K2 Happy Hour Snowboard

The Happy Hour is the result of leaving the team alone to do what they want with each and every element of this all-new deck. A bit scary really. The end result is the most bizarre genius fun board K2's ever seen.

2011-2012 K2 Happy Hour Snowboard Key Features:

Flatline Technology - Demanded by the international pro team and proven through multiple awards, K2 is the lead developer of this board profile. Preloaded, stable, and turn-ready, Flatline promotes a supremely balanced, smooth ride for both aspiring and accomplished pros.

Hybritaper Construction - Hybritaper takes K2’s Hybritech Construction and tapers out the core at the tip and tail to reduce the swing weight. By blending the tips from a cap into a thin sandwich, K2 was able to remove material where you don’t need it.

WH3 Core - Three species of renewable wood are assembled for optimal strength, reduced weight, and enhanced dampening. The WH3 core includes two strips of Honeykomb material between the bindings and the rails. Honeykomb technology is simply stronger, lighter and damper than the wood it replaces. K2 maintains the tip to tail, rail-to-rail wood performance by inserting Honeykomb only on the lower surface of the core. You get all the benefits of Honeykomb without that tin can feel.

Carbon Web I - Designed specifically to enhance K2's Baseline Technology, this all new Carbon Web brings the pop and snap of carbon closer to your bindings for maximum ollies and control in every situation. Carbon Web is offered in two different levels of sensitivity, I or II.

Ollie Bar - The Ollie Bar is a totally new approach to adding pop to a snowboard. Built in place in a pre-loaded, cambered shape, this bar solves the concerns that rocker boards don't have the pop that camber boards have. Made with a secret lay up of carbon, Kevlar and glass layers, K2's 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.

Triax Fiberglass Lay Up - This glass laminate adds diagonal layers that stiffen the board torsionally, yielding improved edge hold and increased stability for those off-axis landings.

Integrated Carbon Glass 10 (ICG 10) - K2 has integrated carbon into the fiberglass reducing overall weight and creating a super smooth release of power while increasing pop and liveliness. Each level of ICG (10, 20 or 30) is tailored for the rider at hand and their performance needs.

Twin Hyper Progressive Sidecut - An infinite number of different radii 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 the park.

4000 Sintered Base - Featuring the fastest natural base material available, K2's 4000 Sintered base is exceptionally durable and absorbs wax deeper, retaining it longer.
