Latest NewsCELEBRATING K2 SNOWBOARDS 21ST BIRTHDAY24 Jul 2008 - K2 snowboards celebrated their 21st birthday at Snow Park NZ on Saturday evening under the lights. The day began with K2 setting up a demo
tent for all to enjoy, and even though the weather was over cast, the crew from
K2 was kept busy setting up boards for customers to test out and enjoy. The event began at 5.30 pm, with over
70 competitors heading out to the 1st feature which was a butter
box. From there they moved onto the
smooth battleship, the down box and then finished off with a session on the
long box to impress the crowds gathered at the Woolshed Bar and Restaurant. The
event saw a range of ages from 10- 34 getting involved. Jamie Basset was on the
mega phone keeping the crowd amped and the riders’ stoaked. Antony Piggins (18), new to the Wanaka
snowboard scene, said the event was “Well organized and super sick. I’m defiantly coming back for K2s 22nd
birthday. So many prizes and everyone
was killing it”. Judges
were given color-coded tokens to hand to the riders as they wowed them with
their tricks. The riders then got to
head inside and redeem their tokens for prizes.
The prize list was huge, with K2, Smith, Sessions, and Base all donating
product. Hoodies, hats, make up bags,
boxers, belts and so much more were given out. K2 team riders Stef Zeestraten,
Heath Patterson, Bex Sinclair and Kiri Binnersly were there to help out with
the judging and prizes, as were the crew from base and plenty more of K2s
friends and family. The
“finals” were held in the Woolshed Bar and Restaurant, with a battle of paper
scissors and rock for the top ten riders for both male and female. Leon Mackay represented the Wanaka locals,
beating out Seamus O’Conner for a K2 dub dub dub board. Seamus walked away with a sweet set of
bindings. In the girls Charlotte Trundle
came second to Queenstown TNT rider Olivia Kalb. Olivia threw down a Paper to beat out
Charlotte and took away a K2 va va voom bored.
The night was finished off with a huge K2 birthday cake, and a 21 shot salute. A great night was had by all! < Back ONLINE SHOP | RENTAL | STREETWEAR | COOL STUFF | GALLERY | NEWS | CONTACT | HOME PRIVACY POLICY | RETURNS POLICY | SHIPPING INFO | HELP
