I know the snow seems like it months away, and to be honest we are all praying for more of this blissful sunshine, but you must be prepared. Every year we sell out of certain models of snowboards and bindings before we even have the 1st frost on the ground. So this year we’ve got the stock in early to give our customers 1st dibs!!
There are some sick boards this season and some limited editions that won’t be around long.
So here’s a heads up on a few winners. We have personally ridden all of these models and can confidently says you’ll love them. If you don’t, you need to consider joining the dark side and becoming a dirty skier!! “/
So here is K2 Snowboards and Ride Snowboards winners!
For the park riders out there:

THE RIDE SNOWBOARDS MACHETE
As the name suggests, its a killer. It kills everything. All mountain, park riding, powder hunting or even a bit of piste bashing, it kills the lot, it chews out up and spits it out!

THE K2 SLAYBLADE
I’m going to be totally honest with this next board, I didn’t want to like it. I must say, not only because I thought last years graphics sucked…but a FLAT based board???? Ok so we all loved standard camber boards, Then came RC, reverse camber, rocker camber, v rockers, chilly dogs, banana’s and every other name they have….. but a flat based. This just couldn’t work!!!!
WRONG!! It does, oh boy it does! This board goes exactly where you tell it to go, it’s super stable, super fast & no board chatter. Yep, I love this board. Especially as K2 have nailed a sick graphic this year. Pipe, park, piste, powder….YEP SLAYS them all.
You want a race, I’ll race ya, bagsy riding a Slayblade
You may have seen a sneaky peak of this design at the winter Olympics as UK rider Ben Kilner was ripping down the pipe on it.

Any finally…… SOMETHING FOR THE LADIES!!!
It has to be the K2 Va Va Voom
In short, its a Women’s WWW
With the Nikita collab it looks sick! I wish they did this colour big enough for me to ride!
K2 Va Va Voom
For all you rocker haters out there. Before you slate a rocker, ride any K2 or Ride rocker. Let me tell you these guys got it right. Whether its K2’s Jib rocker, all terrain rockers or even there powder rocker, they are all flat between your legs. The rocker starts at you feet! This way you get the control of a standard camber, but the ease of riding and fun of a rocker. The same goes for Ride….. similar bases, different names, Rides low rise, pro rise, and high rise rockers. All flat your legs, rockered at your feet.
Still can’t get your head around it? OK get a K2 flatline base or a Ride Pro rise.
Take a look at next years Never Summer Evo 2010/11. We think this is the best design yet. Love the pink base. Its sure to make the snow glow neon pink when you’re buttering down the mountain. We have this board in the shop as it has just come back from one of the big gadget magazines for review. I don’t want to give it back!!!
