Expert reviews 1
A high-speed carving board filling the gap between the Dart and the Pencil. It makes powerful, satisfying turns while setback and taper put its powder float in the upper tier. It suits advanced riders who can generate speed.
Base shape (camber)
Directional camber
A camber-dominant directional construction that is locked in and quick to respond. Considerable setback and taper give it good powder float despite the camber profile. It sits between the Dart and the Pencil in Korua's lineup.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
Medium-stiff to stiff at 8 out of 10. Buttering and ollies aren't easy, but once speed builds, powerful spring comes out of the turns.
Where it shines
Who it suits
Advanced to expert only. Its response only comes alive with speed, so it feels stifling at low speed.
Good
- ✓Outstanding high-speed carving performance
- ✓Upper-tier powder float despite the camber profile
- ✓Strong damping lets it handle bumpy snow well
- ✓Stable edge hold with a consistent feel underfoot
Not so good
- —Slow turn initiation on groomers, so it needs speed
- —Not suited to switch riding or messy snow
- —The medium-stiff flex limits buttering
