Expert verdict

The K2 Standard is a fantastic choice for those in the beginner to intermediate level of riding, looking for an option that will work now but continue to work as their skills keep taking off. What I love about this board is its forgiving nature, thanks to the catch-free tune and mid-soft flex. It makes learning new tricks and linking turns a breeze. Whether you are looking to take riding to new levels this season or just get out there and have a great time, this board is backed by K2's longevity in the industry. For the quality, smooth ride, and overall abilities of this board, it's an amazing option that I would put anyone on with confidence that they would have a great time.

Looking for the right avenue to build confidence on the hill? The Standard is your secret weapon to developing your skills. Engineered for new riders, built upon a directional twin shape, and kitted up with a Catch-Free™ Tune, the Standard will have you riding regular and switch with the best of em’.

Outfitted with a Rocker Profile (flat between the bindings, and rockered just outside the bindings) the Standard delivers ultra-smooth turn initiation and easy edge release. This buttery feel means fewer falls, more time on hill and faster progression.

The Standard’s core is built from sustainably harvested Aspen, giving it a forgiving flex that allows it to remain playful for popping ollies or hitting your first jumps. Biaxially woven fiberglass hugs the Aspen core, giving the board the edge hold it needs to handle higher speed as you progress and explore new terrain.

Whether it’s your first day on the hill, or you’re working up to black diamonds, the all-mountain K2 Standard is the premier beginner snowboard that will give the confidence to keep coming back for more.

The K2 Standard is the ideal snowboard for any rider looking for a snowboard to help with their progression.

For those experienced riders, this board will help progress your presses and butters while intermediate... Read more
Ideal for
  • With a softer flex, the K2 Standard is a very playful snowboard that is easy to press, butter and flex on.
  • A flat out rocker profile is one of the easier shapes to initiate turns on. This board floats edge to edge effortlessly.
  • For a beginner board, the quality of the Standard will outlast most of the competitors.
Not ideal for
  • The flat out rocker profile can feel a bit loose riding at higher speeds.
  • Without camber the K2 Standard rides more flat and rocks easily back and forth vs locking in on the edges and riding through the rail.
  • Designed to be an approachable snowboard, the Standard is more designed for beginner riders or any experienced rider looking for a softer flex.

Great board to build confidence

Originally posted at k2snow.com on Mar 26, 2024
I am quite new at snowboarding. Earlier I have rented or borrowed friends snowboards. K2 Standard is my first own snowboard. After 4 times in the slope, I can say that I am 100% satisfied with the purchase. It is very forgiving, easy to turn and I truly believe that I am developing faster now, thanks to the board.

Exactly as advertised

Originally posted at k2snow.com on Jan 15, 2024
After 30 years of East Coast boarding, a knee with no cartilage, and 55 years old, I needed an all mountain board made for riding. The K2 Standard allows me to do small jumps and ride walls but has the control and carve I want. Add in the affordability and it’s a perfect board if that’s what you’re looking for. I still have my 30 year old FatBob and ride it from time-to-time but the Standard is a good value and performs as advertised.

Dylan is the man!
5 /5
Only having skateboarding experience, I was weary to buy my first snowboard. Finding Dylan was a huge help as he answered all the questions I had. With his help, I was able to find what size board & profile was right for me. Also, with the additional information during our conversation, I now what what to consider when buying future boards, bindings, and boots. Thank you again Dylan!

I stumbled upon curated while researching what kind of skis to buy via youtube videos - and im SO glad I ended up where I did. Allie guided me through my first adult ski and binding purchase. She answered all my questions, and more. Allie made me feel very comfortable and sure that the purchase I was making was the right one for me. Allie was so kind that I hope to run into her one day on the slopes with the new gear she helped me choose :)

5 /5
Ryan was the absolute best in helping me find my first set of gear as a somewhat beginner snowboarder. I started snowboarding a few years ago and fell in love with it. Eventually renting gear all the time caught up to me and I haven’t hopped on a board in almost 2 years. As I’m trying to get back into it and avoid this problem going forward, Ryan truly made the overwhelming experience of buying a board, boots, bindings, helmets and goggles a freakin breeze. He will help you budget while also finding you the best quality gear. Ryan even took the time to make me a personal video explaining why he chose certain gear for me while also giving multiple options. Anyone and everyone who doesn’t know the ins and outs of this stuff should have someone like Ryan to make the process easier. Thanks again Ryan 🤘🏼

Getting into boarding after skiing most of my life. I have weird skeleton proportions so I got all the answers I needed for which board, bindings, and boots to choose. Great conversation and besides for this site being dope, Tyler seems like someone I'd hit the mountain with any day. Good stuff, great guy, good vibes!

Making a large purchase on a piece of equipment is fraught for a non-expert; Luke took the fear out of the decision, provided a number of recommendations across different price points, and really listened to what I was looking for! This service is excellent, and I deeply appreciate Luke's expertise and recommendations in making this decision!

I have changed my boarding style, and a few years ago i bought a board that does not match my style or weight. I explained everything to Ryan and what I wanted to look to do. He listened and gave great advice and explained his DIRECT experience with some of the products, why he liked them, and why he liked them for me. I felt like he steered me in the direction he thought best for me, not just the highest commission, which ultimately made me hit the add to cart button.
