KORUA
Founded in 2014, Korua Shapes emerged as a response to the mass production of all-purpose snowboards that failed to deliver a true carving and deep powder experience. The brand started with a small but well-thought-out selection of boards with unique shapes inspired by surf culture. Soon, Korua gained a cult following among freeride enthusiasts, thanks to its minimalist style and unmatched riding dynamics.
Their innovative approach to shapes, exceptional maneuverability, high-quality materials (durable wood cores and reinforced P-Tex bases), distinct minimalist aesthetics (black-and-white design without unnecessary elements), and perfect balance between freeride and carving are just some of the qualities that make more and more riders choose them.
Their originality and uncompromising quality have also inspired our team at TrueRiders to include Korua Shapes in our selection of the highest-quality boards on the market.
Korua Shapes doesn’t just create snowboards – they inspire a new way of riding, focused on the pure joy of moving through the mountains.

A Modern Pin-Tail for Everyone
