The K2 Slayblade snowboard is team rider Eero Niemela's attack deck of choice. This season's Slayblade is tuned with Harshmellow smoothness and built with indestructible pop.

Flatline camber provides smooth and equal pressure everywhere, creating the perfect balance of stability and versatility; contact edges are 100% flat to the snow
Hyper Progressive sidecut mellows out the transitions, leaving you with a predictable, all-around board; make ultrafine adjustments at any speed and in all conditions
Directional twin shape provides plenty of overall float and control, offering a balanced ride that's equally versatile ridden regular or switch
Hybrilight construction minimizes the overall amount of materials used to unleash lightweight precision, powerful response and buttery-smooth performance
Harshmellow technology employs a thin layer of a synthetic polymer to damp the vibrations experienced while riding at high speeds
WH4 wood core, with generous Honeykomb material between the bindings and rails, provides a fine-tuned response; it's engineered to maintain durability with minimal weight
Bamboo is blended into the core for increased strength and added durability
Carbon webs near binding area maximize ollie pop and control in all situations
A pre-loaded, camber-shaped Ollie Bar is placed in the center backbone section between the bindings to enhance ollie pop and pressing power
ICG 20 base integrates carbon into the fiberglass, reducing overall weight and creating a supersmooth release of power
Triaxial glass laminated in directional layers adds torsional stiffness, improving edge hold and increasing stability during off-axis landings
0 Sintered Base is an ultrathin, super-conductive base; lightweight with lower material usage, it's the highest quality sintered base offered by K2
Snowboard deck and base colors may vary from online photo

Please note: K2 products can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.

Comments about K2 Slayblade Snowboard - 2011/2012:

I've mostly riden Burton boards over the last 18 years and decided to try something else. There are two problems with this board:

1 - After 4 runs, both edges had a crease right where the tail tip begins to curve up. Definitely a manufacturing defect. I guess you could argue I just got a bad board.

2 - Much more important than #1, the way the hole pattern is set up on this board, you can't get your bindings into a pow stance. I had the front binding all the way back and had to move the back binding two posisions over and the stance was still too wide. I'm six feet tall, so it's not because my legs are too short.

Not sure what K2 was thinking here, but no way this is a powder board.
