The 2008 K2 Podium Wide Snowboard gives riders with big feet uncompromising all-terrain performance. This K2 board's sidecut starts out mellow at the tips and gets more aggressive near your feet, which provides the stability to straight-line chutes in the backcountry and the responsiveness to handle quick, tight turns in the trees or in the park. Carbon torsion forks and carbon strips deliver stability at super high speeds and powerful pop for ollieing onto rails or off cliffs. K2 blended the cap tip and tail into the sidewall for low swing weight, so you can finally get that last rotation on your 900 attempts. The K2 Podium's sintered 4000 base and one-degree base bevel offer superior glide, which lessens the chance you'll get stuck on the flats during a long traverse. The 2008 K2 Podium Wide Snowboard is the ideal ride for beginning to advanced big-footed boarders who blur the line between freeride and freestyle.
- Hyper Progressive Sidecut:K2’s most aggressive, yet versatile sidecut. A very gentle radius in the tip and tail are blended to a tight radius in the center of the board. Whether you want to relax and bomb with confidence or carve circles around your buddy, this sidecut puts you in control of your turns.
- S-Class Technology:Taking full advantage of every moment you experience on snow, whether it's your first few turns or that last high-speed mission, S-Class technology is engineered to keep your legs at full potential for strong riding all day long. K2’s patent pending feature incorporates a vibration-absorbing layer, giving your muscles a well-deserved break from any and all board chatter. One more run anyone?
- Polar Core:The lightweight strength and liveliness of the Multi Core but with added damping pads isolated under each foot. The pads isolate the inserts into the top of the core, which cuts vibrations leading to the foot, and gives you a flatter, faster base by reducing "base suck-up."
