Cruising through the intersection of East Coast and West Coast, somewhere between the mountains and the city, we met Whaffle. (@iamwhaffle)
Born and bred in Red Hook, Brooklyn, Tashawn “Whaffle” Davis is a young artist inspired by both the novelty of New York City and the nostalgia of its past. He believes that the 70’s was a time where both style and politics seemed to be welded together, and self-expression was globally ubiquitous.
Embodying culture of New York in the 70’s is a lifestyle for Whaffle. From his true vintage garb to the wood paneling, shag carpets, and sepia hues of his astonishingly preserved mid-century apartment, simply being around him is enough to feel transported to another era.
We teamed up with Whaffle to introduce a limited collection of skis and snowboards brought to life in his city and his home through the lens of photographer Giovanni Reda. (@giovannireda)
A portion of the proceeds from each product sold from the K2 x Whaffle collection will be donated to The Hoods to Woods Foundations, a nonprofit organization based in Brooklyn, New York that promotes awareness of the outdoors to inner-city youth through snow sports.
Mindbender Skis
The Mindbender 99Ti boasts the most well-rounded skill set among its peers thanks to a moderate waist width, Titanal Y-Beam construction, and our All-Terrain Rocker profile. Striking the perfect balance between agility and stability, this ski is responsive in the deep and soft while holding its own at high speed. All in all, the Mindbender 99Ti is a guaranteed good time.
Manifest Snowboard
Blurring lines between freestyle and freeride, the K2 Manifest is a versatile, sleek, speed machine with a mid-to-stiff flex that’s built to withstand the beating that’s inherent in big mountain freestyle snowboarding. The Manifest is a directional twin tip snowboard with a Combination Camber Profile, giving it a consistent and predictable feel while riding switch or regular, and adds a bit of rocker to the nose and tail of the board.
From big mountain lines to the big lines in the park, the K2 Manifest is an all-mountain freeride snowboard we think AROB would be proud to ride and is the quiver killer you’ll never leave at home.
