K2 Hypnotist vs Salomon Assassin Pro

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain and freestyle riding. The K2 Hypnotist uses a twin shape while the Salomon Assassin Pro is directional twin. The K2 Hypnotist has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Salomon Assassin Pro uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). Both are rated 7/10 flex (stiff).
