Douk Snow Uk Description
It’s not often that you would expect to find a snowboard manufacturer in the UK. This is exactly what Douk wanted to change, by not only starting our own brand, but also designing and building the snowboards ourselves.
This first became a dream for founder David Ombler in 2009 as he felt the need for a new challenge after many years coaching snowboarding around the world whilst designing and building handmade custom furniture when there was no snow to ride. The goal was to bring both skills together to design and build the best snowboards possible whilst giving snow sport enthusiasts a unique option by getting a board custom designed.
In2012 the dream became reality as we set up or workshop in the midlands. Since then we’ve been building snowboards our way – with our own hands – for people who will not satisfy for anything but the best! We’ve come a long way in such a short period of time, it hasn’t been easy! We have had lots of ups and downs, sleepless nights and unforeseen setbacks. Nevertheless, Douks core belief hasn’t changed since that first board was pulled from the press: build the best snowboards possible, period.
Our construction has changed little since the start, as we made the choice to build our snowboards the right way from the start; utilizing the best local materials available. Each board is painstakingly built in-house by a very small handful of devoted snowboarders who strive to create the finest constructed and most durable snowboards out there. Even as our production volume increases, we’ll always keep the same hands-on, personal approach to building snowboards. The Douk team are proud of every board that comes off the workshop floor. While we know that our graphics, quality, and finish will make our boards stand out in any shop, we believe that it is how our boards ride that will truly captivate our customers.

excellent quality Hand-made custom boards. 🖖🏻 .....................
Went on the 2 day course - absolutely love it and have my very own custom board made by me :) haven't tried it out yet but can't wait to get to the snow!
Rode the douk range in Slovakia on a douk Camp and was impressed with the quality and durability, wasn't expecting them to be as good as the big brands if I'm honest but they're some of the best boards I've ridden!!
Really good experience making my own board, it was real high quality and rode like a dream ��
Las tablas de snowboard de Douk son una maravilla.Recomiendo a todos. La posiblidad de hacer propio diseño les da un valor añadido.
Just got a custom Justice League board for my anniversary, couldn't be happier...!!!
I purchased a 156 flat camber with custom top/bottom sheets! I put forward my ideas to Dave at Douk and the results he came up with were exactly what I wanted! Shipped internationally and received it within 5 days, the quality of the board is top level, very happy!
Hir the dome on my new Duke last night, Awesome, great performance, so stable - buy one, you'd be stupid not to!!
Great range of DOUK boards testing on a week in Slovakia. To be fair they're right up there... cracking boards with plenty of punch! Big up the DOUK!
Great company David was Brilliant in helping me build my own board, great day and super happy with the board! Thanks!
Great UK based brand that make top quality boards that ride really well, everyone needs to check out DOUK Snowboards
Awesome boards, made by rad people. Tested the whole range on the douk snow camp week can't recommend them enough. Buy one you'll never regret it. Thanks to Doukey Lewey Payne for hosting the camp and showing what these boards can do. Keep rockin out those boards lads.
Amazing time with the DOUK crew, making your own snowboard is an amazing experience. I was fortunate to try out the whole line up on the DOUK camp in Slovakia. I want them all!
3 days into Zermatt & the ASBO 153 I ordered is insanely good, carves beautiful, responds well, tweaks out nicely. If anything it's too good! Don't change a thing, you've made my perfect board.
