The K2 Special Effects is a soft snow specialist that can hold its own on groomers, hard pack, and long traverses out to the soft stuff. The nose of the board features 8mm of contour from heel to toe, making it easier than ever before to plane out in deep snow while providing predictable turn initiation regardless of snow or terrain type. This contour helps to deflect snow and slush, eliminating drag, and acting like a plow at the tip of your snowboard. We harness the strength of our tri-wood blend Bambooyah™ Core and wrap it with our ICG™ 10 Carbon Fiberglass - featuring ten tip-to-tail carbon stringers--for an extremely strong, damp, and stable feel. Our Volume Shift™ design philosophy means you can downsize the board 4-10cm from your usual board length without sacrificing float while increasing maneuverability. Underfoot, the tough-as-nails Sintered 4000 is fast, durable, and holds wax much better than extruded base materials. Lastly, our Hybritech™ Sidewalls are the most durable sidewall construction on the market, meaning this pow hunter will remain in your quiver for years to come. - DIRECTIONAL ROCKER PROFILE - An all-purpose profile designed to be the perfect companion for the all-terrain snowboarder. Directional Rocker Profile has medium-rise rocker in the tip, flat in the middle of the board, and low-rise rocker in the tail, allowing for effortless turns on hardpack and ample float in soft snow and crud. --- CATCH-FREE TUNE - By bringing the contact points out of the snow, this beginner-friendly tune ensures linking turns without a catch. This small amount of bevel in the tip and tail aids in more confidence throughout the learning curve and unlocks faster progression on all terrain. - 3D CONTOUR NOSE - 3D contour (spoon) that is gradually blended from the running surface deflects soft snow, eases turn initiation, while remaining predictable on hardpack. Available on both Antidote (3mm) and Special Effects (8mm) models. - Sintered 4000 Base - Absorbs wax easily for relentless glide and unrivaled durability. - Bambooyah™ Core - Renewable and Stronger than Hell – Comes with a 5 Year Warranty - ICG™ 10 Carbon Glass -Integrating tip-to-tail carbon fiber stringers into fiberglass layups ensures a smooth power release in and out of turns while increasing pop, liveliness, and longevity of the snowboard without adding unnecessary rigidity. - -
