Go anywhere, do everything

By Ranked #22 - Boards October 4, 2011

The K2 Parkstar is an amazing board for the person looking to turn the whole mountain into their park.

Sintered base for speed. Triple fiberglass top sheet teamed with a carbon fiber webbing that starts directly underfoot for exceptional flex and snap. Once you add that with an 80% flat/20% rocker, called "JibRocker," the Parkstar is your anywhere everything toy.

A board designed to slide that kink rail, hold a strong fast edge on groomers, ollie anything pop, and float in the deep stuff. What else could u ask for!

The Parkstar kills it! I switched to this board based on a friends recommendation and could not be happier. I was previously riding a 2010 Burton Hero and MAN am I glad I switched! The 80% flat base actually lets you TURN and hold an edge with confidence, seriously you can lay it down on this board. The jib rocker also makes it very forgiving! Consistent flex and twin shape kills it in both directions. The Parkstar is super responsive to every input yet not catchy or edgy. The name does it no justice, it should be called the mountain star. For the record I had previously ridden Burton for the past 10 years and I likely won't be back there for a while!
