Built around a wider perimeter with a dual-radius sidecut, the K2 Excavator snowboard specializes in digging deep trenches on groomers and keeping things floaty and playful in powder after a storm.
- Wider profile allows riders to size down around 5 cm from their usual length without sacrificing performance
- Extra width and 20 mm taper benefits riders with larger feet, reducing toe drag on deep carves and long traverses
- Combination of a smooth-flexing S1 Core and tail-to-tail ICGâ„¢ 10 Biax glass keeps the board responsive and damp underfoot
- Smooth-flexing S1 Core is designed to be damp underfoot and incredibly strong; constructed from bamboo, aspen and paulownia
- Aspen and bamboo are placed at 30° angles underfoot to increase strength, supercharge the edge-to-edge response and increase the pressure distribution along the edge
- Tip-to-tail bamboo stringers add snap, durability, and damping underfoot and are balanced out by lightweight paulownia in the midbody, tip and tail help to reduce swing weight
- Pre-cambered Carbon Power Forksâ„¢ in the tail allow for an energy boost in and out of turns and adds extra pop for takeoffs and landings
- ICG 10 Biax carbon glass has integrated carbon fiber stringers that run the length of the board to increase the snap without adding unnecessary rigidity
- Built with the hardest, fastest sintered base material from Crown, the wax-infused Sintered 4001 base holds wax longer than other sintered bases for a smoother glide
- Backed by years of rigorous testing, Hybritechâ„¢ construction is eco-friendly, lightweight and durable
- Hybritech construction removes all excess plastic material in the tip and tail and adds a 3D capped edge
- This increases the bond strength of the fiberglass, decreases the swing weight of the board and reduces thousands of pounds of plastic needed during the manufacturing process
- Boards with Hybritech are designed to spin faster, maneuver easier and last longer
- Volume Shiftâ„¢ reduces swing weight and toe/heel drag by shifting surface area from the tip and tail to the waist of the snowboard
- Manufacturer recommends downsizing 4–10 cm from your usual snowboard length
- Snowboard deck and base colors may vary from online photo
