K2 Tree Splitter

Ik Ik, this is a ski forum, but Im desperate for a surfer. These seem like a bomb deal, but no reviews and Im skeptical. Anyone put their hands on one? Impressions?

yup. that's all.

The Tree Splitter is super fun! Not to be confused with a 3D pow surfer that you'd drop a few hundred on but more something just rad to have at the house that anyone can have a good time on. Wood laminate core (like a skateboard) with a snowboard base. Rope handle connected at the nose that you can also re connect to the board at the middle.

I definitely recommend if you want something fun to cruise around the neighborhood or mess around on!

what's the big difference between snurfers like these and 3D (?) pow surfers?

What your saying is this isn’t much of a ripper for some good ol woods ridin? Was thinking of taking it outside of the ski area for some tree ridin. Ripped a Shark a couple times and loved those. Doesn’t go on edge well im guessing?

A 3d pow surfer with a more articulated pad on top will give you a full riding experience that you would look for in a modern pow surfer. I have found that the 3D pad and shape to those boards really allows for you to have full board control without the need of bindings or a rope handle.

The K2 Tree Splitter is more of that classic type snurfer that just gives more of that OG riding experience that you'd find from years past. Totally works ripping through some deeper snow but also works if you want to use it for dicking around the driveway. I personal love these when I know that we're just out there having fun, ripping around the neighborhood, maybe some side country stuff.

There's no way you'd want to ride a 3D pow surfer for anything besides deep snow - wouldn't really work and you'd ruin it.

I keep it in my truck in the winter time for those - "oh damn, that'd be fun to ride down!" moments.

I use mine for stuff like this for sure! I don't personally have a 3D pow surfer so this thing gets used for everything. Just hold onto the rope handle and let it rip!

I've also used the Tree Splitter for sideyard jibbing also. A 3D pow surfer would never.

I also like the Tree Splitter more than a more expensive pow surfer for variable conditions. Since pow surfers really only work in deep snow because of the nature of how your feet stay to the board - I feel like having the rope handle allows for you to just go out and have fun regardless of how the snow is. I wouldn't try to bring it down an icy face but we've had plenty of fun taking these out for springtime hikes in the slush.

oh you're preaching to the choir, i have a snurfer and it's so dope for the woods around my house or like you said any good hill i come across. i'll just drag it behind me and explore with my dog, and it glides really well so even super shallow hills are fun

thanks for the answer about more serious pow surfs. unfortunately i don't currently live in a place where one would get used

glad to see k2 is making these! theyre so fun to have around

Would you bring this with on a sled for messing around, or should I get a nicer one? i think it sounds perfect for when my friends are on a mission and I'm hanging out in meadows with smaller hills.
