Arbor Foundation vs K2 Standard

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain riding. The Arbor Foundation uses a directional twin shape while the K2 Standard is directional. The Arbor Foundation has a rocker profile (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel), while the K2 Standard uses flat (neutral base between bindings; predictable, often paired with rocker toward tips/tail). The Arbor Foundation is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
