Best praise vs top criticism for K2 Excavator
“It's awesome! However, I think a K2 Excavator would be a better alternative for those conditions she is riding in. The Excavator would float better and have better turning ability for carving, cutbacks and deep barrel rides.”
“I can’t speak to the other two, but I picked up an Excavator early last season and it pretty much instantly became my daily driver. It’s *awesome* in pow, and I had no trouble at all in getting it to carve, even in my soft work boots. I probably have 60-70 days on mine, and my only regret is that now my other board gets neglected.”
