KORUA was born from a group of friends, who happened to be traveling snowboard nerds in our 30’s. On a trip to Japan in 2012 they witnessed the country's thriving snow-surf culture and their specifically “built for deep powder” boards. This spoke to their r individual riding styles and interests. So when the opportunity arose to start their own brand, it was clear that the focus would lie on making boards that were easy-to-ride in their home mountains — the Alps, and that would turn exceptionally well. At the core of every KORUA board, is a sidecut that allows you to carve like no others on hard groomers, and a shape that lets you float through powder with ease. They truly are great all-round snowboards.
Transition Finder
Airtime, Soulturns & Trenches
The Transition Finder blends freeride power, freestyle creativity, and smooth carving into one highly versatile shape. With a little less taper than the original, it offers a more centered, balanced feel that adjusts effortlessly to changing terrain. Whether laying out surf-style turns in fresh snow, carving deep lines on groomers, or sending transitions in the park, this board transforms the whole mountain into a playground.
Personality
The Details
The Transition Finder features our FLOAT CAMBER, which curves into a rocker shape in the nose. This profile provides excellent float in deep powder while maintaining speed throughout the turn. The camber under-foot offers extra pop for air-time and great stability for carving on-piste, while the early rise in the nose allows for an easy initiation of turns.

Sizing
This chart shows the range in what each size can handle. It is never our intention to categorize riders and their preferences. Our 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.
