Engineered to instill confidence in the beginner women’s boarder, the First Lite is the ultimate tool to develop your skills. Built to instill confidence in new riders and keep them coming back for more, the First Lite’s foundation is a directional twin shape and is topped off with K2’s Catch-Free™ Tune. This makes learning how to snowboard both regular and switch as easy as possible - as the snowboard will feel identical riding in both directions. The K2 First Lite uses our Rocker Profile featuring our Catch Free Tune, meaning that the snowboard is flat in between the bindings with rocker just outside the bindings. This results in easy turn initiation and release of every turn. Easier release equals fewer falls, less time taking breaks, more time on the mountain, and faster progression.
Construction Features:
Extruded 2000 Base- A low maintenance and smooth gliding base material that’s durable and easy to repair.
Aspen Core - A single species lightweight wood core that delivers smooth flex and lively rebound.
Biax Glass - A fiberglass weave intersecting at 90º angles provides the proper torsional flexibility and strength.
Catch-Free™ Tune- A 2° bevel and factory detuned tip and tail reduce falls and make linking turns more achievable.
HYBRITECH™ CONSTRUCTION- Backed by years of rigorous testing, Hybritech is the most eco-friendly, lightest, and most durable snowboard construction on the market. Removing all excess plastic material in the tip and tail and adding a 3D capped edge to increase the bond strength of the fiberglass, decreasing the swing weight of the board, and reducing thousands of pounds of plastic needed during the manufacturing process is what makes Hybritech so revolutionary. Boards with Hybritech will spin faster, maneuver easier, and last longer than any other boards on the market.
