Built to instill confidence in new riders and keep them coming back for more, the First Lites foundation is a directional twin shape and is topped off with K2s Catch-Free Tune. This makes learning how to snowboard both regular and switch as easy as possible as the snowboard will feel identical riding in both directions. The K2 First Lite uses their Rocker Profile featuring Catch Free Tune, meaning that the snowboard is flat in between the bindings with rocker just outside the bindings. This results in easy turn initiation and release of every turn. Easier release equals fewer falls, less time taking breaks, more time on the mountain, and faster progression.
