K2 HYPNOTIST 149 Snowboard

K2 Hypnotist Snowboard – power and precision for advanced freestyle riders

The K2 Hypnotist is designed for riders who want not only to jump in the park or half-pipe, but also need a board that can handle every demand – from jumps and rails to more challenging freestyle manoeuvres. This board was created for advanced and expert riders, offering a highly dynamic profile, powerful pop and a balance between manoeuvrability and stability.

The BAP Core (Bamboo, Aspen, Paulownia) provides low weight, resilience and good vibration damping at the same time, allowing you to control the board even at high speed and during demanding landings. Reinforcements such as Carbon DarkWeb™ and Carbon Backbone™ add drive and responsiveness, particularly between the bindings, resulting in powerful pop and a lively snap. SpaceGlass™ is used in the nose and tail – a high-quality fibreglass material that reduces weight, minimises vibrations (chatter) and strengthens the structure where it is needed most.

The board features a classic camber profile (“True Camber”) – the board is raised beneath the boots, providing excellent edge hold, powerful pop and riding stability both in the air and on edge. The Shape is True Twin – symmetrical in design and ideal for riding regular and switch, allowing complete freedom of movement during manoeuvres.
