Korua Shapes Café Racer Snowboard

DESCRIPTION

PRODUCT DETAILS

DESIGNED FOR: Intermediate - Expert / Carving, All-Mountain, Freeride

SHAPE: Directional

FLEX: 7/10 

BASE: Sintered 2000 Base

CAMBER PROFILE: The Café Racer features a FULL CAMBER profile, which provides extra stability and maximum grip, as the full length of your edge lies in the snow, while still providing float and speed in soft snow due to a smooth transition into the nose area. We recommend riding this board with steeper positive binding angles and a slightly narrower stance to let the board flex more naturally under your feet.

BINDING MOUNT: 4x2 12-Pack, 20mm Setback

CONSTRUCTION: Biaxial fiberglass, UV laquer topsheet, poplar light wood core, and a high-end perlatec base is the tried-and-tested combination of our durable materials we use to enable that perfect turn.

SIZE GUIDE

This chart shows the range in what each size can handle. It is never our intention to categorise riders and their preferences. Our philosophy of snowboarding is to try new shapes, lengths, widths, and to keep an open mind for alternative riding experiences; however, we do have some limits to consider so that your board will work as it was designed to.

Your weight plays a major role in how the board will flex, and your shoe size will affect toe and heel drag when turning. The below size chart is for reference only, as our recommendations may vary depending on your stance and riding ability.
