K2 Podium and Podium Wide Snowboard Review

$430
Intermediate to Expert All Mountain
Discontinued as of 2011

This Cambered board still provides a lot of fun and stability that many reverse or hybrid cambered boards can't offer. However after riding a reverse camber board on a powder day you will not be as stoked on the Podium.  If you are looking for a reasonably priced all mountain board that is very fun to carve or learn to carve this will be a good choice.  It's not the best for the jib park but will do well enough if you visit but not stay.  With it's decent set back it will even do well in powder for a cambered board.
