The 157 tranny finder rips so fucking hard, perfect morning board for carving the shit out of groomers, a tad too stiff for me to be the daily, but perfect for a quiver

Sick riding, and also I'm gaga for that jacket. Am I imagining things or do you have your bindings slid back towards the heel edge?

Thanks! Its an insulated Patagonia with custom applied vinyl sleeve, aka "Knapton sleeves"
Bindings are centered, I just have small size 8 feet, IMO better to have heel overhang than toe

@ridethecliche buy that CR and try to collect every Korua. You know you want to. Think of how much internet cred you’ll get.

Funny enough riding the "softened" 2020 TF reaffirmed why I only need one korua in the quiver, there's much better options if you're not looking for a stiff carving board, the Niseko pleasures usually takes over after 2 hours. If the korua is a racecar then the K2 is a BMW M3, so dialed in and the changes from the simple pleasures really changes the boards attitude, I hate saying any board is the best, but this K2 is damn close!

Can you really be a decent intermediate rider if you don't know how to carve yet?🤔

Korua sucks.[emoji6]

Buy Amplid[emoji41]

I've bought Aplid Creamer 168 this year, and took it on my last trip.
Ohhh my... That's. Dope board. Stiff as f... Like for AM board, but preety good carving board.

I gave it, some other dude on Korua CR 159,
And i tooked his board. So i felt on icy slope that Korua was very "slippery".
At middle of the run he stops, and said about his Korua : "Until now i thought that i have great board".

But still love those white bullets but on morning icy groomers now Amplid is my new weapon of choice.

My old Salamon Malamut had 200+ days, I couldn't just let them go… I was losing weight as they were losing stiffness, but this held only up until a point. I'm now on Vans Verse, they are comfy and seem to pretty good all mountain carving boots and a good fit for the Café Racer, but almost only used it from split right now. It's what I bougth it for in the first place, I'll see if I need a second pair of all-mountain.

2nd on the vans verse, been on em for 2 hard seasons, they have been great, minimal liner breakdown and it comes with a stiffener kit to refresh them

 

[16gkid]

The ones that fits.

This is the right answer, everyone's feet are different

 

[16gkid]

I was considering Vans but I think they’re going to be too skinny for my feet. I’m on the wider side of normal

I know 32 runs wide but my last pair broke down so fast, like 12 days, felt ripped off

 

[16gkid]

I'm getting rid of my 157 TF if anyone is interested, I'm thinking 380 shipped to the 48 but might post it on trader and see if anyone will swap me their dancehaul

 

[16gkid]

And now there is only the NoseRider available - seems I got the last Pocket Rocket 2.0

I am in so much shite later tonight - if I haven't posted on the forum for a few days expect the worst - the quiver is anyones but first in best dressed, that's if the better half hasn't burned them to ashes 😂

So yeah - now I have a Korua, albeit only 129 cm's of Korua

Pardon my ignorance, but that seems like the most useless snowboard ever? What is it for ? Like a surfskate with bindings?

 

[16gkid]

Have you ever tried the Rossignol Mini? I love mine. It is my go to when riding with my kids. Makes even little hits more interesting. It’s surprisingly stable and carves great.

sure i get that, but your rossi mini didnt cost 600 bucks

The only real use of any board is to have fun? This board is ridable, maybe it requires certain technique or more efforts in some conditions, but which board does not? It is quite unique but also the brand kinda opposing universality to find new edges in ones riding?

OK?

 

[16gkid]

Sorry man, not intentionally trying to bust your chops. Just looked a little ballsy to me. Not sure how well that would go over here in the states. I have been hit by somebody a few times over the years while they were riding recklessly, and it didn't end well for most involved.

Yep it would be all good till he hit someone, then we're fucking fighting because you're an idiot who also sucks at riding

 

[16gkid]

Another Korua - this time a Dart

LOL @ new snowboard trader, i guess thats where all the scammy rejects end up that get kicked out of the real ST

 

[16gkid]

Can anyone recommend a fair price for a Korua Otto 153 (2021/2022)? I'm about to sell mine. It's only been ridden 3 days. Has a gouge on the base but it's not a core shot.

Let me guess too stiff ?

 

[16gkid]

All that hype and didnt even ride it?!? Yeesh.....

 

[16gkid]

They're all the same board anyways 🤪

 

[16gkid]

Why people think a korua won't be anything but stiff is beyond me 🤭

 

[16gkid]

i dunno, the cafe racer was softer than i expected; definitely softer than the mod. the PR just feels weird being as stiff as it is for it's length, like paradoxical and visually confusing. weird little board to ride.

Well it has to be hella stiff, there's not much board there

 

[16gkid]

short boards are usually soft, like the sushi or the cool bean or capita's spring break shorties. i'm letting others know this board does not follow that trend.

It's not a short board though, its a 129, I hope someone's not dumb enough to think a board like that will ride like a normal board lol
