PRODUCT DETAILS
PRODUCT DETAILS
Named for its intended use, the 2023 K2 Excavator Snowboard specializes in digging deep trenches on groomers and displacing powder after the storm cycle. Built around a mid-wide outline with a dual-radius sidecut, the K2 Excavator snowboard caters to the advanced level rider looking for a directional snowboard to carve on groomers and float in the soft snow. The wider profile of the Excavator allows riders to size down ~5cm from their usual snowboard size and allows you to get all of the performance out of a longer board without the extra swing weight. This extra width and 20mm of taper benefits riders with wider feet, reducing any “booting out” on those deep corduroy carves and long traverses. Inside the Excavator,the smooth-flexing S1 Core keeps it responsive and damp underfoot, and it’s topped with ICG 10 Carbon Glass with tip-to-tail carbon stringers. This technology keeps the snowboard relaxed torsionally for easy turn initiation, but also helps to add snap over the entire length of the board. Pre-cambered Carbon Power Forks in the tail help for an energy boost into and out of turns and those spontaneous “Slow Sign” ollies. All of this tech is sandwiched between a super-fast wax-infused sintered base, waxable and supremely durable P-Tex sidewalls, and a snow-shedding SnoPhobic topsheet that keeps the whole package fast and light.

SHAPE
- Twin - The nose of the snowboard is the same shape and rise as the tail to ride the board in either direction and balanced freestyle riding.
- Directional Twin - The nose of the snowboard is the same shape and rise as the tail with the binding inserts set back for more surface area in the nose and versatility when riding in different snow conditions and terrain.
- Directional - The nose is typically longer and/or wider than the tail for float in powder and downhill riding.
