Korua Dart 25/26 - First Thoughts

The Snowboard International First Thoughts are back for another season of in-depth gear reviews, giving you the lowdown on the best snowboard gear for winter 25/26. This time around, the team spent two weeks up in Åre, Sweden, putting the latest kit to the test: five riders, three videographers, and one epic resort. Our test crew praises the Korua Dart’s effortless float in deep snow and laser‑sharp carving chops, thanks to its tapered directional shape, swallowtail, and float‑camber design. It shines with a forward stance and positive angles, offering locked‑in edge hold and slashy surf‑style turns—though it’s not ideal for skidded spins or switch riding. Curious how it handles steep pow fields and tight trees? Here's our review on the Korua Dart Snowboard 25/26. Head over to our channel for more in-depth reviews:    • First Thoughts
