Product description
The Alchemist by K2 - no fake magic but pure magic for powder
The Alchemist from K2 is the ultimate when it comes to freeride boards. The K2 team has tested and tested, improved and tested some more - and the result is something to be proud of. Here, the very best materials and technologies have been combined in a magic pot and brewed into a board that sets new standards in freeriding.
Riding style
If snowboarding means powder to you, then the Alchemist is your magic wand. It also works incredibly well on steep slopes, hard runs and far from the resort.
Shape
The directional shape ensures uplift for trips out into the powder, offers stability and control and guarantees pop. The taper means the nose is wider than the tail and promotes smooth turn entry and exit, stability at speed and enhanced deep snow uplift. The larger volume in the front area allows you to make effortless turns in deep and soft snow and increases the float enormously.
Profile
The Alchemist comes with a Directional Camber Baseline™. The camber between the bindings provides decent ollie pop and powerful turns, while the rocker in the nose provides even more float.
Flex
The hard flex guarantees full control, reactivity and agility in all conditions.
Construction
The S1 Core retains its pop for a long time and is designed to increase pressure on the edges. Triax Glass provides torsional rigidity and unparalleled edge hold. SpaceGlass™ inserts increase edge hold along the contact points, providing smoother running and unmatched durability. Spectral Braid™ is unique. The special reinforcement provides even more control and stability. The Carbon Power Forks™ ensure the best energy transfer and snap. Rounding out the high-quality construction, the Wax Infused 4001 Sintered Base is a fast base that will stay that way if you take proper care of it.

Snowboards are usually delivered ready-to-ride with a waxed base and sharpened edges. However, this so-called factory-tuning is not very durable and your new snowboard should be properly waxed after a few days and maintained on a regular basis.
