I personally believe that the 2023 K2 Afterblack is a go to board for anyone who finds themselves in the park or in the streets more often than anywhere else. The traditional camber medium flex board has great pop, and an extremely fast sintered base that holds wax quite well. The board has rode great 100+ days on snow and concrete. Keep the board in good shape and it can deliver as a perfect daily quiver.
Ideal for
- park, street riders.
- beginner to advanced level rider.
- extremely fast sinterted base.
Not ideal for
- upon riding the board became more soft over the days
- careful on the tips, as the construction is capped.
The K2 Afterblack Snowboard is the perfect choice for intermediate-to-advanced level snowboarders who want to take their freestyle game to the next level. This premium snowboard is designed for night missions, wall rides, and giant airs, giving you the confidence to push your limits and go for that one more go. With its Combination Camber Profile, tri-blend BAP Core, tip-to-tail triaxially woven fiberglass and Carbon DarkWeb™, and Sintered 4000 base, this board delivers a playful feel while still being able to hold speed and track straight into the next feature.
Key Features:
- Tri-blend BAP Core: bamboo, aspen, and paulownia woods deliver snap/rebound while damping vibration.
- Tip-to-tail triaxially woven fiberglass & Carbon DarkWeb™: stability & edge control for popping off lips/sending big side hits.
- Sintered 4000 Base: fast & durable; soaks up wax ensuring enough speed to send you well past knuckle/down to a sweet spot in landing.
- Australian artist Marcus Dixon's graphic design: clean tip/tail with plenty of real estate for sticker placement; classic sequence layout between feet pays tribute to print magazines/ads of years past.

Vincent done did it again! Had a friend refer me and boy was it the best decision ever. Vincent was very knowledgeable and definitely catered to my needs. He didn’t send the most expensive bindings and hoped for the best. I told what I was looking for and delivered. Not one or two options but many options. I definitely recommend him as your expert!

5 /5
Kyle was extremely helpful and patient in guiding me through the shopping experience. He sent me multiple videos reviewing snowboards, boots, and bindings based on my needs. He was open to feedback and questions, and ensured that I made the best choice for my needs. I'd highly recommend Kyle for anyone looking for a friendly expert to guide them through buying their snow gear!

I had insomnia that night and found the Curated for the first time. I was curious about contacting an expert who turned out to be Andrew at 4 AM PST. I expected to get an answer a few hours later since it was in the middle of the night. I turned off my computer and went into bed he responded a few minutes later. Hopefully, I didn't wake him up, or maybe he's on EST time but either way, he's on his game.

I had many questions, and after a few days we finally got stuff figured out. Throughout the whole process he was very helpful and knowledgeable which is defiantly better then going to facebook marketplace. I tried that, but the information from an expert just helps much more. I would defiantly recommend Ryan to other customers.

I very much enjoyed working with Leo on my ski purchase. I had done some research on my own but had not settled on a particular ski. I came across Curated by accident and did not know I would be connected to a live person - and someone who is quite knowledgeable as well! Leo listened to what I was looking for and put together some recommendations personalized for me. I was able to review these on my own schedule and later discuss my questions with Leo to finalize my selection. I’ll definitely recommend Leo and Curated to friends and will be back for my next pair of skis!

Leo’s not a robot!
5 /5
I was super skeptical of this website at first I assumed the suggestions were just from an AI generated bot, but Leo is definitely a real human and a knowledgeable one at that! He knew the area i ski in maine and made suggestions based off my skill level and northeast conditions. Can’t wait to take my new gear out in a few months!

I wanted to talk about how happy I am with my experience here at Curated and with my expert Bernard. Bernard was very helpful and knowledgeable about the equipment I was looking for, and provided different ideas on how I can make my skiing experience even more enjoyable! Bernard really is an amazing Ski Expert and I will definitely buy new gear from him from now on! Thanks Bernard!

Having some experience snowboarding but never owning my own equipment, I had lots of questions and needed a lot of help. I’m so glad I found curated and Josh! He was able to educate me and guide me through the process…and made sure I got a super deal. He always responded promptly and was patient with my never ending questions. All the gear is perfect, we can’t wait to hit the mountain!
