K2 Snowboards Fastplant Snowboard - 2012

A long time ago, a monster was born in a bamboo forest. He loved bamboo—to eat it, to sword fight other monsters with it, and he even built his house out of it. One day he fashioned the K2 Fastplant Snowboard out of his trusted bamboo, and also some carbon, steel, and little bit of magic. From there he ventured to the snowy hills he often longed to travel to. On these snowy slopes he put the Fastplant to the test against jumps, rails, and powder—emerging victoriously and with a smile on his face.

• Bambooyah WH4 core is manufactured from vertically laminated bamboo throughout for an indestructible and skate-like ride
• Jib Rocker profile is 80% flat—running along most of the board for pop and stability with rocker on the nose and tail and past the contact points for a buttery and hook-free ride
• Tweekend nose and tail profiling extends the rocker all the way out to the absolute ends allowing you to land, float, and press like never before
• 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, resulting in sensitive response and increased ollie-power
• Triax fiberglass adds the snap and response needed for riding all aspects of the mountain
• Hybritaper gradually thins out the core of the board toward the nose and tail to reduce swing weight
• Sintered 4000 base holds wax, goes fast, and is durable enough to stand up against rocks, trees, and rails
• Five-year manufacturer warranty against core breakage
• Artwork by legendary skate artist Don Pendleton

Bottom Line: An epic tale of snow-shredding, magical wood, and a determined monster.
