The Pencil is a classic line favorite and a true all-round shape, built for effortless turns in all types of snow conditions. It’s designed for those riders who are looking for the one board that does it all. Over the years it has steadily held its place as a go-to-shape in our line, and has withstood the test (and turns) of time.
The slight swallowtail offers playfulness out the back while still providing the stability and torsion necessary for solid edge-hold. The taper makes it reactive, easy to set on edge, and feel shorter than it appears. The pointy nose maintains speed when coming out of powder turns and keeps the spray out of your face.
Bend: Float Camber Profile - Float camber curves into a rocker shape in the nose area creating an S-like shape. This design gives you the lift you need in deep powder, improving float while maintaining speed throughout the whole turn. It also offers response and stability when going for airs or simply turning in variable conditions.
Core: Poplar Light Wood Core
Fibreglass: Biaxial Fiberglass
Base: P-Tex 3000 Sintered

UV Lacquer Topsheet
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.
