Not sold.
The lack of specs and “grommers” turned me off. And “Powster” is awful. Like someone asked their toddler to name it.
Happy to eat my words if the brand grows.

I love to crave grommets with my large sidechick in a full chamber

Kinda wanna see that brand live, every photo they have is shopped, legal text is on chinese, and unless it’s all made up, they seem to prey on instagram people looking to get sponsored or free gear.

Noticed they changed the shape of the Noserider. The first one had a nose similar to the Uberegg, the new Noserider looks narrower and rounder in the front, and more effective edge, and some notches in the channel.
looks like the text on the board is “Noserider Evo,” too.

That was the vibe I got from browsing real quick. I asked, and the korua guys hadn't heard of it, but confirmed it appears to be a copy of the dart.
If I had buckets of money, one of the things I would do is buy products from brands that we aren't sure are real.

Some boards from the Classic lineup (Otto, Transition Finder, CafeRacer, Pencil) will be manufactured in China, moving forward. Engineering and product development will still take place between Switzerland and Germany, and all other boards will continue to be pressed in Poland.

Fuck... Maybe ordering an Otto 61 for a back up to have a Poland produced one
Where did you hear this?

Direct from them. Been in contact with Korua to help start running demos in Ontario. The demo fleet sent our way included a few pressed in China.
