K2 Fatty review

I have recently rode the K2 Fatties and I regret to say, despite K2's profound reputation, that I was very disappointed. Even though they are meant to be a fatter model I still found them too skinny. 1-1.5 cm wider would be more beneficial when riding in powder. I also found that on icy conditions at high speeds the tips would flap against the snow, which cut down on control. Because I'm 6'3 190lbs and I've been skiboarding for four years I would not recommend them for someone with my build or experience. I would, however, recommend them to a shorter boarder with less experience. Lastly, I do have to say that they were very good when merging through the begginner runs to get to the chairlift where speeds are reduced and the terrain is more flat and groomed.
