Korua Pencil [Brushed] Snowboard
Beschrijving
The KORUA Pencil is a unisex all mountain snowboard designed as a single board solution for riders who value smooth turning, control, and versatility across changing conditions. As a cornerstone of the KORUA Classic Line, the Pencil combines a balanced directional shape with carefully tuned geometry to deliver confidence from groomers to powder.
The board features a distinctive outline with a slight swallowtail and tapered tail, creating a playful release out of turns while maintaining strong edge hold and torsional stability. This design allows the board to feel nimble and responsive, riding shorter and quicker edge to edge than its length might suggest. The pointed nose is built to carry speed naturally through turns and provides effortless float in deeper snow, making the Pencil particularly capable when conditions soften.
At the heart of the ride is FLOAT CAMBER, KORUA’s camber profile that blends traditional camber underfoot with a rocker shaped nose. This setup keeps the board stable and precise on hard pack and variable snow, while the early rise in the nose supports easy turn initiation and reliable float. The result is a board that feels planted when carving yet forgiving enough to stay smooth in mixed terrain.
The Pencil is tuned for riders who enjoy directional riding but still want flexibility in approach. While clearly optimized for forward stance carving and powder lines, switch riding remains doable, adding to its overall versatility. The sidecut and taper work together to encourage drawn out, flowing turns, rewarding riders who enjoy rhythm and control rather than aggressive freestyle tricks.
With a medium flex pattern that balances support and playfulness, the Pencil adapts well to cruising, charging, and tree riding. It is built for riders who want one dependable board that performs consistently across the mountain, without the need to specialize.
Clean design, proven geometry, and thoughtful shaping define the Pencil. It is a snowboard focused on turning quality and all conditions reliability, rather than trend driven features.
Backseat-camber
Backseat-Camber or S-rocker: Designed for mostly one-directional riding, S-rocker boards are ideal for all-mountain freestyle snowboarders who prioritize piste and powder riding. These boards provide excellent grip, easy riding, and ample float in powder.
