If haven't already seen. Dope In-Action vid of the revamped Café +, with the turn master . Love how it's become a little edit, these In-Action vids.

dayum, always great riding but this time I was impressed by the camera work. They're still pushing the envelope with new angles.

Watched that last night. Korua edits are some of the best.. inspires me to get a little more creative with shots, but I never do.

As good as the editing is, I wanna say for me, it’s far more the relatable riding. Plenty of street/urban clips out there with some masterful editing that inspires me 0% to want to go ride my snowboard.
They have top level editing, with 100% relatable riding, for a highly effective marketing campaign that almost anyone can relate to.
Like urban/rail kids can relate to Korua edits, it may not be their first choice for style of riding, but they can relate.
There’s a very small segment of the snowboarding population that can relate to a 30 stair down flat down in downtown SLC…. Lots of kids that think it’s cool, but can they actually relate and go out and do it? Not so much. Go out and carve, yup anyone can do that, obviously to different varying degrees, but we all can go carve.
Shit even Yawgoons had carving parts in their videos.

The CR 164 is fuggin wide load at 278 mm ww. FWIW I much, much, much preferred the Stealth 63. CR felt a lot more neutral feeling underfoot, Stealth had a lot more power and snap even though CR was full camber and Stealth early rise. Waaaaaay more camber height, CR was maybe a mm or 2, Stealth had to more like 7-8.
Fuck now I miss my Stealth. Rip it good, @RedsMissingJacket
Bigger CR shape with the "standard" 269 mm waist would be fun. The extra fat waist made it a bit of a load in firm conditions and bumps.

Echoing Spenser's sentiment, totally spot on. I moreso enjoy any KORUA edit, or any quality turning/sidehit video nowadays, than the big production films like Fleeting Time. The relatable riding done beautifully gets me the most hyped to ride, totally agree.

OG TF54 on the left, new TF54 on the right. Took this shot about a year ago after I picked up the updated TF. Anybody else owned both? If so did you feel extra set back on the updated one? Not a perfect comparison obviously because it's tough to eyeball contact points but the inserts definitely look further back here. I think that's one of the reasons I ended up selling it. As dumb as it is the tail shape kinda grosses me out too, it kinda whispers "BX board" to me?
I would REALLY like if they split the differences between an Otto 53 and 57 and gave it 10mm taper. This Otto 55 would suit me perfectly.
