workshop7 Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) I might just be slow...but, are the two birds on the nose of the MK graphic supposed to be an M and a K? I noticed it this morning on the lift. Two seasons with this board and I just now see it. Edited March 23, 2018 by workshop7 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_s Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) Huh, I've always liked the birds (I actually really like the whole topsheet on the MK! :-), but I hadn't noticed that. You may have to contact Joe Hodnicki (http://sharingthestoke.com/post/148376727312/here-is-my-donek-snowboard-in-the-running-for) to ask him! (Don't know if he's a BOL member, or not...)

Pat Donnelly Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 "People often ask where the name Donek came from. When we began making boards in 1987, a friend was breeding Donek Yugoslavian acrobatic pigeons. These birds dive doing an axial roll and fly faster than a peregrine falcon. Their speed, flight, and freestyle nature made the name Donek an obvious choice." 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 The name of the pigeon "Donek" apparently comes from turkish and means "turning and dropping down from the sky", so there's that. Also, the pigeon's wikipedia page has a link to a disambiguation of Donek Snowboards, whose page doesn't exist. This shall be changed.
