CAMBER now comes in all shapes and sizes, from full POWDER ROCKER boards to traditional cambered performance boards. Simply calling a board ROCKER is like saying that a snowboard has sidecut – what, where, shape, and how much CAMBER defines what the board is designed for and where it will excel. At K2, all forms of CAMBER fall under our BASELINE TECHNOLOGY story, which helps easily define what the board is, who it’s for, and what it does. There are six forms of BASELINE TECHNOLOGY: NEW! CATCH FREE, traditional CAMBER, NEW! FLATLINE, JIB ROCKER, ALL TERRAIN ROCKER and POWDER ROCKER. Each BASELINE has a unique performance advantage targeted for a specific riding style and tailored to take every rider to the next level.

Different sidecuts, stances and shapes give our boards many unique handling characteristics. Whether you’re hitting kickers in the park, railing on the hardpack, buttering in the flatlands or learning your first few turns, we have a sidecut profile that will perform for you. Our technology allows us to develop the best geometric combinations to make your days on the hill more fun and less strenuous, keeping you where you wanna be - in control and having fun!

The story with GLASS TECHNOLOGY at K2 is simple. We do whatever we can to create the lightest, strongest and most responsive boards in the industry through the use of ICG (Integrated Carbon Glass), Biax (two weave) and Triax (three weave)

Read our descriptions of each individual type of GLASS TECHNOLOGY below.

EARTH CONSCIOUS CONSTRUCTION We believe it’s important for everyone to do their part as a snowboarder so winter will live on. What’s more important than preserving the best days of our lives? That is why we have expanded our Eco Conscious and Hybrilight construction into the Gyrator, all new women’s EcoPop, and new powerhouse Slayblade.

BLEED GREEN

We believe wood provides the best all around performance of any material out there. All of our woods are renewable resources and our high-end cores come with performance enhancing materials.

All Harshmellow thicknesses work to keep your body at full potential and increase the feel of every product so you can go bigger and ride faster. The combination of all three layers on K2 boards, boots and bindings will be sure to keep you riding S’more.

Our team of engineers is involved in every part of production. From developing lighter, stronger construction technologies to 'field testing' - this crew is focused on two things only: making the industry's best product and HAVING FUN!

Unique in personalities, styles and backgrounds, this season marks a collaboration of their strengths and personal influences. Wendy Woodward has been in this since the beginning; Eva Bonner brings some East Coast flavor and fashion; Kalyn Lepre keeps it fun and exciting; Liz Morton dissects the product inside and out; Gretchen Bleiler speaks from the top and Martina Tscharner challenges our reasoning. One they all have in common? A passion to ride and create.

This is their collection. It is proven and we trust their every effort.
