Hasn’t there been talk of a 164 Dart?
It’s now possible to buy a 140 Dart and the 164 Dart is listed as out of stock...
I didn’t think it was a particularly bad review but the board looked like it was a lot to handle by their riding, and while I don’t pretend to be a better rider it would be nice with more input on the board.
When I asked Korua about it they simply said it was a much more aggressive board than the other boards in their line.
There was something on Facebook about doing a longer board.
If the Trenchdigger had a longer effective edge I don't think I'd hesitate to buy it. I emailed Korua about the Bullet Train and the Trenchdigger. The guy at Korua thought the Trenchdigger had plenty of effective edge and that it had a pretty long edge in the tail. It's just that compared to other boards I've been looking at that 1250 mm is pretty short. Compared to my Tracer it's not that short and with the larger sidecut it should grip well in larger radius turns, I suppose.
Basically carving at various speeds. I'm not eurocarving but I still fell like I have use of the longer effective edge in turns. I feel that a longer edge is a lot more confidence inspiring in the turn and the board feels a lot more on rails.
I do have a Nidecker Tracer and it's pretty much full camber. The Nidecker is very nice to ride, but the turning radius is sort of short when put under pressure.
Edit: I weight +100kg naked...
The Diamond Blade looks very nice, but like you said it's been sold out for some time. It's also not so straightforward to buy in Europe. The Pentaquark is also interesting... it has a weight recommendation of up to 89 kg though. They don't list effective edge on it though.I have a fullbag diamond blade. Talk about riding rails, wow. It’s a beast though. A-game always necessary. 163cm, ee 137.5. First time on the deck I almost killed myself trying to scoot around a skier and launched into the woods.
After that healthy dose of respect I was able to tame the beast. It just blasts through anything while maintaining edge hold. Definitely a fresh legs board. Tough to ride that thing all day then get up and do it again the next morning.
Not sure if Mig is still making boards as it has been sold out on the site for over a year.
Maybe you should try another brand and get the PENTAQUARK.
Between my First Call 151, Slush Slasher 151, First Call 162, Tracer 161 and Pencil + 164, I pretty much feel I have most of my bases covered.
I don't mind this board being a one trick pony, but I want to be able to enjoy riding it. I'd jump on the Bullet Train if I thought I could enjoy it, but I'm worried it's going to be too wide and stiff for me. The Trenchdigger looks awesome and maybe the effective edge really is long enough, even if it's shorter than on my Tracer.
I rode the Banker and I didn't much care for the turn initiation on it, so I'm not sure about the Pantera. Amplid are an alternative to Korua. I've also been looking at the Stranda boards. The Stranda boards have that turn initiation going for them. They have this slightly shorter sidecut just in the nose to help kick off the turn.

The Pantera 166 could be an option for me.
Holy......

I guess it's not an enigma why people buy the usual suspects in the Korua lineup: Otto, Dart, Pencil and Cafe Racer.
I yet have not seen anyone buying the concept boards like the Obelix. The Good Ride rode the Pocket Rocket (which I now can't find on the Korua store), but reviews on the concept line is non existent.
I personally would really like to try the Obelix, but I don't ride the way that would make it rational to get it. A normal day I have to spend time in the piste. Either just riding with my kids or it's just not enough powder to ride something like that. I would get maybe one or two runs on a holiday trip and my weekend trips are always to smaller mountains with no powder.
Did anyone ever ride one of those boards?
