Who Is The K2 Wildheart For?

The Wildheart board is for intermediate female boarders who don’t want to be held back by their equipment. This board is packed with features that heighten response for precision riding on challenging terrain and weaving between the trees.

The Wildheart isn’t for the fainthearted, be brave and push yourself on the mountain. This board will give you confidence on the groomers and powder so ride harder and faster than ever before.

Shape, Profile and Sidecut

Point the nose down the hill and enjoy the ride, this directional shape is designed to give you the best performance when the nose is travelling forward. The shape is created by a directional profile, tapered tail and 0.75” setback.

The tapered tail naturally sinks into deeper snow, adding lift in the nose. Whilst the setback naturally shifts your weight towards the tail of the board, so you have less work to do in the power.

Directional camber profile features camber in the main body of the board with rocker at the nose. Camber applies more pressure on the contact points, increasing stability and edge hold to give you confidence when carving down the pack. Camber lets you load up powder in the tail for lots of snap and ollie power.

Float over powder thanks to rocker in the nose, providing life and glide rather than just ploughing through the snow. Rocker at the nose helps you to initiate turns with a more catch free experience.

Construction and Materials

Built with a wooden core designed specifically for female riders. Enhanced with a layer of Biax fiberglass to increase the durability of the board whilst retaining torsional flex for a forgiving feeling underfoot.

Carbon stringers run the full length of the boards adding snap, response and power resulting a lively feeling. The placement of the stringers adds durability without increasing weight or torsional stiffness.

Carbon Torque Forks placed at the nose and tail of the board stretches from the outside of the inserts to drive power to the tips and increase response. Adding stability and durability to the board with little impact on the weight.

No high-performance board would be complete without a sintered base. The Sintered 400 base is tough to increase the life span of the board and absorbs wax for keep you gliding for days.

Trade Secrets

Jonny Russell

“Think this board is just a one trick pony pow surfer? Think again, yeah it’s short and wide but this board rips the whole mountain. Mid wide means not only does it float like a dream but with the 10mm taper, it flows super smooth edge to edge on groomers. The Rythem core features super light all paulownia tip and tail, reducing swing weight and giving this board effortless manoeuvrability all over the hill.”
