The Curated Take

By the Expert Community

The K2 instrument is a great choice for an intermediate rider looking for a one board quiver. It can tackle pretty much everything you throw at it. It has exceled for me in the trees but I have taken it pretty much everywhere. It has mellow camber and a lot of rise before the nose, so it doesn't feel too "locked in" or "catchy" but still has great edge hold. Even with its directional shape I find riding switch on the instrument still feels very natural. While it is not a true hill bomber, it still feels very damp/steady at speed. The only thing I wish is that is board had a bit more pop to play around in the park. Overall, it is a Jack of all trades which makes it perfect for a one board quiver.

Ideal for
  • All condition directional board
  • Intermediate friendly
  • Great carving ability
Not ideal for
  • Less pop than some other K2 boards

The K2 Instrument Snowboard is the perfect tool for those who love to improvise on the mountain. With a traditional camber line and Volume Shift™ design, this directional model allows you to lay trenches on groomers while remaining responsive. The board features a longer radius in the tip for easy turn initiation and a deeper sidecut underfoot for hard arcing turns. The .75” inch (1.9 cm) setback and 20mm of taper help it plane out in deep snow.

Key Features:

  • Sintered 4000 Base with Full 360-Degree Wrap Steel Edge.
  • Bambooyah™ Core for Durability and Dampness Underfoot.
  • Carbon Torque Forks™ for Responsive Power Transfer.
  • ICG™ 10 Biax Fiberglass with Tip-to-Tail Carbon Stringers for Chatter Reduction.

Hayden was super helpful
5 /5
I came onto this website not sure what to expect, and I'm walking away with a new pair of skis and bindings that I am confident will work great for me. Hayden was super knowledgable on the many types of skis and helped me with the many many questions I had for him. He was also super fun and light hearted which made my buying experience that much better. I will definitely be recommending Hayden and this website to others looking to buy skis, and will appreciate all he did for me :)

I needed to get some snowboards for my boys for Christmas. Christian recommended a few different options then he explained in a video why he chose those products so I could make a decision. He was very knowledgeable and I appreciated him finding me the best deal he could. He was awesome and I would recommend him to everyone!

Vince was all around the best
5 /5
Vince and I went back and forth for over a week finding me the perfect gear. He was dedicated to finding me the best deals for my needs, and he was always great with giving me multiple recommendations. When things I wanted went out of stock, or when my original boots didn't fit, he made sure to find me an equally amazing product. I felt cared for and valued as a shopper, and what is the best in my book, is that it was all so humanized as I NEVER felt like I was being pressured into buying anything, which so many retailers do. This guy knows what he is talking about and will make sure you feel confident in your gear purchases!

Jennifer was amazing!

This was our first time not going into an in person shop to purchase gear. Jennifer was knowledgeable and gained my trust to purchase online rather than in person. Would highly recommend (and actually already have) to friends because the experience was effortless and seamless. Thanks Jennifer!
