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?

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.
