K2 Instrument vs K2 Party Platter

How they compare

Both boards are designed for powder riding. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. Both feature other 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.
