The K2 Special Effects Snowboard is your go-to board for the deepest powder days. Its mega-fat nose, setback stance, and swallowtail shape make it perfect for slashing through windlips and bouncing over pillows, while an elongated Directional Rocker profile and extra springy Bambooyah™ core deliver tons of energy out of every every bottomless turn. Surf's up!
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 Rating – 7 (1 Playful - 10 Precise)
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. Size down 4-6cm from your uaual snowboard length.
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.
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.
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.

The K2 Bond Snowboard Bindings are an all new offering that leans hard into sustainable manufacturing processes. Think highbacks and straps made from castor beans, and footbeds made from scrap sugarcane. That would be awesome enough, but the fact that they absolutely rip, too? Say no more. If you want to shred with a clean conscience, the K2 Bond Snowboard Bindings are the only way to go.
Flex Rating – 7 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Module™ Chassis – Featured on all K2’s new bindings, the Module chassis is composed of a fiberglass infused nylon, and minimizes “dead” board flex zones directly underneath the binding. This in turn allows the rider to feel the flex and response of the entire board length, while providing maximum support, security, comfort, and vibration damping.
3° Sugarcane EVA Canted Harshmellow™ Footbed with Pods – Derived from scrap native sugarcane raised with minimal impact on rainforests, the footbeds on the Module chassis represent a huge leap toward the goal of carbon net-neutrality. Integrated with K2’s proprietary Harshmellow™ technology, these eco-conscious footbeds provide grip, cushion, and performance for all day riding in every condition.
This Grips™ Basepad – K2’s proprietary rubber compound, integrated onto the bottom of the Module chassis, provides vibration damping and cushion between board and binding, reducing fatigue and joint impact.
Team Highback – K2’s new Team Highback harnesses the strength and sustainability of the castor bean, and represents a huge step toward the goal of carbon net-neutrality.
Forward Lean Block
Single Density Ankle Strap – K2’s new single density ankle strap harnesses the strength and sustainability of the castor bean, and represents a huge step toward the goal of carbon net-neutrality.
Single Density Toe Strap – K2’s new single density toe strap harnesses the strength and sustainability of the castor bean, and represents a huge step toward the goal of carbon net-neutrality.
MultiMount™ Ankle Strap Mount Points – Featured on the Module™ Chassis, mulitple mount points for the ankle strap on the Module chassis allow for a fine-tuned, custom fit.
