The Hard-Carving, Euro-Inspired Powder Missile
The Korua Café Racer is a precision-shaped, all-mountain directional board built for riders who live for deep carves, clean lines, and speed. Refined and re-engineered with surf-inspired geometry, the Café Racer is a cult-favorite for carving purists and freeride enthusiasts alike. Featuring a full camber profile, tapered outline, and a setback stance, this board locks into every turn with power and grace while still offering smooth float in powder and edge hold on groomers.
With a lightweight poplar core, carbon stringer reinforcement, and Korua’s signature UV lacquer topsheet, the Café Racer delivers a dynamic ride that’s equal parts responsive and damp. The wide nose and swallowtail-inspired pintail allow for effortless turn initiation and powerful drive out of the arc. Whether you're trenching corduroy or navigating technical off-piste terrain, this board is made to flow.
