Who rides a Korua?

Parkerross said:

Noserider - its one of the best powder boards I've ever ridden that thing is a blast in deep snow. Surprisingly not terrible when the pow gets tracked.

Have you tried the Noserider on groomed runs?

Yeah I'm interested in more info between the Noserider and Pocket Rocket and which is more versatile over a range of conditions. Both are available locally but not cheap.

Really? The Pocker Rocket with metal edges? And a Noserider? They're sold out everywhere!

Nope, both available here - but then again that's what the website says which tbh is often very different to reality.

Not entirely sure, but I think the produced something like 10 boards this season.

Finally got the Cafe Racer on some good snow today. Wow that board is a riot. You can ride it totally relaxed but really it comes alive with 100% commitment into a turn. You have to put yourself ahead of the board and then it will grip at insane levels. Which is to say it’s a board you steer with your body. How I rode it was to pick a point just down the fall line while you’re rocketing across it, throw your body down mountain at that point and the board sling shots around that point. It thrives on steeper blues and mellow blacks.

Which mountain though? Mellow blacks are just average blues where I ride.

Despite being stiff, it's not dead at all. Perfect conditions for it today, choppoed up pow along the grommers, and some stashes left still, mostly on the trees. Blasted through the chunder, plenty of float, way better than I expected, and of course carves. It's a keeper for me.

Is this the Korua fanboy thread? I fucking love this board!

I'm new here/old, so maybe people are used to your riding... but what in the hell are you doing riding that fast along the rope tow line?

Got it I still have few ideas to test first, maybe I'll finally go to Korua carving camp they postponed 2 years in a row..I could test it then. Fingers crossed.
I'm 70/176, I like to ride bigger boards than my weight suggests, I think 160 is my sweet spot now.





Thx for the info, to much mainstream in my life I guess.

Finally, we got winter again here. First time on Dart this season. I had to throw myself of Gentem , and oh my god.. I missed Dart so much Gentem seems to be better overall and has zero cons so far, but Dart is just Dart.

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

A french review said "it must be some of the most expensive centimeters of board 😂 "

I'm still unsure wether this board is genius or if is the ski-board/snowblade of snowboarding.

It only looks dangerous on camera (360 cameras make objects closer, and with specific camera settings you can make it look faster). Yeah, it's quite normal to ride between lift like this here.
I didn't scare no one, and guys I was saying "Sorry" to - we laughed together at my fall.

But as usual, the internet knows better. I removed the post.

The footage available from these cameras now days is so good, Such a good perspective for riding - is the editing easy enough or do you need 3rd party software?

GoPro Player is quite good (not counting crashes You can do more on PC than on mobile. When you work on removing rounding near the edges, and you manage to straighten it up, the ride itself seems a lot faster (because the graphic near the edges is stretched out).
Anyway, I usually set scenes and angles in Player then export it and then I edit in Adobe Premiere. For reference, I can export from Player usually after 10-15min of setting things up. And it's ready to be watched, but when I do edits later in Premiere adding other scenes/clips etc, it can take it up to 30-40h to make a 5min video.
One of the reasons I removed my yt channel, started new business and I don't have ANY time for edits at all.

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

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.
