For some of us, each run at the resort is like listening to a jazz band play a live show - it’s spontaneous, making decisions on the fly of where to carve, slash, and how fast to roll into the next side hit. The easiest way to describe it is to simply getting into the groove.

The Instrument features a directional camber line and utilizes K2's Volume Shift design to add the correct width to the board for laying trenches on groomers. A longer radius in the tip of the board eases turn initiation, while a deeper sidecut underfoot helps to rail turns. The Instrument features a 3/4” inch setback and 10mm of taper to help it plane out in the deep stuff, and it features a hard, fast Sintered 4000 base.

Inside, K2's sustainably sourced S1 core is equal parts durable and damp underfoot. Carbon Torque Forks extend from the insert pack to the contact points for responsive power transfer, and the entire package is wrapped in our ICG 10 Biax Fiberglass - featuring tip-to-tail carbon stringers for increased pop and extra stability for when it gets rowdy.

The Instrument is for those days where you don’t quite know what the forecast has in store.
