Bataleon Surfer vs K2 Instrument

How they compare

Both target powder terrain, while the K2 Instrument leans more all mountain/freeride. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. Both feature hybrid (rocker/camber) profiles — mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile. The K2 Instrument is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. The Bataleon Surfer targets expert riders while the K2 Instrument is aimed at advanced riders.
