Description
Built for the intermediate-to-expert level rider and shaped and sized to be unisex, the men's K2 Passport Snowboard is directional in every way but remains switch and fakie friendly. Slightly-wider-than-average waist width is met width 8mm of taper to ensure easy turning and float in deep snow. It's complemented by an elongated rocker profile from the front insert pack, throughout the tip. A tighter sidecut radius in the tip and tail allows you to engage turns easily, while a longer radius between the feet makes the turn smooth and predictable progression. K2 added a new blend of ICG 10 Triax fiberglass to the Passport, adding tip-to-tail snap with precise edge performance. This glass layup wraps K2's lightweight A1 core--which features three species of sustainably harvested timber, and all of it sits atop a fast and durable Sintered 4000 base.

Lightweight, snappy and durable, K2's A1 Core is made from three renewable species of timber--Bamboo, Aspen and Paulownia. Aspen-dominant to highlight the snap and response of this wood, K2 has combined it with Bamboo at 30° underfoot to increase strength, supercharge the edge-to-edge response, and increase the pressure distribution along the edge. K2 also placed lightweight paulownia in the tip and tail to help to reduce swing weight.ICG 10 GLASS WITH CARBON
Integrating carbon fibre stringers that run the length of the board into fiberglass increases the snap of the snowboard without adding unnecessary rigidity.SINTERED 4000 BASE
The Sintered 4000 base absorbs wax deep into the material for relentless glide and unrivaled durability.HYBRITECH SIDEWALL
This K2 exclusive technology features a capped sidewall construction in the snowboard's tip and tail. The result is better energy transfer and overall durability.Snowboards Sizing Guide

On average, your snowboard should fall somewhere between your chin and the very bottom of your nose when held upright. There are a few additional details that play a significant role in determining which snowboard size is the right fit for you. After consulting the size chart, be sure to consider your weight, skill level, snowboarding style and the type of terrain you’ll be frequenting.
Here are some reasons for sizing up or down:
- Size up if you are closer to the high end of your weight range or above average weight for your height.
- Size up if you are an advanced/expert rider who is speed-driven and wants maximum power.
- Size down if you are a beginner/intermediate snowboarder.
- Size down if you are a freestyle or park rider looking for enhanced overall control and maneuverability.

Some snowboard models are also offered in wider waist widths, an extra detail that comes into play for riders with larger boot/binding sizes (typically US Men’s 11.5+ or Women’s 13+).
