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!
