Bambooyah
Skate inspired Indestructibility
BAMBOOYAH® expands out into more models in this it’s second year. We now offer original Bambooyah cores and the all new Bambooyah Blended cores. Created for models that could benefit from just a little bit of Bambooyah’s incredible strength. A little it of Bambooyah goes a long way.
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.
Jib Rocker
PARK & RAIL AUTHORITY
Jib Rocker is a versatile twin Rocker built to dominate the park. Just enough rise in the tip and tail to create a loose, buttery feel on all types of terrain. Contact points stay well off the snow until engaged – eliminating edge hook while maintaining fun pop.
Hybritaper
Lightweight & Strong
Hybritaper takes our Hybritech Construction, and tapers out the core at the tip and tail to reduce the swing weight. We blend the tips from a cap into a thin sandwich removing material where you don’t need it.
Carbon Web
Connect to the web
Always improving the feel and energy return of our boards, the R+D group releases the CARBON WEB rider input/output system. Offered in two levels of sensitivity. Resulting in a more connected feedback loop from terrain to rider.
Triaxial Glass
A glass laminate with diagonal layers that stiffens the board torsionally. Giving you improved edge hold and increased stability for those off-axis landings
4000 Sintered
• Fastest natural base material available• Exceptionally Durable• Absorbs deeper & retains wax longer
WH4 Core
Super-light honeykomb Core Technology
The WH4 Core pulls every trick from our bag of core tech. With a greater percentage of HONEYKOMB than the WH3 Core, it’s engineered to maintaindurability at minimal weight.
ICG 20
Hyper Progressive
An infinite number of different radius are blended together flawlessly from mellow in the tips, to more aggressive in the center. The result is a super predictable feel that never hooks. Responsive at high speeds and smooth enough to butter your way from the peak to park.

Comments about K2 Snowboarding Fastplant:
So sick! This was my go to board for any conditions. Fastplant 157. Solid as hell. Spring loaded pop. Sick art. What else could you ask for? It's a bit heavier than the rest of the boards in K2's line, but still lighter than 90% of the other brands boards out there. The heavier board seems to ride more solid and cuts down on the chatter, so I feel like the weight is a plus, not a negative. You won't be disappointed in this board!

Comments about K2 Snowboarding Fastplant:
I ride ice 80% of the winter. This board turns like a dream. The rocker allows you to make nice gripped turns, and it actually springs you in and out of them, I have never been on a rockered board that does this. In Poweder it flows and floats with no problem, and again, is snappy and responsice. Parkwise, be careful, it will throw you if youre not on it! Also provides the most forgiving landing gear in the world (I think its the bambooyah!)

Comments about K2 Snowboarding Fastplant:
Rode this board in the slush and I was amazed. Flex is consistent. Soft enough for jibbing and buttering. Stiff enough for the slopes. Board is very poppy. Transitions from heel to toe quickly. Turns are easy to initiate and it holds a great edge. Not a rocket, but is very quick. A little bouncy through the moguls. Super durable. Being new to the park I beat this board and myself to hell and back. Good stable landings. I actually bought this in a 156W. Even though I wear a size nine, I had no problem at all riding this board. Great board for every skill level. Sold as a park board, but it's a great all mountain freestyle. Does most everything well. Almost a quiver killer. Cheaper than a Burton. Why can't the Burton boys make a board this well with a decent price.

Comments about K2 Snowboarding Fastplant:
I hopped on the 154 FAstplant this year and have found it to hold up to all conditions. I've been trying to break it in the park and Bambooyaa just won't give. Been landing heavy on the tail and it just pops back. I found even on Icy Night conditions I could hold edge fine and still handle high speed ripping. Hiked it out to the back and it was slaying the pow. found it a GREAT all around board not just a "park board" Jib rocker isn't just for jibbing it handles everywhere on mountian. K2 you are the Original Rockers and wouldn't give the fastplant up for anything else.

Comments about K2 Snowboarding Fastplant:
I had the opportunity to test this board, and well I was impressed. Even though it is slated as a "park" board, I found that it responded well all over the mountain. I usually ride a 155 softy, and thought that the 157 would feel huge underfoot. I found that although the board was 2 cm bigger it responded like my 155. The board felt stable between turns, and held an edge even at higher speeds. The rocker that goes into this board gives it a forgiving and consistent flex with a reasonable amount of pop. Excelent from the top of the mountain to the bottom for any level rider. Although I found it an enjoyable ride and am currently ordering one, I did find it a little on the hefty side but that's the duribility. Also I wish that it had the availability to have a wider stance. All in all great product. Have a great season!!!
