Biolite is a foam core and DNA is a balsa wood type core. DNA is lighter, but also isn't as strong. I had an 04 TFD 136 DNA board that took me all of two months this year to snap. It happened on a simple W2W. That's my only experience with DNA boards and it wasn't good.

dna also has 4 carbon rods inside the core for a flex feel

My local boardshop took care of me. I basically traded that board back into them for a Liquid Force Substance. I didn't want another Hyperlite DNA board after snapping on me so quick. It happened on the first day of the three day memorial day weekend on the river so I was pretty ticked about being boardless the rest of the trip. I'm sure the boardshop got Hyperlite to warranty it, but I can't confirm.
