I kicked off our season on 12/2 at Mt. Hood Meadows and I got my first turns on the Flux in the AM. Pre-purchase, Ryan Knapton got me pumped for this board with his YouTube review. 100% agree with him that Donek captured a bit of magic in this board. The carving power, easy initiation of turns, stability, dampness, & high velocity capacity are truly phenomenal. After the AM inaugural session on the Flux, I went back to the car & switched to hardboots and my MK (couldn’t resist on the first day of the season with excellent groomers?). Talk about dynamic duo!! For the aggressive seasoned powerful carver who is open to both hardboots AND softboots, the combo of the Donek MK & Flux is likely unparalleled in the industry IMHO! Much gratitude to Sean and the Donek crew for all you do!

Never do business with Donek Snowboards. I scheduled a trip with them to do a snowboard group clinic in Colorado Copper Mountain with Ryan Knapton and Giri Watts. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, they cancelled it and decided to charge everyone 10% of the cost for something they cancelled -- which isn't a small amount. Please share this, this is deplorable business practice. Luckily American Express finds this offensive and will be taking this fee back. Amex knows what the right thing to do is in these times. During tragic times is when you see how businesses treat people.

Great snowboards, and world wide shipping! Already ordered two (one for me and one for my wife). Both are so super great! Sean does an amazing job in making sure your board is fitting you 100%!!
