Apreciate your videos, made me buy the original dart, can't wait to ride it.

looking at some of the boards K2 has out this year. Any reviews on the 2024 party platter?

I have the dart 156 classic and the 164 plus. Honestly, I love both.

Hi James, thanks for your (always) neutral and honest review. What do you think of a two board quiver comprised of an All Mountain freestyle board (like Yes Greats) and a snowsurf board that carves really well(like dart?) I think the idea of having a carving board that does powder really well is equally effective but seems harder to find. I suppose this way the two board would allow you to do everything on the mountain reasonably well? (Versus a single all mountain board that does everything so-so)

Spot-on review James. I found the original Dart a little too thicc and gave it to my cousin. You have to think about where the guys behind Korura ride: wide-open European alpine. The Dart needs to go fast in order to get the best out of it. I find myself in the trees more often than not, went with the Bataleon Camel 2 and have enjoyed the best tre-riding of my life with it.

I'd love to know how you go on the 164! Might save you setting back

So based on changing conditions….would the Dart Classic be better? If you had to pick one.

Hi James. Used to ride a Saloman Dancehaul (with Now Orion) but I found it too soft and chatter and I am in trouble to avoid some skidding while heel side turning.. So, I'm thinking about trying a Korua but I'm lost about what model should I go. Once I'm not carver proficient I would like to go to a model that helps me progressing. Need something that is accessible cos I just ride 15 or 20 days per season. What model would you recommend (I have watching all of your Korua reviews and I'm lost). Should I go to an Otto, Transition Finder, Pencil or Dart? (considering that my main issue is holding the tail in heel side carving). I'm 55 years old, 5'9" and 170pounds and ride with backfoot angle = 0º. Any advice would be really appreciated. Cheers.

hi james, thanks for the review. which board from korua is similar to burton custom but floats better on pow? thanks

[Martin-psem]

Hi James. which Korua would you pick oriented to carving and in some degree also for pow terrain? Similar like a Capita BSOD. Thanks!

Dart split 140 is wifeys next board I think.
