K2 Antidote Snowboard 2024

JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED.

REVIEWED BY: Garrett Finn

Developed in collaboration with Sage Kotsenburg to be an all-mountain weapon with freestyle performance in mind, the K2 Antidote has become one of my favorite boards over the past couple of seasons. A simplistic directional twin design with a traditional camber profile combined with some awesome tech features makes this a medium-stiff board that's ready to go big. The Antidote is geared toward experienced riders who like stability but want something with a freestyle shape and personality. It's balanced, poppy, and energetic thanks to not only its camber profile but also a softer flex at the ends of the board. Carbon reinforcement toward the middle of the board adds dampness underfoot foot and provides high-speed stability and chatter reduction. It's soft and stiff in all the right places giving it the ability to charge hard without feeling like it lacks pop or energy when you wanna boost some side hits or hit a park jump. Another cool feature that makes this board sick is the 3D Base Contour. 3mm of contour from contact-to-contact point in the tip and tail adds 3D shape to the base helps to deflect soft snow, eases the process of turn initiation, deflects chunder and crud when it gets hectic, and gives the Antidote a more "catch-free" ride. The Antidote is here to blur the lines between all-mountain and freestyle and also, to make sure your winter frickin rules. 

Who's this board for? Speed demons and big senders. Riders who like a stiff responsive feel in the center of the board but want some playfulness in the tip and tail. 

Who isn't this board for? New riders. Riders who appreciate an approachable flex pattern. Anyone looking for a pow-specific board. The Antidote's too well-rounded for you.
