Korua Shapes - Yearning for Turning Vol XII
December 10, 2025
Carving Surf and Snow
Finding the Snowboard-Surfboard Connection
The Korua crew linked up with local rider Liam Glass to feature some of the more surfy shapes in the Korua board line. After spending a week in the mountains carving deep and floating high, the crew set out to the coast to hunt some waves. Spending a few days in the home of legendary shaper Terry Glass, the Korua crew had a unique opportunity to explore the link between snowboard and surfboard design.

Find Korua snowboards at World Boards
The Korua snowboard crew carried an enthusiasm to explore similarities between snow and surf design when they headed to Australia - and the quiver they brought reflected just that! At World Boards in Bozeman, we either carry, or know how to find the boards you just have to have. We shared information below about the boards featured in this video, and where to find them.
Korua Dart
A Swallow Tail From the Future

A pow board for the resort, the Korua Shapes Dart Snowboard is much more versatile than its pointy swallowtail shape may lead you to believe. It does have all the benchmarks of a deep snow slayer, with that wide nose, short tail, and setback stance, but the braintrust at Korua baked in tons of on-piste capability. They’re addicted to perfecting the art of the turn, and this thing absolutely locks in to a carve on hardpack. It’s wide enough that you can set it on a crazy angle and forget about toe or heel drag, but still quick edge to edge. The Korua Shapes Dart Snowboard is made for riders who love to wiggle.

Korua Pin Tonic
A Modern Pin-Tail for Everyone
Shop the Korua Pin Tonic online at World Boards
The Pin Tonic is a modern pin-tail built for riders of all sizes, not just the tall ones. Designed to feel as quick and nimble as a shorter board while keeping the benefits of added length, it offers stability, extra surface area, and effortless float. From powder fields to groomer cruising, it delivers smooth turns with longboard style for everyone.
Korua Nose Rider
Unlimited stances
The Korua Noseider featured in this video allows the rider the option to slide your feet along the board while riding, granting the potential to hang 10 on the slopes. Change your stance on the fly, or mount fixed binding positions all the way in to the nose of this board to experience the complete potential it has to offer. For a familiar ride, mount your bindings centered. More towards the nose allows you to hang 10 and get more trim and glide out of your ride, or just go all the way in the back for more agility and maximum lift.

Korua Pocket Rocket
A Maneuverable Mini-Rocket
The Pocket Rocket is a part of Korua's Classic line, built for tight turns and creative lines. It features traditional binding inserts, metal edges, and the same quick-turning sidecut as its predecessor, making the Pocket Rocket a playful micro-cruiser. Short, agile, and full of energy, it delivers an extremely unique riding experience, just like a skate deck on snow!

Korua Apollo
A True Asymmetrical Snowboard
A true asymmetric construction that is unique to Korua, the Apollo does not feature any parallel lines - but instead features an asymmetrical sidecut, scoop, effective edge, and flex. Inspired by asym surf design, the Apollo delivers an instinctive, ergonomic, and natural connection between the rider and the board. Enhanced with a carbon weave for increased response
and control, the Apollo embodies the pure essence of carving performance.
