Its that time of year, again. Time to contemplate the same thing I do every season. To buy a CR or to push it off once more?
Who rides a Korua?

Haaaaahhhhaaa didn’t see the *until I copied the quote to reply with a witty rebuttal which I shall now deliver.
I can’t collect a moment on a CR without a CR!
Yeah, I just sat through the Good Ride review, they didn't exactly nail that one.
Seems like a step up from the Trenchdigger, wider and more stable, plus xc ski base.
Been looking at the Pathron Softcarver as a more easygoing alternative.

It seems that they got a concept model early on, directly from Korua. At the very start of the review there is Nicolas Wolken on the Dart.
For a while I thought how the fuck they have such a stylish carver in the review team and he doesn’t speak at all.
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.
It's just that those guys seem to have their mind set on a particular kind of board, which is kind of similar to what I like, and they go WAY more into detail on the boards they like, than the boards they can't really figure out. The whole thing was just about how they didn't like it. Just looking at the difference between the Korua guys and TheGoodride guys riding that thing, makes a valid point. I like riding the Korua boards in a certain way for a few laps, but then I go back to the boards I actually bought.

Recently Korua posted info on Instagram, that they 've been testing some new shapes.
And Wolken said that
"last time only a couple of turns blew my mind like this was probably when ive starded snowboarding 28 years ago ....."
Ok for sure i dont buy it ... But cant wait what they will show Us in future.

There was something on Facebook about doing a longer board.

Lol that review “it’s called the bullet train because it’s a bullet train...BULLET TRAAIN!?”
I saw something at Korua HQ in Germany. A prototype. They had one on the wall that I looked at and a stack of them in the wrapper. It looked to me like a long board with a very deep, tight sidecut. My memory is hazy but I remember it didn't have the usual long, smooth blend zones that the others did.
