Pros and cons
-
Nimble and playfulThe short, compact shape makes the board light and easy to manoeuvre, even in tight spots.
-
Impressive float for the sizeThanks to the Volume Shift design, you get the float of a longer board in a shorter size, keeping you on top of the powder.
-
Versatile all-mountain performerThe hybrid camber profile and directional shape make the board equally at home on piste and off-piste.
-
Less pop than some alternativesRiders used to a lively, snappy board may find the Almanac feels a little more mellow underfoot.
-
Sizing takes some getting used toThe Volume Shift concept means you size down from what you'd normally ride, which can feel unfamiliar the first time you buy a K2 Almanac.
Description
The K2 Almanac is an all-mountain freestyle board aimed at advanced snowboarders who want one versatile board for the whole mountain. At the heart of it is the Volume Shift design: a shorter board with the surface area of a longer one, giving you float in powder without sacrificing manoeuvrability. The result is a compact, playful ride that steers effortlessly yet stays composed enough for advanced all-mountain freeride use.
Features
Level: Advanced to expert. You'll need solid technique to drive the board properly and get the most out of the hybrid camber profile.
Rider type / riding style: All-mountain freestyle with a freeride edge: ideal for riders who love carving the piste but also want to hit powder or throw in the occasional jump. One board for a full day on the mountain.
Edge hold: The hybrid camber profile puts the steel edge in direct contact with hard-packed and groomed pistes, keeping you locked in throughout every turn.
Why choose the K2 Almanac?
The Almanac is the board for advanced riders who refuse to choose between manoeuvrability and float. The Volume Shift design gives you the benefits of a longer board in a shorter, more playful size: it's a clever concept and you'll feel the difference the moment you're on the mountain. Not sure which size is right for you or how to make sense of the Volume Shift concept? The team at Duijvestein Winterstore is happy to help, whether you pop into the shop or get in touch online.
