K2 Cool Bean

From pillow poppin’ to hand drags this little bean does it all! 

Length - 144cm

Sidecut Radius 7.4m

Waist Width - 28.7cm

Flex - Med/Stiff

As a dreamer on a budget, I don’t think I am the only one fearful of getting a board suitable only for the waist deep days. Thankfully this year K2 is bringing the Cool Bean to the table, with the ability to surf the deep stuff and slash the cord like a champ. Short; coming in only one size of 144 and a fatty at 28.7 waist this thing may be overlooked by some but it rips! A zero cambered board with a giant nose, fairly aggressive side cut, and swallow tail, allows you to Euro-carve this little beast all over the mountain. Yeti riders no longer have a fear of toe drag on this small package monster; the swallow tail is stiff, holding its own dropping the cliffs sprinkled across Mt. Baker. I took this board out on a 12in Northwest pow day. Fun can be fired on all cylinders with this $500 buy. Find a local dealer and buy.
