The K2 Special Effects is a soft snow specialist that can hold its own on groomers, hard pack, and long traverses out to the soft stuff. The nose of the board features 8mm of contour from heel to toe, making it easier than ever before to plane out in deep snow while providing predictable turn initiation regardless of snow or terrain type. This contour helps to deflect snow and slush, eliminating drag, and acting like a plow at the tip of your snowboard. We harness the strength of our tri-wood blend Bambooyah™ Core and wrap it with our ICG™ 10 Carbon Fiberglass - featuring ten tip-to-tail carbon stringers--for an extremely strong, damp, and stable feel. Our Volume Shift™ design philosophy means you can downsize the board 4-10cm from your usual board length without sacrificing float while increasing maneuverability. Underfoot, the tough-as-nails Sintered 4000 is fast, durable, and holds wax much better than extruded base materials. Lastly, our Hybritech™ Sidewalls are the most durable sidewall construction on the market, meaning this pow hunter will remain in your quiver for years to come.
Volume Shift sizing: Our recommended ride for this board is 7-10cm shorter than your normal snowboard size.

From the mad scientists in the K2 lab, the versatile K2 Formula snowboard binding is an all-mountain freestyle binding that isn’t afraid to mix it up in the steeps, parks, or streets and is the preferred binding of global K2 pros and ams alike.
The Formula is built on our Profusion™ Chassis, a mid-to-stiff flexing fiberglass-filled-nylon construction that provides support and cushion for big tricks in the park and pointing it down spicy lines. The AT Nylon highback is responsive with just the right amount of flex and features our Gap Eraser™ forward lean adjustment to customize the response of your board. This forward lean technology allows your highback to have complete contact with your heel cup at any degree of forward lean. Complete contact equals full response.
The Bender™ ankle strap provides a supremely comfortable and secure feel when the consequences are high, and the PerfectFit™ 2.0 toe strap hinges to fit any snowboard boot toe profile for comfort and fast response. The Formula’s Power Ramp is adjustable to evenly match the bottom of your boot outsole and combines with a 3º cant built directly into the chassis to create a natural riding position for big landings, solid take-offs, and even balance on all terrain.
Lastly, the aluminum ratchets are tough as hell and feature our integrated EZ Feed™ design and make strapping in quick and hassle-free.
