K2 Slayblade Snowboard

The Slayblade is K2 Team rider Eero Niemela's attack deck of choice tuned up with Harshmellow smoothness. This deck is now built for even more critical forces and long term use with its new Bambooyah Blend Core and added power boost of the Ollie Bar. It's the same great style, now with indestructible pop.

2011-2012 K2 Slayblade 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.

Harshmellow Technology - K2's proprietary vibration dampening system is back again. The industries first high performance dampening system mellows the harshness of impacts and vibrations you feel while riding. This thin layer of Harshmellow synthetic polymer is designed specifically for your snowboarding needs to decrease high frequency vibration associated with riding at high speeds.

Hybrilight Construction - K2's exclusive 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. Greener.

Bambooyah Blend WH 4 Core - K2 has expanded their Bambooyah core into more models this year, and in different amounts with the introduction of the Bambooyah Blend Core. A little Bambooyah goes a long way, so the Bambooyah Blend has been combined with K2's WH4 core to keep this deck shredding stronger for longer. With a greater percentage of Honeykomb than the WH3 Core, the WH4 core is engineered to maintain durability at a minimal weight. 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. Snowboards featuring the Bambooyah Blend Core come with a 2 year warranty.

Carbon Web II - 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 20 (ICG 20) - 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.

0 Sintered Base - This ultra-thin, static eliminating base is lightweight due to its low material usage and yields the highest quality sintered available anywhere.
