the K2 Afterblack is a premium freestyle snowboard that specializes in night missions, wall rides, and huge airs, and promises to come through in the clutch to give you the confidence to give it one more go. This freestyle twin features a mid-flex and our Combination Camber Profile--cambered in between the bindings with just the right amount of rocker outside the inserts--to give it a playful feeling while still being able to hold speed and track on the big jump line. Its all-wood BAP Core blends three species of sustainably harvested wood--bamboo, aspen, and paulownia--to deliver snappy pop and rebound while damping vibration on drop-ins and long in-runs. Tip-to-tail triaxially woven fiberglass harmoniously integrates with Carbon DarkWeb™ stringers extending from the binding inserts to both the toe and heel side edges, giving the Afterblack stability and edge control for popping off lips and sending big side hits. To top it off, the fast and durable Sintered 4000 base soaks up wax to ensure you’ll have enough speed to send you well past the knuckle and down to the sweet spot in the landing.

Base colors may be assorted per size in colors shown.
By blending both traditional Camber and Rocker profiles, Combination Camber gives you all the benefits of both; the pop and precision camber, and the float and predictability of rocker.
BAP Core: three species of renewable timber to assemble a core that's strong, lightweight, and designed to enhance dampening without the addition of other materials.
Triaxial Glass: A glass laminate with diagonal layers that adds torsional stiffness for increased stability and improved edge hold. The three layers of fiber are woven at 45, 45, and 90 degrees, creating a more forgiving flex pattern.
Carbon Dark Web: A carbon fiber lay-up that aids in energy transfer and stability, speeding up edge-to-edge transitions and keeping you in control in times of need.
Sintered base is an ultra-thin, conductive base for a lightweight snowboard and lower material use.
