Dupraz D1 - Original - 2010
Summary:
Probably the most radical freeride shape on the market… it has to be seen to be believed. Fashioned by Serge Dupraz, the D1 is designed for effortless float in deep powder without having to shift weight onto the tail and unmatched carving on bashed groomers. The ride of your life on a powder day even if the terrain is a bit flat.
Manufacturer's Description:
The D1 lets you board in a unique way.
Carve new curves, take your performance to the next level, and experience new sensations (or rediscover the pure sensations of sliding from back in the early days). The D1 has made it all possible.
The D1 is like a bomb that explodes softly. It is the result of years of development by an unconventional shaper who realized that the existing snowboards definitely didn’t look like what most people really wanted: a versatile and pointed board (the D1 is actually pointed) and at the same time flexible and terribly eye-catching. Board carvers get a real kick out of these boards as they allow nose presses several kilometers long (record certified by a judge) for youngsters who love to highlight their runs with an awesome three hundred sixty in their loose shells.
The D1 is like a box of deluxe but not expensive chocolates. You know they’re all good and you want to eat them all at once. A board that rides full speed and literally glides on the powder. You can do switch riding as if you were on a real freestyle board (don’t trust appearances!) and on both feet - because it’s not for nothing that you have two legs.
The D1 is like the woman in your life, discover her and you will know…
The D1 is like a poem, a song and a nursery rhyme for children.
The D1 - it’s absolute fun!
