K2 Eco Pop Snowboard 2010
Gretchen Bleiler’s new pro model snowboard is a serious upgrade from the K2 Mix. Since she is highly earth conscious, Gretchen’s new board, the K2 Eco Pop, is full of eco friendly material from K2. The K2 Eco Pop features K2’s new Flatline tech which means the board has absolutely no camber or rocker. Don’t worry though, this board is so packed with carbon that it is just as responsive as a traditional camber board.
Product Review: I was hesitant at first about this board; the Eco Friendly construction makes it unbelievably light and I thought it would be super squirrely. But K2 did an amazing job with the EcoPop. It is super stable underfoot and is one of the quickest boards I’ve ever ridden. Bravo Gretchen, the K2 Eco Pop is easier to ride than the Mix, but just as poppy and fast.
Compare the Ride Canvas to the K2 Eco Pop for high-performance women’s snowboards.

Shay’s Honesty Box: K2 surprised me at SIA, I was expecting more rocker and they came out with flatline technology and I questioned it at the time. Now after riding the Eco Pop, there’s no question on why K2 did this and I really liked how it rode. For me it’s a good medium between camber and reverse camber but with K2’s signature style. It’s the first eco friendly board that I would actually purchase based off how it rode.
