K2 Zero Snowboard - 2008
K2 wants to ensure that winter will live on, so it created the Zero Snowboard. The setback twin Zero features K2's lightest, most advanced construction ever—and it's environmentally responsible, too. K2's new Harshmellow technology (a layer of synthetic polymer added to the board) absorbs vibration at high speeds for a smooth ride. K2's engineers eliminated the ABS plastic from this buttery yet responsive board. Plus they used better and stronger fiberglass so less of it is needed, made the wood core from sustainable, strong aspen and bamboo, and reduced the use of solvents and other toxic materials. For every Zero produced, the K2 will purchase pollution offset credits, so this all-terrain ride doesn't contribute to our deteriorating environment.
Bottom Line: The future of snowboarding looks green.
Leave your mark on The Wall.

This is the most versatile board I've ever ridden. It turns on a dime, is super light and very stable for a light board. Works well in the park and the bowls. Definitely easier to big air than some heavier boards I've been on and it's not even a park board. Pretty good for switch and buttering too.

I would like to start by saying I have actually been on this board, seen this board, and held this board in my own hands and can say it is a huge step in the ECO direction. They have reduced a ton of materials in this board that ARE harmful to the environment without sacrificing your ride. If you are educated on board construction, you can pick this board up look it over and tell there is less to it, and in the ECO world less is more. BUT, when you actually get on it you don't feel like you're on a board that is missing anything. It is one of the smoothest most responsive boards I have ever ridden. So if you like the idea of reducing your carbon footprint check this board out. You can go to www.k2snowboarding.com and find out a lot more about this board. Check out the info on HarshMellow as well, it is a huge part of why this thin profiled board can ride as smooth as it does with great edge hold.

how is synthetic polymer made.. and pollution offset credits? if you know what that is it means nothing. it means you can pollute than pay the government so that they can build more shit that pollutes such as a carbon dioxide distillery which pumps the carbon dioxide back into the ground but does not reduce but contribute by having more produced to make the stupid thing that does nothing. i'm not a tree hugger or anything (nothin wrong with it) but when people by offset credits they are just paying someone so that they can pollute. not trying to bash anybody people just need to open there eyes. check out the video on http://www.cheatneutral.com/
Ride the Lightning (mongoose)

I got to ride the Zero this past summer out at Hood. I rode it for about a week with the new Auto-Evers on it. Not only is this one of the lightest boards I have ever ridden, it is also one of the liveliest. It felt like I was riding an angry mongoose chasing a snake down the hill, and I mean that in a good way. Like if you had some sort of spirit-power over the mongoose. It has insane pop and won't buckle no matter how much pressure you put on it. The Harshmellow on the board paired with the Auto-evers made for a crazy cushiony feel. The top sheet almost feels like fabric which helped keep the bindings from slipping. Check out Tim Eddy's part in These Days to see the Zero in snake chasing action.
*Although I recommend this board highly, I do kind of agree with the review Calling "BS" on the eco marketing thing.
Big bunch of BS!

I call BS on this board. K2 is a mega huge public company owned by Mr Coffee and Crock Pot. They produce all of their gear in China where there are little environmental regulations. If they were truly environmentally friendly they wouldn't overproduce so much product. This is just a jump on the bandwagon to fool people.

regarding Sheldon/BS comment... ummmm, i wonder where he gets his info & hate from. yes, K2 is owned by a conglomerate that owns numerous brands. still, all product is designed and developed in the good 'ol northwest. yes, product is built in a K2 OWNED factory in China. hey dude, where was your Iphone/Ipod/Scion built??? over-producing??? K2 is way more responsible in production than tons of other UNnamed brands.
lastly, how does change start? 1 step at a time, and little by little. this board proves that you can reduce materials greatly, and keep performance extremely high. i will refrain from any other comments on this dumb ass....
Change me.
