Korua Shapes are stoked to announce their first installation of Yearning for Turning south of the equator! Yearning for Turning Vol. XII is centered around a trip the crew took to Australia in the fall, exploring the intertwinedness of surf and snow. An open-ended trip in the van and a chance encounter in the mini pipe leading into a road trip chasing waves and visiting shaping bays.
Fostering empathy, equality, and mutual respect with the goal of not only making the mountain a more comfortable space for everyone but also building awareness for different experiences and perspectives within the scene.
The well-beloved railjam fomat has become a part of the larger competitive apparatus. Could Olympic glory be on the horizon even for airtime-averse jib kids? Mid-season railjams - easy money to fuel passion projects, or a death blow to the core values reflected in videoparts? Looking for answers, we went straight to the source.

“Canto Libero is a project about expressing freedom through snowboarding and spending time in nature with close friends.
Even when conditions aren’t always what you hope for, what really matters is appreciating every second out there. Much like in life, snowboarding only feels right when it’s shared with the right people — everything else is mostly out of your hands.
Being present, chasing new spots or pow turns, lets you forget the world around you for a while. It brings back the feeling of being a child — carefree, at ease, and fully present.”

Team weeks - these absolute gems of an activity are so often forgotten about these days. Horsefeathers hasn’t.
The formula is pretty straightforward: nine riders, one resort, four days, zero distractions. Just park laps, side hits, laughs, and a house full of people who are all there for the same reason – to ride together and have the best time possible packed into a few days.
