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.
Why Ride the Café Racer?
✅ Directional Shape – Designed for aggressive turning and fast carving across groomers and steeps
✅ Full Camber Profile – Powerful edge grip and rebound for pure carving control
✅ Tapered Tail – Enhances float and helps the tail drop naturally in powder
✅ Poplar Light Core – Lightweight, responsive wood core tuned for energy and control
✅ Biaxial Fiberglass – Balanced flex pattern that offers forgiveness without sacrificing stability
✅ UV Lacquer Topsheet – Durable and responsive with a clean matte finish
✅ P-Tex 2000 Sintered Base – Fast, durable, and easy to maintain

The guys at Twelve Boards just helped me to purchase three new Carver surf skates for my self and two sons, they helped advise me on what would work best for all of us as we are all at different heights, weights and ability levels, unlike other shops/websites you get to talk with experienced people that know their stuff. I got a great price and the boards turned up quickly and packed really well with no damage. Couldn’t be happier with the service and gear, very happy to recommend this business to anyone interested in these sort of sports. My next purchase will be snowboards and I will be going through Twelve Boards for that purchase also. Great shop.

Been running the MTE boots for years lift ops and maintenance, better than Sorrels now that they've got a zip side!

There is a reason I always keep coming back to Twelve, the service and the brands. The team are super helpful, patient and don't push their preferences, they listen to your needs and experiences and help you decide from there.
Had a couple of Jones boards previously and they recommended the Howler. Who am I to say no!

Nice sized day pack for short trips and staying light. Can't wait to get up in the mountains to use it.

Top boards...Top service 👌
I purchased two Jones snowboards on-line for my next trip to Japan. Ordering through Twelve snowboards was a smooth experience and they kept me up to date with my order from the time I placed the order to delivery. I would highly recommend Twelve for the best gear, customer service and I wouldn't hesitate to order through them again. Thanks guys!

I absolutely love the bike and use it nearly everyday.
I’m 67 years old but it’s a bit like going back to having dirt bikes in the mid seventies! Also 12 boards was easy to deal with. A great shop.

Why Buy from Twelve Board Store
Twelve Board Store has been riders selling to riders since 2013. We are not a generic retail chain — we are a specialist board sports retailer built around genuine product knowledge, real rider experience and the kind of after-sales support that only comes from a team that actually uses the gear they sell.
Every brand we stock, we ride. Every recommendation we make comes from real experience — on the mountain, in the park, on the street, and on the road. When you call us, you talk to someone who has been on a snowboard at Hotham last weekend or a skateboard in the carpark this morning. That is the difference between buying from Twelve and buying from a warehouse with a website.
We offer services that no online-only retailer can match. Our in-store workshop handles snowboard waxing and tuning, boot heat moulding, electric skateboard and e-bike repairs and assembly, and warranty support handled in-house rather than shipped offshore to a call centre. If something goes wrong with your gear, we fix it. If your boots don't fit, we sort it. If you ordered the wrong size, we swap it — no questions asked.
Our showroom at 435A Bridge Road Richmond stocks the full range across snowboards, bindings, boots, skateboards, longboards, electric skateboards, e-bikes, outerwear and accessories. We offer free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $89, AfterPay and Zip for flexible payment, and fast dispatch so your gear arrives when you need it.
Over a decade in business. More than 1,000 reviews. The most trusted specialist board store in Melbourne. If you need advice before you buy, call us on 03 9421 2293, visit us in-store, or contact us online — we'll get you sorted.
