K2 Snowboards Slayblade Snowboard
Unleash your freestyle fury both inbounds and outside of the ropes with the K2 Slayblade Snowboard. The arsenal of high-end goodies, including Harshmellow dampening underfoot, pop-enhancing Ollie-Bar, and the super fast, eco-friendly, and incredibly resilient Ø base, make this board a K2 team favorite for charging hard on groomers, making laps through the park, and of course—taking it to the backcountry.
- Flatline zero-camber shape balances a catch-free, floaty feel with reliable edge control and ollie power
- Harshmellow compound around the inserts offers the ultimate in chatter reduction and vibration dampening
- Tweekend nose and tail profiling extends the rocker all the way out to the absolute ends, which allows you to use the ends to land, float, and press like never before
- Bambooyah WH4 core is manufactured from vertically laminated bamboo throughout for an indestructible and skate-like ride
- Ollie-Bar technology places a spring-loaded and camber-shaped additive composed of carbon, KEVLAR®, and fiberglass in the middle of the board to generate pop without stiffening up the nose and tail
- Carbon Web places an arrangement of carbon strands in the board to deliver the power directly under the bindings, which results in sensitive response and increased ollie-power
- ICG triax fiberglass overlaps three layers of glass with integrated carbon for a ride that's not only snappy and responsive but that also releases the energy smoothly
- Ø base is an ultra-thin base made from an ultra-hard, highly porous sintered compound with static-eliminating capabilities to reduce drag
Bottom Line: The only thing that would make it more awesome would be built-in sound effects.
Leave your mark on The Wall.

Now in it’s forth year, the 2012-2013 K2 Slayblade gets its first signifigent technology tune up. The addition of Tweakend tip profile brings more stability to the award winning, close to camber feel of Flatline®. The Slayblade is the board of choice for any aggressive rider looking for a stiffer board that can send it anywhere on the mountain.
TWEEKEND - ADDED STABILITY, FLOAT & LANDING POWER
A revolutionary tweek to the ends of our industry leading Baseline technology. By extending the Baseline rocker all the way out to the absolute ends of the board, new ride-able surface is unlocked, giving you a bigger, more stable platform to press, float and land on.
harshmellow - VIBRATION FORCE FIELD
K2’s proprietary vibration dampening system is built into all three of our hardgoods categories. HARSHMELLOW™ is a magical compound that maximizes FUN by decreasing negative vibes, leg burn and rough landings. Positioned in the insert area in our top end boards to stop vibrations before they enter your bindings.
OLLIE BAR - POP COMES PRE-LOADED
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 board have.Made with a secret layup of carbon, Kevlar and urethane 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.
HYBRILIGHT - LESS WASTE, MORE SHRED!
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 on hill and greener for the hill.
