2012 K2 WWW
This is the K2 World-Wide Weapon, the new shape of jib progression. This board has been setting the stage for jib creativity for quite some time, and they keep doing it over and over and over again. The P-tex top-sheet is probably my favorite thing about it. Cool graphic on top, awesome graphic on the bottom. Of course, there’s Bambi. It does have the jib-rocker baseline technology. 80 percent of this base is flat, 20 percent of it is rocker, 10 percent on the nose, 10 percent on the tail. And it does have the jib-tip construction.
K2‘s jib-tip construction allows you to ride this board 5 centimeters smaller than you normally would. It has the same effective edge as a normal board, but the nose and the tail are a little bit shorter. It does have a twin hyper-progressive shape as well. Making this Twin tipped shred stick a perfect a jib board.
It has a hyper-progressive side-cut radius, meaning that you will stay stable at high speeds and smooth at low speeds. It has a centered stance and a W1 core. It has, tip to tail, a laminate wood for one smooth ride. It has Biax Fiberglass that runs at 90 degrees and at 0 degrees, with a 2000 extruded, low maintenance, highly durable base. For all you jibbers out there, you’re going to love this feature, it’s the 3 degree beveled base edge. You can stay flat on the base, but the edges actually kind of rock up so you won’t catch them on any dings, any rails, or any wood knobs or anything of that sort. K2 WWW is also available in wide options.
what is the flex rating for the k2 WWW?
Its a really soft flexing board. I would have to say the World Wide Weapon has a flex rating of 2-3 depending on you size.
Looks good but will the flex be enough for freestyle? I’m in the 159-167cm range and am looking for a board, so if it does, I’ll totally buy it.
Thanks to the Jib Tip you can ride this board 4 to 5 cm shorter then your normal snowboard. They make the WWW in a Wide 158 which would perfect for your freestyle needs.
Hi, are my feet too big for the WWW 154 if i have a boot size of 11?
You could get away with it but I would suggest getting the K2 WWW Rocker Wide Snowboard 155
will this board be ok to ride big kickers like 30 to 40 foot kickers or is it just for jibbing
You could take it off of smaller jumps, but it is primarily a jib board.
like would i be better off getting the burton mr nice guy, the parkitect or getting this board and ditching the channel system
