K2 Afterblack vs Public s Display - Blem

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain and freestyle riding. They share a twin shape — same shape at nose and tail; rides switch naturally. Common for park and freestyle. The K2 Afterblack has a hybrid (rocker/camber) profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the Public s Display - Blem uses flat_rocker (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel). The Public s Display - Blem is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. At $500 vs $539.95 MSRP, the Public s Display - Blem is the more budget-friendly option.
