Korua Shapes Cafe Racer Snowboard
- SHOP LOCAL. SUPPORT LOCAL.
Description
Designed for riders who want to explore carving, the Café Racer blends stability with agility. It’s approachable for those learning how to carve, yet responsive enough for seasoned riders to get aggressive on groomers. With its versatile shape, it even floats in powder when the snow gets deep. If smooth, low carves are your thing, this is the shape for you!

Features
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.
Construction Highlights:
Poplar Light Wood Core: Lightweight yet durable, delivering a lively flex and steady response in all snow conditions.
Biaxial Fiberglass: Creates a balanced ride with dependable edge hold and smooth torsional control.
Premium Sintered Base: A proven industry standard that ensures durability, reliable speed, and long-lasting glide.
Brushed vs. Gloss Topsheet: Choose between our classic gloss finish or the new brushed polyamide surface, lighter, more durable, and naturally snow-repellent.
