The Alloy D.O Carbon is an even stiffer meaner version of the D.O BC and DO 7X.  It’s not the kind of board I/we usually ride and it’s a lot of board to handle.  It’s hard to rate a board like this and it’s not something similar to anything else I ride in the season.  If you ride this kind of board you will probably know if it’s right for you or now.  Of the three of these, I tried my personal favorite was the full camber version called the DO BC.  I loved the way that turned and it felt like it had more of a natural turning radius to it where the D.O Carbon felt like it had a turning radius that would change when the passive rocker in the middle would come in contact with the snow. Conversely, it felt like it had a more powerful/stable straight line which I didn’t think was possible. Riding a board like this is definitely a humbling experience.
