Price Paid:  $450.00 at Ski Barn, Paramus NJ

Favorite place to ride:

Product Year:
2001

Summary:
For a large footed rider like me, this wide board is the best I've used, let alone seen. With a sturdy, dent- resistant construction,a relatively light weight board for it's size, and the most attractive looking top and bottom of any board I have noticed on the slopes, I recommend this product to anyone with a decent budget to blow who needs a wide board. It is perfect for downhill riding, and way above average for the park and pipe. If you are also a rider who tires to pick up chicks on the slope, this board will earn you some compliments!

Strengths:
Strenghts= all of the above.
A sturdy board that won't let you down while riding, a great board to help you land your harder tricks,and a sweet-ass design top and bottom.

Weaknesses:
A little high on the price scale, but well worth the extra cash.

My last board was a Sims Project Pipe, and for around the same price,(this board was narrower, but then my feet grew,)that board was crap. This wider K2 board even handles better, which is hard to do!

Price Paid:  $220.00 at G.I. Joes

Favorite place to ride:
Mt Hood Meadows

Riding Style:
All Mountain/Freeride

Summary:
This board is great, K2 did a great job on these boards!!!
Being 6"6 and about 240 i expeted to get whatever board was the
biggest. Thats what happened but I still got a good deal. K2 trys to
rip you off with the $500 price but most stores sell it between $200
and $300, and it's totally worth the price

Strengths:
This board is great for people that are BIG, its extra wide
so your feet dont drag on the snow (which really sucks)
and they make it bigger than most boards. I wear a size 15
boot and even my feet don't drag! This board is great for an all
mountain board, my carves with this board are perfect,while
on demos i cant do crap

Weaknesses:
Being so big i don't notice this but some
people say it's heavy for its size (with
wood core)They also need a bigger length
i grew over the summer and now my size 176
board which used to come up to my chin now
barely reaches my shoulders (thats my
problem. I also haven't had this problem
but you can tell it is a little bit more
breakable than most boards, so you have to be careful
when jumping over rocks (do that anyways).

Similar Products Used:
various demos, they all sucked in
comparison
