K2 Men's Passport Wide Snowboard 2023

With so many mountains to explore, the Passport is the key to accessing uncharted terrain. The all-new K2 Passport snowboard is an inspiring addition to the line and the Landscape Collection. Built for the intermediate-to-expert level rider and shaped and sized to be unisex, the Passport is directional in every way but remains switch and fakie friendly. Slightly-wider-than-average waist width is met width 8mm of taper to ensure easy turning and float in deep snow. It is complemented by an elongated rocker profile from the front insert pack throughout the tip. A tighter sidecut radius in the tip and tail allow you to engage turns easily, while a longer radius between the feet makes the turn smooth and predictable progression. K2 added a new blend of ICG 10™ Triax fiberglass to the Passport, adding tip-to-tail snap with precise edge performance. This glass layup wraps our lightweight A1 core - which features three species of sustainably harvested timber, and all of it sits atop a fast and durable Sintered 4000 base.

Profile: Powder Camber

Camber under feet with early rise rocker on tips and tail.

Shape: Tapered Directional

Tail width is slightly tapered (2-20mm). This loosens up turning initiation and improves floatation in deeper snow without sacrificing edge hold on hardpack.

A directional shape with a longer, softer nose and a shorter, stiffer tail get taken to the next level with a tapering design—which sees a wider nose tapering into a narrower tail. The advantages are two-fold: this shape not only sees mega-enhanced floatation with a surfy feel in deep powder, it also creates a faster turning snowboard which is noticeably more nimble and great for tree riding.

Flex: 7 (Scale 1 - 10)

Versatility at it's finest. From the park to the peak and anywhere in between.

Base: Sintered

High-end base material that is harder, more durable, and faster than extruded bases.
