Their yearning for turning series is so awesome. I love the simple white/red boards and their shapes.
You don't see much info or reviews on these boards, does anyone riding them have any opinions they'd like to share?
The boards that excite me most are the Pencil, Stealth, Tranny Finder and Cafe Racer.

If I managed to ruin my SPAM I imagine I'd be very interested in one of those.

Lets talk Karua!

That’s pretty sick riding, I took my CR through the park too. It really handles jumps well. Rails on the other hand…

I posted this on the snow/surf thread, but thought it might be more appropriate here, especially since you guys gave me some advice on this board. Thanks!

Got my Korua Dart 164 in 2 days from Germany to rural Idaho. Pretty impressive! Even a nice, personalized written note on the box to "enjoy your turns".

Took it out yesterday for its debut and was blown away. What an incredibly fun board. Holds an edge like I've never experienced before, but was also very responsive and stable. Conditions were almost perfect, with excellent groomers.

I was surprised how little of a transition it was from my other boards. I was really expecting the width to give me issues as well as the more positive stance with my back foot. However, I didn't really notice any challenge. In fact, I was probably even more comfortable with my back foot positive (+10) when before, I usually rode pretty much 0.

Looking forward to trying it in some powder. Unfortunately, we've been in a dry pattern for 3 weeks now, and it appears it will continue for a while longer.

Where do you ride in Idaho?

Brundage and Tamarack, near McCall. I can see Brundage from my house, Tamarack is about an hour away, but I actually like the terrain a little better (and it has almost 1,000' more vert than Brundage).

Rode groomers on the nose today super fun. This boards wants to be ridden narrow and +/+ I was riding like 17"ish and -2/+16 and my rear felt it wanted to be positive and more forward. tomorrow I'm gonna go +15/+25 with like 12" stance. We'll see... but riding slightly towards the nose is super fun we'll see how taking it further up goes. It def didn't hold the carve in ice like the pocket rocket does I slipped out a few times. Tomorrow should have a few inches of fresh as well which should be fun.

When Brundage was getting all the snow earlier, was debating driving over. Have never ridden any of the hills over there.

This thing has sooo much rocker, hard to imagine it holds an edge on groomers but looks so much fun. Can't wait!

I want someone to do some wakeboard on it. Like a video where you ride the snow and then straight to the cable!

In the rainy season here we drag the kids on a skim board along the drains behind a quad bike, this has crossed my mind with the PR

Anyone in the market for a CR - looks a decent deal.

A couple of other good boards in there also

What do y’all think for sizing with a Dart if 140lbs?

I weigh 175 and honestly I'd probably go 152 for a dart.

I'd consider trading my spam for that 156 if he was based in the US.

Hey Everyone,

I am still due to add a Korua in my quiver.
Thinking really hard about a Pin Tonic 172 but that will have to wait.

First, anyone knows if there are some Pocket Rocket available in Europe?

Best,
