THE
EXCAVATOR PETER SUTHERLAND
Limited Edition
When it came to the graphic package, we turned to Photographer, Painter, Illustrator, Collage Artist, Father, Mountain Biker, Friend, Snowboarder, and long-time K2 collaborator Peter Sutherland. We gave the proverbial keys to the proverbial car to Peter and leaned in on his mixed-media work. Peter constructed an Excavator that truly expresses his personal style - cut and paste paper, photography, paint, and marker - scanned and printed on our matte top sheet so you can add some stickers to the piece and put your own spin on it.
Named for its intended use, the K2 Excavator specializes in digging deep trenches on groomers and displacing powder after a storm cycle.
Built around a wider perimeter, with a dual radius sidecut, the Excavator is unisex in approach. The Excavator’s wider profile allows riders to size down around 5cm from their usual length without sacrificing performance, and it’s extra width and 20mm taper benefits riders with larger feet, reducing toe drag on deep carves and long traverses.
A combination of a smooth-flexing S1 core and tip to tail ICG™ 10 Biax Glass keeps the Excavator responsive and damp underfoot. We’ve also added our pre-cambered Carbon Power Forks™ to boost energy in and out of turns and spontaneous “Slow Sign” ollies. The Excavator is packed with tech to keep you playful and floaty when powder is on the forecast.
We at Boutique Adrenaline, are proud to have been selected one of the few snowboard shops worldwide to carry this limited edition board.
