The all-black Pencil Plus is a premium all-round shape for effortless turns in all types of snow conditions. Its super light weight makes it more reactive and prevents fatigue and also comes in handy strapped to a backpack on snowshoe missions. As this shape is part of our PLUS line, it offers additional quality and performance. The upgraded base, core and topsheet create a lighter, faster, and more responsive ride, designed for riders looking for a board that does it all.
The slight swallowtail offers playfulness out the back while still providing the stability and torsion necessary for solid edge-hold. The taper makes it super responsive, easy to set on edge, and feels shorter than it appears. The pointy nose maintains speed when coming out of powder turns, keeps the spray out of your face, and allows for a smooth initiation of turns.
Bend: Float Camber Profile - The Pencil Plus features our FLOAT CAMBER, which curves into a rocker shape in the nose. This profile helps you stay on top in deep powder while maintaining speed throughout the turn. The camber under-foot offers grip and stability on hard-pack and in variable conditions, while the early rise in the nose allows for an easy initiation of turns.
Core: Paulownia/Poplar Light Wood Core

SIZING
This chart shows the range in what each size can handle. It is never their intention to categorize riders and their preferences. Korua's philosophy of snowboarding is to try new shapes, lengths, widths, and to keep an open mind for alternative riding experiences; however, we do have some limits to consider so that your board will work as it was designed to.
Your weight plays a major role in how the board will flex, and your shoe size will affect toe and heel drag when turning. The below size chart is for reference only, as our recommendations may vary depending on your stance and riding ability.
