#Snowboarding #snowboardreview #bestsnowboardreviews #expertsnowboardreview #bestsnowboardadvice
I just love this board. In powder I do not have to talk about it, a dream. On groomers: Its a performance carver, the speed and edge hold you get is amazing. On moguls: The small tail allows you to make really fast and narrow turns. Just go bam, bam, bam. But you have to be fit to enjoy the advantages of the board. A board for advanced riders.
All the negative reviews here need to understand what this board was designed for. It’s a high speed carver and powder stick that needs a more freeride oriented binding and mindset. In my opinion it rides exactly as K2 and Angry’s reviews state so if you want something more playful and mellow get, a party platter, dancehaul or something similar.
I rode someones and it had way too much torsional flex. I hated it.
@@brianp9268 There you go. At least you hate it for the right reason.
@@kensmith9292 like you are saying i think there is just a marketing/expectation issue with the board. Some think it is supposed to be a party board. I heard it was a freeride charger and my expectations were a little off. A few people I ride with think it’s absolutely perfect.
@@brianp9268 Yeah, like he said, it’s mainly a powder stick that can hold an edge between stashes. It’s definitely not a charger or party board.
Great point, this is the dedicated carver in my quiver. For icey days, it can’t be beat. I can lay down a cave with fully confidence. It’s never slipped once. Also, have the Party Platter and as the name suggests, it’s a blast. My other super fun board is Never Summer Harpoon and is my go to for playful surfy side hits and trees.
Just bought one and I love it. Rips hard on groomers and has good pop. Can’t wait to try it in some pow
It is really easy to load up to pop.
Gonna ride mine for first time on Wednesday. Going with some really good riders. Apparently going to Alpental and thru Nash Gate for back bowls. I’m excited.
Hey! How do you like it? I’m thinking of picking one up myself.
@@user-jz2dw3km2s One thing I’ll say, is that this is the worst season for testing this in PNW. That day at Alpental might have been the worst conditions I’ve ever ridden. Wet couple inches on top of ice. Went last Tuesday to home mountain with 4” of wet fresh. It was fun in stashes.
Excavator really only good for powder and even-snow carving. IMO. Kind of a one-trick pony. Groomers pretty good. You gotta put a lot into it but it definitely trenches. Carving on morning groomers and smoother snow good. If you’re making turns in tracked out trees, or powder that’s a little tracked, meh. Not very nimble edge to edge. Stiff in the wrong places. It’s got weird torsional flex. Tons of nose if you’re trying to ride over chop and tracked-out terrain. Kept bucking me into back seat cause of setback. Everything about this board says “I’m not killing any quiver”. The Ravine Select I have is way better freeride, probably all-mountain board, although it’s probably a touch stiff for park. A better rider than me might say different and be correct.
Also, I’m 100% sure that I suck at riding compared to Angry. But if you want a powder surfer that carves when you come down from bowl, come out of trees, etc.
Just bought one and can't wait to see what this snowboard can do! been looking for one that is good with turning, and is just fun to ride. Hopefully it's better than the one I've had for the past 3 years.
Gotta be so happy with this boards ! Great carver, fun and smooth on edge - love it ❤
this board is awesome. its the perfect volume shifted ripper. its softer than you think and is super manuverable thru the trees and what not. stable at high speeds too. just make sure u downsize 4-6 inches
Fully agree ! Live this board so much - it’s crazy !
I just got a stupid hookup on 2024 Excavator 154. Bro Niño is harshing the entire state of Washington and PNW. Ghey. But I have a feeling it’s gonna be a longer winter/colder spring. I got a 154 Instrument last year. From what I can see and the specs, they’re almost the same board. Lots of nose. Lots of taper. I think Excavator gonna give me an edge in powder. I know the two mountains I go to pretty well, so I’ll be able to tell soon, how different they are, or are not.
This was my daily driver for 2023. Got it based on an Angry recommendation in the 150 and it was amazing, esp. for all the dumps we got in Tahoe last winter. It seems more at home in powder than on hardpack but can still rip across the firm, beat-down stuff and get you to the bottom of the hill at the end of the day.
What's your weight/boot size on the 150?
@@tinsley_alex 145lbs(65-66kg) and size 9(US)
I’d also love to know your height since I’m debating getting this board
@@tinsley_alex 145lbs, riding with a Men's 9 Wide K2 Maysis boot.
@@mashedtaters1033 5"7' (approx 170 cm) , currently weigh about 145(~65kg)
Great review. Been eying this board for like 3 seasons but it's just a bit too pricy where I am at. But as soon as a used one or last years model become available somewhere I'm getting it, unfortunately it seems to sell out everywhere with no leftovers. Thank you for being very responsive in the comments and the advice and decisions you provide for us indecisive folks. Love from the Scandinavian north.
I've replaced my Bataleon Goliath 159 with K2 Excavator 154 22 as I'm not really freestyle oriented (only hitting big features) and I must say this board rips! The camber is precise and compared to 3D base of Bataleon when it locks, it just goes. I personally didn't feel like the chatter from the nose resonates to the front foot, but I can certainly see it in high speeds. K2 does sidecut radius really well and it's amazing how much power this board has, but as it was mentioned in the video, you can ride it "lazy" and it won't be a problem. For me personally it is a all mountain ripper and quiver of one, as I don't care about freestyle. And don't even get me started about powder performance... float for days.
Maybe something changed from 22 to 24 board, because I remember watching your video on 22 Excavator and it was completely different review.
And how it’s going on groomer in your opinion ?
It's a sick board. Or at least my 02 is. Bought based upon these reviews. Very happy 2-3 years on.
yes! i love this deck, absolute ripper slayer, keeper and for me i liked it better than the telos back slash or the ride super pig/both also great decks, the k2 was more fun.
Can you tell me more about comparison to superpig?
Was waiting to hear your review on this year's Excavator. It feels like last year's model was more "fun" overall? I remember you were adamant about not sleeping on it.
2 years ago. Last year's and this year's model has the same core.
This will be my 3rd season on the excavator. I love it so much. When the skiers are tip toeing through the chop, you can just blast through it and boost side hits. So much fun to carve switch too.
100% agree. I rode this on two powder days last year. It was a great ride all day because it floats well on pow, and then easily cuts through all the choppy leftovers. Riding groomers felt smooth overall, and the tail had enough snap to have fun. I want to buy one, but ended up with a K2 Passport.
How you like passport ?
Got it this fall and haven't had a chance to ride it. People have told me I'm going to love it. It is highly reviewed @@xarmantis289
curious how you like the Passport! Got one for the upcoming season and can't wait to try it out.
To answer you guys, it’s a unique damp yet snappy board out of turns that likes to go medium fast. I’m old school so for me it initiates turns almost too fast but it does a lot of the work for you if you’re just cruising. It’s definitely a free ride board so if you want something more all mountain or park oriented go with the shadowban or something similar.
Thanks for sharing @@kensmith9292
Nice Edgar Allen Bro. Real nice bro.
Brohdisattva sure knows his brocabulary
The bronacular is bromazing

I ride the Salomon Dancehaul and I really enjoy it. I sometimes wish it was a little stiffer. Would you consider the Excavator an upgrade worth considering?
Possibly
Scored a 158 for $350, gonna replace my 156 orca which im gonna sell. Excited to try her out!
I was looking at the Excavator or the Dinghy? Tried the excavator at a demo day and loved it, but saw your review on the dinghy and seemed like there is a ton of hype on that one. Any suggestions? 6'8, 215lbs, size 14 boot
If you loved it, buy it!
Would Bataleon Astro asyms be good for the excavator?
Yes.
I'm really considering picking up this board on sale from my local shop right now. they only have a 150 left. I'm 5'8 155lbs size 9.5 boot and medium size bindings. I'm concerned about the taper in the tail, will there be toe/heel drag? My other boards are twin and directional at 157/158. Would the 150 too short/small?
Thanks
No you'll be fine.
I love this board and it is my go to for trips west resort riding while not on my split. I do however live in the Midwest as was curious if there's a true twin you would suggest that rides like this.maybe a bit stiffer with more pop. Of my 3 decks (westmark rocker, Rossi OneLF, excavator) the K2 is my favorite feel. I'd like to find a twin I can get more switch riding on and park time with my grotch goblin since he's old enough now.
Thanks in advance
?
I have capita OSL as my chill freestyle board and I want to pair it with stiffer powder/freeride board. What size do you guys recommend for 175lb 5”9’ foot 9?
51 or whatever is closest to that.
I daily a Yes Typo and have been getting more into some powder riding and tight trees. I want something floaty and maneuverable that can also handle some chop/ cement here in the sierra nevadas. Would you recommend this board? Any other recommendations?
Definitely this for sure.
@@AngrySnowboarder Thanks. I’m 6’2” 220 lbs do you think I’ll be good on the 158? Size 11 boot. I’ve only ridden 161+ twin all mountain boards but seems like I could size down with the slight weight shift of the K2
Hi there, first of all love your reviews. Based in Ireland and board in Europe usually.
I have a K2 Turbo Dream 157W, and more recently a K2 Joy Driver 164 which i can wrangle but find that its a bit of a chore a bit later in the day. Im 6'1", weigh about 200lbs with 12 boots. Im looking for a board that is volume shifted. I love to charge but also have friends that are learning to board so I was hoping to have one board that is powder capable, side hitty, nice carve vibes that a volume shifted brings to the table.
Im loving the sound of the dance haul, but Im worried it might feel a bit unstable at speed like my old turbo dream. Then on the flip side I dont want to end up back in the land of having to keep on top of the board and watch out when you want to chill.
Would the excavator do the slower side hit fun stuff and still allow me to push on, without too much of a comprimise? Or would I get away with the dance haul from a stability perspective.
Thanks a million
Sincerely appreciate some advice on sizing please…I’m 172lbs, size 9 boots. Ill be using the board mainly for pow days and tree runs…150 or 154?
What kind of snow? Heavy and wet or light and fluffy?
I Normally ride in Japan, Australia and NZ…… so most of the pow will be light and fluffy in Japan
Go with the 50. I think the 54 with your size 9's will be a bit of a boat.
@@AngrySnowboarder thanks very much for your help…
tossing up between this, the gremlin, or the mind expander. Would be my second board, first being a park board and this primarily for powder with some versatility for all mountain and even end of day small-mid kicker laps. Havent found any info as to how any of them handle smallish park jumps. Any thoughts on this? im 165lbs size 10. Thanks
They'll both handle it but won't be their strong suit. Mind Expander is a bit better.
thanks man. Legend.@@AngrySnowboarder
Did you end up getting a mind expander, if so what size did you go for? I’m thinking of it as a pow/ resort board and I’m a similar size to you
Great Review. I'm 5'9", 185lbs, size 9 boot. riding mostly whistler, mostly groomers, some pow and trees. 150 or 154?
Get the 54 that heavy snow warrants it.
how does it compare to a korua pencil or dart?
Darts way stiffer, pencil is noticeably softer.
Hahaha I have the Rome DOD’s to go with this board!
Of the Union Binding line, which model would be best suited for this board and for ripping powder and groomers at Mammoth Mountain?
Atlas or Force.
This deck is considered Volume Shifted correct? I ride a 166 im 200lbs, riding big mtn etc, the 162 would be okay?
You might want the 58.
@AngrySnowboarder really hey? I heard we only drop about 5cm with this board
@AngrySnowboarder also heard this board isn't as good for riding switch? I'm 6ft5 200lbs give or take, would the ride berzerker 163 be ideal? I ride a capita 164 back in 2015, found i nosed in alot on pow landings
I’m torn between what size to get. I’m 198lb 154 or 158?
Currently on an old lib Jamie Lynn Phoenix 157W and love it in pow but am ready to upgrade. Thanks!
54.
Hey Angry,
I currently have a 164W alchemist as my deep day/whistler board, and a 158 psychocandy as my daily driver.
On the right day the alchemist is great, but most of the time it’s too much board for me and I’m 6’3, 220 with 13 boots.
Wanting to replace the alchemist with a powder oriented freeride board that’s easier to get along with.
Would you recommend the excavator or the passport and what size?
Thanks!
I guess Passport?
@@AngrySnowboarderany other boards you would recommend? Nicecker super light or GNU banked country?
I’m debating between the K2 Excavator, Jones Mind Expander and Salomon Dancehaul. I’m looking for something with a good amount of torsional flex so I can rip around in the trees and feel comfortable with being able to swing the tail around quick. But not so much to where it lessens the dampening when flying on groomers. I’m 6’2, 200 lbs, 13 boot, please help 😫
SPAMMING?
Ive been holding out for two seasons trying to figure out to go with this or the Nitro Squash. Want a board that floats effortlessly but can still hold a good edge on groomers. Im 6ft 2 180lbs size 12.5 boot.....i do like to charge hard when im feeling frisky. Which board would you likely choose?
This.
Hey Man, quick question. I am coming from a Korua transition finder (recently broke) and absolutely loved the board for all mountain purposes between groomers, powder, side hits/jumps, etc. Would the excavator be similar enough/worth the purchase? Compared to the transition finder?
I am 5'11", 190lbs, and size 11 boot. Thinking of going with the 158. I was riding a 157 transition finder.
Whatcha think? Thanks in advance dude 🙏
No, it's more pow focused and less versatile than the Transition Finder.
@@AngrySnowboarder got it, appreciate the feedback!
I just bought this board in a 162 not realizing it was volume shifted. Last season I rode a 163w. I'm 6'3" and 205lbs. Should I stay put with the 162excavator? I don't see why it wouldn't still work great even though I didn't downsize
It'll be a boat on edge.
Would this board complement the K2 alchemist well? Thinking of a second board to pair with it.
Oh hell yeah!
Oiiii bought the 150 for upcoming trip. Normally ride 154- 153 for my all mountain. I’m 5 8 160 ibs size 9 boot. Haven’t tried it yet (live in hawaii) but looks big under my feet! What ya reckon??
No you're fine, go shred.
@@AngrySnowboarder fucken rights bud! Japan here I come. Mahaloz
Would a ride c8 be a good match or something softer like a K2 formula?
Either
Would you prefer it over the Ride MtnPig? I would like to ride fast and carve hard even through harder spots of snow - not just powder. Which one is faster and better to control? How is the grip of the edge compared to each other? My binding is the GNU Psych. Would that work with each other (both of the boards)?
Just coming in hot with all the questions.
Too hot for you I guess. 🥳
And that's why I'm not answering these questions.
@@MrIr0nhideoof..not the correct response
I'm 5'8, 175 lbs, size 9.5 boots
What size should I get for K2 Excavator?
54
Hellow. So i am interested in this particular board that is called: K2 X BRAIN DEAD EXCAVATOR UNISEX SNOWBOARD 2023. I need to know if this board is good for carving and powder. Also if you can tell us how playfull it is, it would be great. I hope you will answer. Have a great day!✌️
Did you watch this review? There you go.
So it is exactley the same thing? 😅
Different graphic, same board.
@AngrySnowboarder, considering getting this one - but I also have my eys on the Nidecker Beta APX or the Amplid Surfari. Since you have ridden them all three, which one would you prefer for Pow and slaying groomers? Size 13 boots and 215 lbs.
Or maybe you have another recommendation?
They're all solid.
@@AngrySnowboarder Would recommend the 158 or the 162 in terms of weigh and boot (13 and 215 lbs)
58.
5’10 190 size 9.5 boot, what size would you recommend?
I need a pow board for snowmobile access, my Nitro Team sinks on lower angle, waist deep pow. I’m thinking about this in a 158cm? I’m 6’, 185lb, 30+ years riding
It's meant to be ridden shorter. 58 is going to be a boat.
@@AngrySnowboarder So, what board would you recommend if float is #1 priority and you can’t stand floppy boards?
I'd look at a Ride Mtn Pig honestly.
How do you think this K2 stacks up against the Rome Stalefish for Tahoe pow days?
It's more pow focused.
Just got the excavator but only have the Nitro Team (not the pro version) bindings. Will these bindings match with the excavator or will I need something stiffer like the Union Force?
You're fine, go ride.
@@AngrySnowboarderthis is why you’re tip top
Currently on the nitro Squash looking at the K2 Passport and K2 Alchemist any suggestion ?
The one that fits your needs.
@@AngrySnowboarder I can always count on you to hit me with a wild reply… you’re the expert !! I bomb at times mostly just mess around. You steered me to the nitro LOVED IT. Just looking for a new deck torn between the two….
@@timholiday5711 laid back and more play Passport, all gas no brakes Alchemist.
Hello Mr. Angry Sir,
I bought this board 2 weeks ago in a 154. K2's site indicates you can downsize 4-10cm, but I am worried it's a bit too short for me after reading through some comments. (Have not ridden, can still return).
I am 6', 200lbs, size 10 boot. Intermediate-Advanced.
Would you recommend sticking with the 154, or exchanging for a 158? Downsized a bit extra for trees originally,.
Thanks for any input!
You're fine.
Thanks
I am really trying to figure out my cat boarding board that thrives in deep pow and tight trees. I was looking at the NS Swift, but you mentioned something about it tasting like lasagna, which I love lasagna, but for a board, did not sound so good. So now I am thinking this. Am I on the right track or is there something else (Jones Hovercraft? Yes Un Inc., Capita Navigator?) I should be looking at? I am 6'1" and geared up, 205lbs. 58 or 62??? Help me Mr. Angry.
Any of the listed boards are better than that Never Summer. How deeps the snow going to be and how heavy?
Usually catting in Inner-BC/powder highway or Utah. I rode my Kazu in deep at Red Mountain and it was a dog for float - so I am now jittery about float and leaning to the 62.@@AngrySnowboarder
If you go with the Navigator bump up to the mid 60's. Hovercraft 62. I assume you mean PYL UnInc so I'd go with the biggest one of that.
I’m 5’5”, 140lbs. Would you recommend 142 or 146cm? I currently have a lib tech orca 147cm, and I wish it was the 144cm, but I don’t want to get another orca… I want something a little different. Thanks for any suggestions🙏🏼
Sell the orca and get the 146 excavator.

@@AngrySnowboarder Thanks a a lot. I have just seen your Hybrid review. I am buying a Burton step on binding that is very responsive. With that in mind do you think the 153 Yes Hybrid could be a better choice?
Step ons are far from responsive.
@@AngrySnowboarder It’s good to know. I read from another reviewer that they are so responsive that you need to use mellower boards.
@@globoaviacao there's a lot of people doing reviews that don't know what they're talking about as there is no standard or barrier for entry.

Stranda is a little more torsionally soft and nimbler.
@@AngrySnowboarder thanks!
I have this board and I fuckin' love it
Ok but … Avran … last time when you were reviewing this board you were so much loved in it …. And this year … ok ,it’s really good but … not as much… I just wonder what has changed so much … especially that so many people was just thrilled because of this board (22/23 model) Regular users , other influencers (Curated, Snowboardingprofiles Kevin, even The Goodride Guys).
Just asking :)
I got one from previous year 22/23 (162 - I’m a big boy 6.3 ft , 230lbs , boot size us13) and be testing this bad boy soon , mostly on groomer I think.
Hope it will be a good choice :)
You just mentioned some of Angry's best friends!
Why the fuck you listening to those chuds for? Also you're acting like a board can't change from year to year.
@@AngrySnowboarder just asking right? , and what was wondering me is that all of these guys has mentioned that this board is a real blast. 💥
Nevermind , it will be good to test it and compare to you and their opinion :)
“Chuds” lol Summit Country speak.
How would you compare this to the Mind Expander/UltraME?
More regular ME over the UME. It's not as torsionally soft as it and has a little bit more rebound to it.
Passport and alchemist review coming soon :)?
Nope
Have ride finally fired the people that ruined the 19/20 superpig and warpig graphics? The fact that I prefer a board that looks like a drunk man took a marker pen to it than their last couple of efforts says it all 😄
I actually bought this board a few months ago, based on the previous review of it here, but I found it one of the biggest disappointments of my Snowboarding life.
The best way to describe it is, 'Dull'. It's like a glass of water. Unadventurous, Nondescript, Insipid, Lifeless.
It is stable and damp, but then again so are many other boards, but they still manage to preserve some character. On edge, you don't feel any spring from the camber under foot. It's sidecut sucks.
Not ridden it in Pow, but wouldn't want to either.
And the Union Force would be too soft for it.
What’s your stats and what size did you buy?
Felt the exact same way: I had last year model, in 154 (for 78kg/size 8 boots) … had no fun on it, liked it a little bit better on groomers than in pow though, but could never really figure it out: switched to (last year) bataleon cruiser, and I had such a blast on the same slopes … I guess I like my boards with a little bit more flex.
@@AngrySnowboarder I bought a 146cm. I'm 167 cm tall, weigh 75 Kg, and wear size 7 Thraxis boots. My 147 Dancehaul and 153 Souly-Grail are full of fun and character. The Excavator has none.
I rode a 146 at 140lbs and found it very disappointing. Not sure if its their idea of unisex though at 146 because people do seem to like it.
I love mine
Ehhh pass
Do you know if you’ll be reviewing the new lib tech off ramp?
I do.
