WORLD WIDE WEAPON

THE ICONIC FREESTYLE DECK REDESIGNED FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF FREESTYLE PROGRESSION

™

Originally designed in 2002 by Travis Parker and the Robot Food era K2 team, the WWW is the original board focused on freestyle creativity. This year with the help of current team rider like Danny Larsen and Jake Kyuzk, we introduce the totally redesigned WWW for the next generation creative progression.

LIFTED BASELINE™

EFFORTLESS POP & STABILITY

Bringing a new level of Pop to K2’s Baseline offering, Lifted is just what it sounds like. Taking the flat between the feet foundation that all our boards are built on and we simply raised it. This brings in the pop of a cambered boards while maintaining the neutrally weighted contact points that give you the straight tracking, effortless precision of a flat board. Once again you can have it all.

FULL TIP TO TAIL PRESS FUNCTION Now in its third year Tweekends has improved the functionality of a lot of our boards. This year we took a deep dive into what Tweekends could do for the Park/Urban/Jib rider. With an ultra smooth blended rocker and tip zone, there is more support and pressing surface then ever. Letting you press and weight in new ways and to new levels.

STANDARD PRESSING CONTROL

Bringing a new level of Pop to K2’s Baseline offering, Lifted is just what it sounds like. Taking the flat between the feet foundation that all our boards are built on we simply raising it. This brings in the Pop of a cambered boards while maintaining the neutrally weighted contact points that give you the straight tracking, effortless precision of a flat board. Once again you can have it all.

TWEEKEND PRESS ZONE ULTIMATE PRESSING CONTROL

K2 pioneered the rocker revolution back in 2005 with the reintroduction of the Gyrator and it’s Powder Rocker Baseline. Since then the Baseline offering has grown but remained consistent and easy to understand. Helping to cut through the Rocker confusion and allowing consumers to quickly understand its benefits and select the right profile for how and where they ride.

Baseline is the line the steel edge makes on the bottom of the board and can be made up of Rocker, Camber, Flat or any combination of these. We offer five different Baselines each tailored to a different type of snowboarding. From the responsive and poppy feel of Precision all the way to dished up BC profile, there is a Baseline that perfectly matches your individual snow sliding style.

MORE FLAT = PRECISE & RESPONSIVE TIGHT HANDLING STABLE FEEL With flat contact points in the tip and tail, Precision Baseline turns and tracks like a traditional camber board but without the unstable hook. By spreading the initial edge contact out over an extended flat contact zone rider applied pressure is dispersed allowing for a feather light touch and quick response without the harsh hook.

Available in: Subculture, Happy Hour, Slayblade, Spot Lite

EASY RIDER STYLE By bringing the contact points out of the snow, turns happen before the edge bites and – voila! – no catch. This small amount of Rocker results in more confidence throughout the learning curve and unlocks faster progression on all terrain.

Available in: K2 Standard, First Lite, Kandi, Mini Turbo, Lil’ Kandi

THE FREESTYLE SOLUTION Freestyle Baseline is a versatile twin Rocker built to dominate any freestyle line. Just enough rise in the tip and tail contact points to create a loose, buttery feel while maintaining instant response and pop.

Available in: Hit Machine, Fastplant, World Wide Weapon, Limelite, Hitmachine Grom, Vandal

SHRED IT ALL IN ONE DAY VERSATILITY Designed for use anywhere on the mountain, All Terrain Baseline allows for effortless turns on hardpack but also provides ample float in softer snow and crud. Designed as a directional Baseline, AT has a medium rise through the tip and a lower rise in the tail. The perfect setup for the multi-purpose rider.

Available in: Ultra Split, Panoramic, Ultra Dream, Turbo Dream, Raygun, Northern Lite, Wowpow, Bright Lite

SOFT SNOW FLOAT & RESPONSE BC Basline delivers the most Rocker for the most snow – enabling you to float through anything while still maintaining a high-level of performance on groomed terrain. A slightly flatter tail adds edge bite and control for critical landings and pointing it at high speeds.

ALL-Terrain Dream TIME

BADBOY SODA ANYONE?

From the dark forests of Norway emerges a Viking bent on snowboarding, a Viking who creatively attacks the streets yet finds solitude in mystic powdery freestyle surroundings. For the latter he chooses the Turbo Dream to accentuate his excitement. The Viking is Danny Larsen and he requires the Turbo Dream’s Tweekend™ baseline and Harshmellow™ dampening for his all-mountain ruin.

It’s becoming harder to keep track of the number of awards the Happy Hour has won over the years. With another under its belt in 2013 you can bet a round at the bar that 2014 will be more of the same. Lifted™ baseline with Tweekend™ and an added Ollie Bar™ provides riders like Danny Larsen and Tim Eddy with the juice they need to mix up the tastiest freestyle concoctions.

BIG MOUNTAIN ENJOYERS PEACEKEEPER “I ride the K2 Peacekeeper because it makes me feel at one with the mountains. No other board has the same control and performance when you get all caught up in a rowdy line, or blasting off a cliff under the chair at Mt. Baker.” – Lucas Debari

ALL MOUNTAIN ENJOYERS Turbo dream “The best board I have ever ridden in powder, a true problem solver instead of causer. I wanted a board that would work as my weapon of choice for getting into nature, and that’s the inspiration for the graphics as well, don’t be the grouse getting attacked by wolves.” – Danny Larsen

FREESTYLE ENJOYERS HIT MACHINE “I like treats a lot and recently I’ve been really into milk and cookies so after kicking around a few ideas this is what my good friend Tylor Macmillan came up with for my graphic, haha. I find his art to be really clever with sometimes no rhyme or reason. It’s just whatever he feels like doing at that point. It’s definitely not serious. Sometimes its cool to have something that just represents what you were into at a certain time in your life even if it’s as stupid as cookies.” – Jake Kuzyk

JIB ENJOYERS WORLD WIDE WEAPON No gimmicks here. Just a real snowboard purpose built for creative jibs of all kinds with great response and feel. The graphic idea came from Payday the cat. She can’t snowboard but she’d like to!

K2 COnstruction TECHNOLOGY

K2 CORE TECHNOLOGY

BAMBOOYAH® is a skate inspired horizontal laminated core. Build for ultimate durability it is offered in two levels each with extra long warranty coverage. Bambooyah for ultimate strength and it’s five year warranty, and Bambooyah Blend, created for models that could benefit from just a little bit of Bambooyah’s incredible strength.

PATENTED HYBRITECH construction Hybritech™ is the most efficient way to make a snowboard without sacrificing one ounce of performance. Featuring sidewall along the running surface that flows into the nose and tail providing low swing-weight, optimized turn initiation, and durability.

ULTRA TECH CONSTRUCTION Designed specifically for the needs of the Splitboarder, Ultra Tech is as tough and lightweight as it gets. Comprised of a molded edge that lands on a half height sidewall optimized to take the abuse of slapping and banging the two “skis” together while skinning. BAMBOOYAH® BLEND

BAMBOOYAH®

HYBRILIGHT Construction K2’s Hybrilight Construction features a thin, constant thickness sidewall designed for maximum performance and minimal material usage. The result is a lighter, more advanced snowboard with significantly less waste produced in manufacturing. Better on hill and greener for the hill.

BC SHAPING

JIBTIP Construction Jib Tip allows you to drop down 5 cm in board size without losing the stability of a longer board. Perfecting jibs, butters, flips, and spins has never been easier.

HONEYKOMB TECHNOLOGY: K2’s Honeykomb cores use a urethane-skinned Honeykomb™ for bonding strength and durability. Always placed on the bottom of the core means you get all the benefits of Honeykomb partnered with the tried and true performance of tip-to-tail, rail-to-rail wood.

ADDITIVES WH4 CORE: The WH4 Core pulls every trick from our bag of core tech. With a greater percentage of Honeykomb than the WH3 Core, it’s engineered to maintain durability at minimal weight.

WH3 CORE: Using the same wood lay up as the W2 core; Our WH3 adds two strips of Honeykomb material between the bindings and the rails. DESIGN THAT STARTS WITH SOFT SNOW Soft snow turns are different. Turns and control comes from not only carving but also pushing and displacing snow. A different turn requires a different shape. With a longer tip blend and delayed initiation of the sidecut, our new BC shaping eliminates the over steering that can come form traditional hard snow based design. Longer tip blendzone This feature allows for a smoother and more controlled line. By initiating a turn on the blend as opposed to on the sidecut, the board is less hooky with less over steering Compact Sidecut Weighting the center of the board engages the rocker specific sidecut of the BC shaping. This now shorter length sidecut (not shorter radius) locks a turn and keeps control at any speed or on any snow pack.

The Ollie Bar is a totally new approach to adding pop to a snowboard. Built in place in a pre-loaded, cambered shape it solves the concern that rocker board don’t have the pop camber boards have. Made with a secret lay up of carbon, Kevlar and glass layers, the ollie bar is positioned in the center of the board between the binding inserts. Strong ollies and pressing power doesn’t come from the tail alone. The backbone center section is actually more critical for smooth even pressure. You gotta try it to believe the pop. ICG GLASS Integrating carbon into the fiberglass reducing overall weight and creating a super smooth release of power while increasing pop and liveliness. Each level of ICG is tailored for the rider at hand and their performance needs. CARBON WEB Designed specifically to enhance Baseline technology, our Carbon Web bring the pop and snap of carbon closer to your bindings for maximum Ollies and control in every situation. Offered in two levels of sensitivity.

W2 CORE: Three species of renewable wood are assembled to optimize strength, reduce weight, and enhance damping without the addition of other materials.

Longer tail blend and shorter tail Allowing the tail to sink without sacrificing switch riding performance. This combo has a super quick skateboard kicktail feel that can pivot in tight trees, but still support you when landing cliffs or slashing high speed turns. Tweekends integration Tweekends compliments this design by mellowing the amount of rocker change in the tip area. Providing a constantly changing geometry that is smooth and predictable. This also eliminated “loop out” when landing in the back seat.

Glass Technology BIAXIAL GLASS The classic structure laminate, biax glass provides the smooth, all-purpose performance. TRIAXIAL GLASS A glass laminate with diagonal layers that stiffens the board torsionally. Giving you improved edge hold and increased stability for those off-axis landings.

SIDECUT TECHNOLOGY

BASE TECHNOLOGY

Different sidecuts give our boards many unique handling characteristics. K2’s Progressive sidecuts are advanced combinations of blended arches fined tuned to make your days on the hill more fun and less strenuous, keeping you in control at all times.

Ø SINTERED • Ultra thin, static eliminating base • Lightweight, lower material usage • Highest quality sintered available anywhere!

HYPER PROGRESSIVE An infinite number of different radius are blended together flawlessly from mellow in the tips, to more aggressive in the center. The result is a super predictable feel that never hooks. Responsive at high speeds and smooth enough to butter your way from the peak to park. DUAL PROGRESSIVE Designed for any level of rider, our Dual Progressive sidecut is a mistake friendly, fun and forgiving sidecut, which allows for more consistent riding in all situations.

116

4000 SINTERED • Fastest natural base material available • Exceptionally Durable • Absorbs deeper & retains wax longer riding in all situations.

W1 CORE: Our W1 core is characterized by a single species of pure wood with proven flex, durability, and snap. This is our standard core for entry to mid level boards.

K2 ECO AWARENESS EARTH CONSCIOUS Construction What’s more important than preserving the best days of our lives? That’s why we’re committed to Earth Conscious and Hybrilight Constructions. A stack up of material selection and elimination technologies that results in 25% fewer plastics used than in the average board.
