K2 Bike Spitfire Wide Freeride

K2 Bike Spitfire Wide Freeride 

DESCRIPTION

All new all mountain shapes spawned for intermediate riders plotting against pipes and inclined toward daily freeriding descents. These boards are the ultimate definition of versatility. The Spitfire and Spitfire Wide are identical excepting the latter’s greater waist width, which accommodates those who are podiacally challenged. Features include a Mach 2000 extruded base that requires little maintenance, directional design, tapered tail, progressive sidecut and Elite cap construction for simplified and superior turning. Our new light wood core and 3D corrugated top sheet combine with biaxial fiberglass for rigidity, spring and response.

Strength:

Very flexible and fast plus extremely light with K2 clickers.

This has been a great first board, it does take a little time to get use to the width. But once you've mastered it, its responsive and quick.

Tips
Intermediate

Strength:

Very solid, pulls beatifully on turns, Isn't overly-heavy. I also find that it rides alot quicker and is more stable than my old Spitfire.

Weakness:

The only bad thing is getting used to the width difference... but it doesnt take long.

Hey, i just bought this ( the 2003 model) and i had a normal Spitfire before. It takes some time getting used to the 3 1/2 more inches in the width of the board, but only about 10 minutes. The board is awesome on jumps and turns, and i've only crashed once getting used to the width change (the first time i rode it)
