$299 Beginner to Intermediate All Mountain Flat/Rocker Twin Shape (mostly flat) The K2 Moment Snowboard is a forgiving entry into the intermediate level rocker snowboard. The Moment has a good price for an entry level snowboard. The Moment will be very similar to a flat camber board except it's a little more catch free. The flat/rocker shape is going to give you a stable predictable ride when flat basing on those flat beginner runs and one footing off the chair. It will also be very easy to make short radius turns. Once you get past the basics of turning the moment will be over and you'll want something with more character to help you learn to make Advanced/Expert turns and take on some park play. All in all this is a good beginner and an ok intermediate snowboard but it won't take you to the next level like a few can in this price range.
The Good Ride Take on K2 K2 is a big company that makes a lot of ski and snowboard gear. K2 chose Flat Camber and variations of flat/rocker for their snowboards in the post camber revolution. Their flat camber has a mixed take but their flat/rocker shapes seem to be well liked and some are Good Ride Favorites. When it comes to Bindings K2 spends a lot of time working on the quick strap/release side of things and they have 2 quick release designs. Some like this but others would rather see them work on improved turn initiation, comfort and better board flex under foot. We’d at least like to see them switch to only one quick release and develop their normal bindings more. Their boots are well made, long lasting and comfortable but some don’t have the adjustability that some boots have. Their customer support is very good but there is no phone # on their site so you must contact them via email. All in all K2 does a pretty good job when it comes to making snowboard gear for a wide variety of riders.
Always on and absorbing the day, the moment is the intermediate women rider’s board of choice. Catch Free Rocker® Baseline is all you need to advance with ease and focus on the times on snow with friends.
