Are these boards (and bases) pretty tough? I'm looking for a light all-terrain killer (not too many rails, but I love the air). With all the talk of minimal this and that I figure you have to be sacrificing something somewhere... but at $700 I would love to be wrong about that.

While the minimalist attitude of this board seems kind of sketchy, it actually makes it even more bombproof. Think of it this way, if you have a car made of steel and a car made of titanium, the car made of titanium will be lighter, stronger, and more exensive. Its the same with the board, they used better parts so they could use less of them. The k2 boards i have ridden (and still ride) have proven to be rugged and dependable, and they were definately not their top line boards.
