2008’s K2 Afterblack Snowboard is a wide twin-tip, developed to give snowboarders with bigger feet equal opportunity and freestyle mobility wherever they want to go.

With a Darkstar-inspired shape and NEW! Hybritaper Tip and Tail, the 2008 K2 Afterblack Snowboard offers the control and stability to jump over or ride through anything.
-
S-Class Technology- Taking full advantage of every moment you experience on snow, whether it's your first few turns or that last high-speed mission, S-Class technology is engineered to keep your legs at full potential for strong riding all day long. K2’s patent pending feature incorporates a vibration-absorbing layer, giving your muscles a well-deserved break from any and all board chatter. One more run anyone?
-
Multi Polar Core- The lightweight strength and liveliness of the Multi Core but with added damping pads isolated under each foot. The pads isolate the inserts into the top of the core, which cuts vibrations leading to the foot, and gives you a flatter, faster base by reducing "base suck-up."
-
Hyper Progressive Sidecut- K2’s most aggressive, yet versatile sidecut. A very gentle radius in the tip and tail are blended to a tight radius in the center of the board. Whether you want to relax and bomb with confidence or carve circles around your buddy, this sidecut puts you in control of your turns
-
Patented Hybritech Construction- Hybritech is the most effective way to make a snowboard. It takes a cap tip and tail and blends it into a sidewall along the running surface. K2 takes the time to create complex molds and parts that bring these two features together. It gives you low swing weight and optimized turn initiation at the ends combined with durability and damping on the running surface. This design produces high-performance boards that excel across any variety of mountain terrain, snow conditions and riding styles.
-
Carbon Torsion Forks- Dual Torsional stability at tip and tail = better high speed edge hold + better off-axis landing stability
