Ask Austin a question about this product:

The K2 Special Effects is a short and wide powder board that has a flat to rocker profile. These features along with the swallowtail shape will allow the nose to float above the snow and the tail to sink, keeping riders above the powder on deep days. This board is meant to be sized down, which will create a surfy feeling. Great for any advanced riders who want something to ride on the deepest of days. Key Features:

  • Sintered 4000 Base – This base will be very fast, durable, and able to soak up a lot of wax.
  • ICG™ 10 Biaxial Carbon Glass – These tip-to-tail carbon fiber stringers are integrated into the fiberglass layup for good power transfer and increasing pop, as well as durability.
  • Bambooyah™ Blended Core – This renewable and strong bamboo core makes these board extremely durable and able to maintain good snap and pop.
  • 3D Nose Contour – The 3D contour in the nose helps the board to float, and gives great turn initiation.

The K2 Special Effects was a perfect board for me to fill out my current two board quiver. I recently purchased a 2023 Mega Mercury from Capita, and was looking for something on those really deep days, but also a board I could have fun on any days for those more slashy, and tree oriented turns. The main reason for adding... Read more
Ideal for
  • The 3D shaped nose
  • Powder float, and slashed turns
  • Just good times
Not ideal for
  • Higher speeds on groomers is not the best
  • Very wide, a little slow from edge to edge

I don't know much when it comes to snowboard gear and I was really hesitant to to pick out a few specific boards to try and decide between, but josh gave me a Hollar and was able to help me not only give me boards to decide between, but gave me recommendations between all the gear I will need. Josh is absolutely fantastic and deserves a raise.

5 /5
Been looking to get some skis for a long time and I was hesitant to pull the trigger. Eventually, my new company offered me a wellness credit that included fitness and ski reimbursement. I came back to Curated and Jonathan updated my curation for me. Great experience as he was super knowledgeable and friendly.

I have never heard of curated until I searched it up for the first time and had no idea that they match you with a REAL expert with years of experience. My experience with Aimee was fantastic and i’m not lying for the review. She was very helpful and friendly as I am new to all of it. We came to a conclusion about gear and prices and it all fit perfectly for me. I definitly hope more people get matched with her as she was a great help. Thanks again and I appreciate the great advice.

I had spent time and narrowed down my preferences, hopped on curated and Chris sent me a message almost instantly and he only ever took him a few minutes to respond. He provided me a variety of options that fit exactly with the preferences I had. He was kind and helped me find my perfect first set up within just a day and a half of messaging. He made the purchasing process a breeze, I will be recommending him and Curated to others.

I love that Curated puts you in touch with a real expert. I filled out the profile, quickly heard from Sarah and had a personalized list of snowboards to choose from. Having researched the boards, I found Sarah's comments and suggestions were spot on with what other riders stated about the recommended boards.
