Product Info
You've got the K2 Special Effects Snowboard, now all you need is 2 feet of blower. This ultra-fat powder shape is ready-made for the deep stuff, with an elongated rocker-flat profile and more surface area than you can shake a stick at. K2 throws all the tech in their ample arsenal at this board, with ICG™ 10 Carbon Glass and the legendary Bambooyah™ core taking center stage, plus their top-end Sintered 4000 base for the best in running speed and wax retention.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Directional Rocker Profile – Long tip rocker with zero camber
Flex
Playful or Precise? – 7 (1 Playful - 10 Precise)
Shape
Volume Shift™ – Volume is moved from the tips and tails of traditional snowboard shapes and placed it 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.
3D Contour Nose – 8mm of Contour that gradually blends from the running surface to maintain a predictable ride on hardpack snow and unmatched performance in the soft stuff.
Core
Bambooyah™ Core – Snowboard cores inspired by skateboards because of their horizontal bamboo lamination. Renewable and Stronger than Hell – Comes with a 5 Year Warranty
Laminates
ICG™ 10 Carbon Glass – Increases pop, liveliness, and longevity of the snowboard without adding unnecessary rigidity
Base
Sintered 4000 Base – Sintered 4000 base absorbs wax deep into the material for relentless glide and unrivaled durability.
Binding Compatibility
2 x 4 Inserts

Terrain
Freeride Freeride snowboards are designed for the rider that spends most of the day off groomed runs and in backcountry terrain. They typically have a stiffer flex and are ridden in longer sizes than freestyle snowboards. Freeride snowboards often feature a directional shape that is designed to perform optimally in one direction. Powder Powder snowboards love powder. Often associated with freeride snowboards, powder boards sometimes feature a wider nose and a tapered narrower tail. The binding inserts, which determine the rider's stance, are often set back on a powder snowboard to help the rider float the tip of the board through the deep stuff. Powder snowboards sometimes also feature rocker, a design element where the tip (and tail) rise starts farther back on the board, which also helps the rider maintain tip float through the pow.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Flex Rating:
Stiff

Flex Rating
Stiff The amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers' number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.
