      Hey,I was wondering what you guys thought of this boot.  08 K2 Prime Boa. What is a Boa? is it just part of the name?And most importantly, this boot has one of those dials on the front that tightens the wires when you turn it.  It's hella cool!I was wondering if you guys heard anything about whether or not these dials break easily?-Josh Yu

        Boa is when “the dial on the front tightens the laces”  🙂  A thing or two is said about them at this topic http://www.frostyrider.com/boards/index.php/topic,103.0.html

          Boa is the name of the patented system found on various models of snowboard boots (K2, Vans, DC, Flow, ThirtyTwo, and many other brands) .  Boa uses thin cables and a tightening knob in place of traditional laces.  As with most snowboarding technology, it has gotten much better in recent years.  I heard of some reports of breakage years back, but not some much with todays Boa systems.  See some examples of Boa Boots here.
