K2 Hypnotist 2024 Snowboard
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 their 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 Carbon DarkWeb™ to speed up transitions from edge to edge, and their 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, K2 replaced the tip and tail of the core with SpaceGlass™ construction, lighter and harder than wood, SpaceGlass™ puts the Hypnotist in a league all of it’s own. K2 finish it all off with a wax-infused 4001 Sintered Base from Crown - the hardest, fastest, base material that they offer.

Triax Glass - Glass laminate with diagonal layers to add torsional stiffness to the board.
