For groms searching for an all-mountain freestyle snowboard to match their progressing skill set, the K2 Kandi youth snowboard focuses on features that matter, making snowboarding more fun and progression easier than ever before.

Rider Type:  All Mountain

Shape: Twin

Flex: Soft and Forgiving 

Rocker: Rocker / Flat / Rocker  

Ability Level:  Beginner / Intermediate / Advanced

CAMBER

The K2 Kandi features a Twin Rocker Profile flat between the feet, with rocker outside the bindings to make turning and spinning easier than ever.

SHAPE

A twin shape, sidecut, and camber profile make the Vandal feel precisely the same whether riding left or right foot forward for dialing in switch riding or just figuring out whether your grom is goofy or regular-footed.

CORE

Inside, the K2 Kandi features a single species Aspen Core to provide a smooth flex in a durable package. It’s then wrapped with a biaxially woven fiberglass for the forgiveness needed for progression without sacrificing stability.

BASE

The Extruded 2000 base is fast, tough, low maintenance, and easily repairable, giving you and your grom the confidence and peace of mind to send it on any terrain.

By bringing the contact points out of the snow, this beginner-friendly tune ensures linking turns without a catch. This small amount of bevel in the tip and tail aids in more confidence throughout the learning curve and unlocks faster progression on all terrain.

With so many mountains to explore, the Passport is the key to accessing uncharted terrain. The Unisex K2 Passport snowboard is an inspiring addition to the line and the Landscape Collection. 

Like any good exploratory mission, don’t forget to take your Passport with you -- the key to accessing uncharted terrain. Built for the intermediate-to-expert level rider and shaped and sized to be unisex, the Passport is directional in every way but remains switch and fakie friendly. Slightly-wider-than-average waist width is met width 8mm of taper to ensure easy turning and float in deep snow.

Rider Type:  All Mountain / Freeride

Shape: Directional but switch friendly

Flex: 7/10

Rocker: Rocker Nose /  Camber Under Feet  / Small Rocker at tail

Ability Level:  Intermediate / Advanced

CAMBER

Directional Combination Camber Profile – The best of both worlds. By blending both traditional Camber and Rocker profiles, Combination Camber gives you all the benefits of both: the pop and precision of camber, and the float and predictability of rocker.

SHAPE

The Passport has a directional shape so it wants to ride forwards. It can handle a bit of switch for sure, but riding your natural stance is where it will shine. 

CORE

A1 Core - Lightweight, snappy, and durable, the all-new A1 Core is made from three renewable species of timber - bamboo, aspen, and paulownia. Aspen-dominant to highlight the snap and response of this wood, it's combined with bamboo at 30 ° underfoot to increase strength, supercharge the edge-to-edge response, and increase the pressure distribution along the edge. They've also placed lightweight paulownia in the tip and tail help to reduce swing weight.

ICG 10 Triax Carbon Fiberglass - Integrating tip to tail carbon fiber stringers into fiberglass lay-ups ensures a smooth power release in and out of turns while increasing pop, liveliness, and longevity of the snowboard without adding unnecessary rigidity.

BASE

Sintered 4000 Base – The sintered 4000 base absorbs wax deep into the material for relentless glide and unrivaled durability.

SPECS:

A freestyle staple for over a decade, the K2 Darko is the perfect blend of classic and modern and is designed to keep you lapping in comfort and style.

Mid-to-soft in flex, the Darko is packed with no-nonsense technology that works and offers an unparalleled fit. When designing the K2 Darko snowboard boot, we combined tried-and-true traditional shell lacing with Mobility Conda™ liner lacing, powered by a BOA® dial liner.

Our Mobility Conda™ technology is micro-adjustable to provide superior heel hold and support. Underfoot, we’ve placed our RollSole™ outsole atop a lightweight EVA midsole, maximizing medial flex and range of motion for grabs, tweaks, and presses, all while keeping your feet, ankles, and knees protected from the impact of those harsh landings.

The breathable Intuition® Control Foam 3D liner is heat moldable to the exact shape of your feet and features ankle pockets and internal and external j-bars to hug your feet while keeping them warm and dry until you call it quits.

Style: Freestyle / Powder

Flex: 5/10

DIE CUT EVA FOOTBED:

TRADITIONAL SHELL LACING:

Top-to-bottom traditional shell lacing provides a custom fit and hassle-free simplicity.

K2 designed the Maysis to perform like a workhorse and fit like a glove, and its feature-forward design has it ranked as a perennial bestseller.

It starts with a heat-moldable liner made of open-cell Intuition® foam - allowing the liner to form to the exact shape of your leg, ankle, and foot for superior fit, warmth, and comfort. The secret to the award-winning fit is our Conda™ liner lacing system. Powered by a BOA® Fit System dial, this forgiving and adjustable harness is designed to pull the user's heel into the boot's heel pocket. This urethane-based harness hugs your ankle and flexes naturally.

Externally, K2 started with an articulating cuff to reduce distortion when bending the knee, and we've added an abrasion-resistant rubber compound for unrelenting durability. A high-powered BOA® Fit System H4 Coiler closes the shell securely and can be done without removing your gloves.

Lastly, to add durability and maintain the boot's flex over the boot's lifetime, they constructed the K2 Maysis using our Endo™ technology. Underfoot, we've used premium materials to improve damping and grip. The outsole is built using our proprietary This Grips!™ dual-rubber compound to provide excellent grip both on and off the snow. This is all set atop a dual-density midsole comprised of a lightweight EVA and our proprietary Harshmellow™, designed to dampen vibration on rough terrain and cushion big landings.

The K2 Boundary follows a tried-and-true formula that delivers on its promise of being a snowboard boot you’ll love from the first time you put it on. It nails the sweet spot for freestyle and all-mountain snowboarders who prioritize flex, comfort, and fit.

The K2 Boundary snowboard boot features a dual-zone closure with BOA® Fit System to micro-tune your fit. A dedicated BOA® dial for the upper shell and a second dial dedicated to closing the lower part of the shell. The upper cuff of the boot is constructed with our HDR Premium Synthetics. It features a fully articulating design, upping the durability factor while reducing the distortion of the shell as it flexes forward.

Inside, a supportive three-point harness is integrated into the shell, wrapping itself around a thermoformable Intuition® Control Foam 3D liner for the ultimate fit.

Underfoot, our proprietary This Grips!™ rubber outsole provides excellent grip while hiking, boot packing, and walking across icy parking lots and sits atop a dual-density midsole. This midsole features a lightweight EVA material and is complemented with our Harshmellow™ damping material to cushion your bones and reduce fatigue after long days on the hill.

Impact-resistant, durable, and performance-driven, the H4 BOA® Dial ejects on severe impact and is easily re-inserted into the boot. The H4 dial controls the upper shell lacing, while the M3 dial controls the lower shell lacing.

3-POINT HARNESS LINER LACING:

The 3-Point Harness is a straightforward solution that doesn’t skimp on support. Instead, this system aims to optimize heel hold while providing ankle support and unrivaled stability to help reduce fatigue. A taller Pro Version is found on Orton and Format models for additional support.

Have your mind blown by the 2024 K2 Excavator. Designed for the new age carver that has to slash every lip insight on the way to the POW stashes. This board is built for fun but also knows when to be serious. The wider profile of the Excavator allows riders to size down 5cm from their usual snowboard size and allows you to get all of the performance out of a longer board without the extra swing weight. This extra width and 20mm of taper benefits riders with wider feet, reducing any “booting out” on those deep corduroy carves and long traverses but don't be afraid of the width both for male and female riders. Riding is believing!
