Korua Shapes is the brand for riders obsessed with the turn. Built around the pure pleasure of carving and surfing the mountain, Korua's distinctive directional shapes have a devoted following among riders who care more about how a turn feels than how a board looks in the park. At Twelve Board Store we're proud to carry Korua in Australia, shipping free Australia-wide.
The Korua Story
Korua Shapes emerged from Europe with a simple, almost philosophical mission — captured in their film series "Yearning for Turning" — to chase the feeling of the perfect carve. Rather than building a board for every category, Korua focuses on directional shapes designed to engage, hold and release a turn with a surfy, natural feel. The brand's understated black-and-white aesthetic and shape-led thinking have made it a favourite among experienced riders who've ridden everything and come back to the simple joy of laying down turns.
Who Korua Is For
Korua suits riders who love carving and freeriding — typically intermediate to advanced riders who want a board with genuine character and a directional, surf-inspired feel. These aren't park boards or beginner decks; they're shapes for people who want to draw clean lines down a groomer or float through powder with style. If you've been riding a while and want to rediscover why you love turning, Korua is the brand. The range includes the all-round Cafe Racer, the versatile Transition Finder, and powder-focused shapes like the Dart and Pencil.
Korua Technology
- Directional carving shapes: every Korua is shaped around turn feel — engaged edges, smooth release, a surfy and natural ride.
- Shape-led range: rather than tech buzzwords, Korua differentiates by shape — each model has a distinct purpose and personality.
- Powder shapes: models like the Dart and Pencil use taper and directional profiles for effortless float.
Our camber profiles guide and powder board guide help explain how these shapes ride.
