As the male version of K2’s sought after Spellcaster, it comes as no surprise that the K2 Afterblack Men’s Snowboard is back by popular demand and, aside from a sweet new graphic, will return unchanged for the new season. Its full twin shape and smooth flex pattern are designed with freestyle performance in mind and remain strategically tailored to technical, creative, and challenging applications in a park or street setting. Though it falls on the more intuitive end of the freestyle spectrum, the Afterblack is no stranger to pro-level expeditions and enlists the expertise of K2’s Carbon DarkWeb technology to maintain its poppy, responsive, and impeccably creative pedigree. As a result, the Afterblack becomes the ultimate park professional that—when combined with blunted tips and a slightly upturned profile—just begs to be buttered. With enough gumption and gusto to cruise successfully around the mountain, the K2 Afterblack Men’s Snowboard continues its reign as an untouchable freestyle expert that keeps up with the best of ‘em.
