Korua Darts | White Brushed
Korua Shapes has introduced Brushed Topsheet – a new step in the construction of their Classic series.
This topsheet is designed to be lighter, more durable and more durable , thanks to a production process that uses less material. The brushed polyamide surface is also naturally snow-repellent , which helps keep the board light even during long days on the slopes.
The design is unchanged from previous models. Compared to the classic Gloss Topsheet, the brushed version has a subtle texture . From a distance the difference is barely noticeable, but up close the defined lines of the polyamide surface stand out. The color remains white in classic Korua style, although the tone may be perceived slightly differently when compared side by side.

The Korua Dart is inspired by classic retro powder shapes, but with a modern twist. At first glance it may seem focused on powder skiing, but it's actually a versatile board that's perfect for both on- and off-piste turns. It's the ideal shape for riders who want to get out of turns with speed in all types of snow conditions.
The wide front, setback and tapered rear shape provide maximum float and a relaxed riding experience in deep snow. The extra width also minimizes toe and heel drag in regular runs, allowing you to ride low when carving. The deep swallowtail is playful when you let loose in the powder and also provides a tighter turning radius in the final stages of turns.

KORUA Shapes is an exciting brand for us. Their films express so much of what snowboarding has become for us, and this is where we hope the sport will continue to develop and succeed. Watching them chase a friend through the forest in a wintry landscape, out onto the transport track, and veer off into the next steep slope is something that creates such a longing in the body to get out there.
