The snowboarding lifestyle is very attractive to people who love the thrill of speed in the snow. Participants are keen to have the latest equipment that looks good but is safe and gives great performance too. K2 Snowboards are one of the most successful American companies in this market. They supply equipment, clothing and accessories and are based in Carlsbad, California. The company sponsors a number of well known snowboarders from the USA, Finland and Canada.
There is a range of boards that suit different conditions and have various qualities. Riders like to choose a board based on those qualities and to reflect their personalities. K2 Snowboards choose inspirational names for their products. The Gyrator snowboard is designed for deep powder but can be ridden in other conditions and is easy to maneuver. The Zeppelin is made with an innovative carbon base, making it faster and lighter than other boards and it is still very stable.
Titan was developed for people with larger than average feet and suits all kinds of terrain. Eldorado is similarly versatile and can cope with deep powder and it is also lightweight. The Podium uses Carbon Torsion Forks technology and performs particularly well on pipes and in backcountry.
Other products supplied by K2 Snowboards are just as important to the competitive and recreational rider. There are different kinds of bindings and a range of boots, both for men and for women. The clothing range combines comfort and style and features 100% cotton sweatshirts, hooded jackets, belts and peaked caps.
The company web site has an online support facility and FAQ section. There is also a search locator for the nearest K2 Snowboards dealer and a technical queries page. The warranty policy is explained in detail and the catalog can be ordered or it can be downloaded. Online dealers include Buckmans.com, Christy Sports and Snowboard Fusion. One of the fun features of the K2 Snowboards web site is the snowcam that covers various American ski and snowboard resorts, such as Sun Valley, Idaho and Snowbird in Utah.
Many snowboarding events have benefited from being sponsored by K2 Snowboards. The list of 2008 sponsored events will include the Shephard and Schaller Ski and Snowboard event at Granite Peak, the Midwest Open at Cascade Mountain and the Freestyle Competition at Marquette Mountain.
As technology advances and new and improved materials are found, K2 Snowboards will continue to be at the cutting edge of the sport. The company has grown with the rapid success of snowboarding from a fringe activity to an Olympic sport watched by millions.
