Pros:
This is one of the lightest and fastest boards I’ve ever ridden. K2′s eco-concious design shaves off a ton of weight, but still maintains its structural integrity. The Eco Pop is super responsive and the Flatline technology holds an edge really well at high speeds. The Harshmellow urethane pads (strategically placed under your bindings) help dampen the Eco Pop’s ride so it feels nice and stable plowing through choppy snow.
Cons:
This board is pretty stiff and the lack of camber makes it hard to ollie. It may have just been my lack of strength to manuever a stiff board, but I felt like I had to over exagerate every move to get it to pop off a roller. The textile topsheet holds up pretty well, but each time I ride it frays a little around the edges.
Buy this board…
…if you are looking for a fast and responsive snowboard to shred groomers or half pipe.
