The internal team at K2 Snowboarding has been dreaming of the hypnotist for a few years, and there is no better time than the present to release our baby. This all-new premium freestyle snowboard is built for the more advanced to expert snowboarder, transitions, on hips, and on medium to large terrain park features.
K2 leaned on their trusty tri-blend BAP core as the foundation for the Hypnotist. They added their Carbon DarkWeb™ to speed up transitions from edge to edge, and our new tip-to-tail Carbon Backbone™ to increase snap.
To help you spin that extra 180 degrees, reduce swingweight, and decrease chatter in the tip and tail, we’ve replaced the tip and tail of the core with our SpaceGlass™ construction, lighter and harder than wood, SpaceGlass™ puts the Hypnotist in a league all of it’s own. They finish it all off with a wax-infused 4001 Sintered Base from Crown - the hardest, fastest, base material that they offer.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Twin Camber Profile – A twin camber profile makes the snowboard under your feet lively and poppy helping you track straight into jumps and pop ollies over fences.
Flex
Flex Rating – 7 (1 Playful - 10 Precise)
Core
BAP Core – Bamboo. Aspen. Paulownia. K2 has blended three species of renewable timber to assemble a core that’s strong, lightweight, and designed to enhance dampening without the addition of other materials.
Laminates
SpaceGlass™ Tip and Tail – An American made Aerospace grade precure fiberglass core insert used to provide unmatched structural performance at reduced weight. SpaceGlass™ inserts increase edge hold along contact points, reduce chatter, and provide unequaled durability.
Carbon DarkWeb™ – A carbon fiber X-pattern that is strategically placed underfoot from edge-to-edge to speed up transitions, increase control, and increase underfoot strength.
Carbon Backbone™ – Built in a pre-loaded cambered shape and placed between the binding inserts, the Carbon Backbone™ helps by adding extra snap between the feet to increase pop from the highest load-zone.
Base
Wax-Infused Sintered 4001 Base – Built using the hardest and fasted sintered base material on the market, the Wax-Infused Sintered 4001 Base holds wax longer than other sintered bases for smoother, longer lasting glide.
