With a crazy setback, super cut-in swallowtail, and mega-fat nose, the K2 Special Effects Snowboard is the board you reach for when it gets deep. This volume shifted surfboard lives to slash windlips and bounce through pillows. It's rockered and flat through the tail to keep you planing over everything, plus it's backed up with an extra springy bamboo core so you get tons of energy out of every bottomless turn.

Product Details

Rocker Type

Directional Rocker Profile  An all-purpose profile designed to the be 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.

Flex

Flex Rating  7 (1 Playful - 10 Precise)

Shape

Volume Shift™  Volume is moved from the tips and tails of traditional snowboard shapes and placed underfoot where it can be better controlled. This makes a wider, shorter design that maintains the same float and stability of a traditional board, but increases mobility and maneuverability. More slashing and better lines in the trees are now a reality.

Core

Bambooyah™ Blended Core  Renewable and stronger than hell. Bamboo possesses a higher tensile strength than steel and withstands compression better than concrete, and that’s why these boards come complete with a five year warranty.

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.

Base

Sintered 4000 Base  The sintered 4000 base absorbs wax deep into the material for relentless glide and unrivaled durability.

3D Nose Contour  3D contour (spoon) that is gradually blended from the running sur-face deflects soft snow, eases turn initiation, while remaining predictable on hardpack.
