09 K2 Boards Now Up!

Hey Crew,
well it's been a busy week down Wanaka way. I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth at once(not recommended) so it has been squishy food for me all week. But i got back to work and loaded up 2009 K2 Snowboards onto the site. The 09 K2 range is looking super rad this year, a few highlights would be the Rocker Collection, the Gyrator, the Turbo Dream and the WWW Rocker. For those unfamiliar these boards are all made with varying degrees of rocker which is similar to a surfboard, the design replaces camber, a standard throughout the industry, with a slightly upward curving tip and tail that helps the board rise to the surface of the snow while the rider maintains a centered balance for maximum control, forward or switch. I rode the Gyrator in Japan in Feb and it was super fun to ride, really stable in the pow and always kept the nose up, but was still really solid on the groomers, the perfect freestyle powder board. The Turbo Dream is the board we're all itching to ride, i spotted Shaun Mckay on a Turbo Dream in Niseko, Japan while we were there. It's an all mountain freestyle board with less rocker then the Gyrator, this is the future right here people, plus it has the best board name i've heard in years, who doesn't wanna dream in turbo? The WWW Rocker builds on the momentum the WWW already has by adding Jib Rocker to an already killer design. So now all those butters and nose presses will be even easier. And the colours are crazy, check the pic! Also new to the range is the K2 Zero, this board is the first board on the market to try and reduce the industries impact on the environment. By using high tech materials and reducing the amount of materials, glues and resins in the design as well as the energy used in manufacture K2 are leading the way in creating a sustainable future for snowboarding. Chris is going to be riding a K2 Zero this season so we'll get to see how it holds up to a full season of abuse. Another notable addition to the range is the K2 Fling, which is like a Darkstar for girls, we're betting this combination is going to rock big time so we've got a bunch in Demo for all the girls out there to try. New K2 Boots and Bindings are also up and available now.
I'll have the Lowdown on the 09 Ride range later in the week, and 09 Rossignol skis should be up in the next day or so.
