Obelix
Obelix
For The Open-Minded Rider
This Obelix has been on our minds ever since we started KORUA in 2014. The shape is a true concept board for the experienced and open-minded rider – an absolute must-have for every quiver collector and powder junky. While it needs some skill to ride on hard-packed snow, it really shines when conditions are soft, fluffy, and super deep!

Biaxial fiberglass, UV laquer topsheet, poplar light wood core and a high-end perlatec base is the tried-and-tested combination of our durable materials we use to enable that perfect turn.
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.
