f your riding takes you from groomers to pow and back again, you need to the K2 Excavator Snowboard in your life. It's ideal for freeriders who need one board to rule them all, or those who don't have the time, energy, or space to maintain a huge quiver of niche boards. This stylish directional board has a huge nose, a slight swallowtail, and a smooth al dente flex pattern with just the right blend of camber underfoot and rocker up front. It's an all mountain ripper with a penchant for laying trenches – what more could you want?

Product Details

Rocker Type

Directional Camber Profile  The most responsive camber profile in the line features camber running from in front of the front foot to the tail of the board with slight early rise in the nose. This gives the rider the most precision and control possible in any terrain while still floating effortlessly in the deep stuff.

Flex

Flex Rating  7 (1 Playful - 10 Precise)

Shape

Volume Shift™  Size down 4-6cm from your uaual snowboard length.

Core

S1 Core  The smooth-flexing cousin to the A1 core, K2's new S1 core in designed to be damp underfoot and stronger than hell. Constructed from bamboo, aspen, and paulownia, the S1 core lets each wood do what it's best for. Tip-to-tail bamboo stringers add snap, durability, and dampening underfoot, and are balanced out by lightweight paulownia in the midbody, tip, and tail to help reduce swing weight. Underfoot, aspen and bamboo are placed at 30° angles to increase strength, supercharge edge-to-edge response, and increase pressure distribution along the edge.

Laminates

ICG™ 10 Biaxial 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.

Carbon Power Fork™  Pre-cambered Carbon Power Fork™ additives are strategically shaped to offer greater response and energy return by increasing the width toward the tail - allowing for more material to be engaged, and more energy to be created the harder the tail is flexed. Adds snap to ollies, increases edge pressure, and gives energy in and out of turns.

Base

Wax-Infused Sintered 4001 Base  Built using the hardest and fasted sintered base material on the market, the Wax-Infused Sintered 4001 Base holds wax longer than other sintered bases for smoother, longer lasting glide.

Topsheet

SnoPhobic Topsheet  Helps eliminate snow buildup when it gets deep.
