Big mountain and freeride boards don’t come more aptly named than the AK.

Throw in some good looks for good measure, not that’ll you’ll need them in chin deep Alaska’s finest.

Head snowboards are very good quality…  I personally have a Head Transit i (white) 155cm and i’m very impressed by the intellifibre tech they keep talking about…  the only bad thing i can say is “my skill level has not reached my boards level yet”.  i’m tryng to make up for it with more practice.

Ride Head!!!
