If you have paid attention to snowboarding at all over the past decade, you know this is Korua’s specialty. Mike Basher took a grip of boards out to test their carving abilities and it was pretty easy to put this one up at the top of the list.

Korua Cafe Racer – $599.00 Sizes: 144, 150, 156, 159, 164

With its sleek shape, smooth nose blends, and stiff tail, the Cafe Racer is an energetic but fun board to aim at large swaths of corduroy. A “normal” width board with a ~25mm taper (depending on size), the Cafe Racer transitions from edge to edge quickly when you want it to, but its medium torsional stiffness won’t throw any surprises your way. The full positive camber between the contact points loads energy and provides smooth, consistent traction throughout the entire turn.
