KORUA Shapes – YEARNING FOR TURNING VOL. 12 – Down Under

Описание: We are stoked to announce our first installation of Yearning for Turning south of the equator! Yearning for Turning 12 "Down Under" is centered around a trip the crew took to Australia in August of 2025. In classic snow bum style we lived out of a van for a few weeks, exploring the connection between snow and surf and even some of the crossover in board designs.

Starting in Thredbo, we linked up with local rider Liam Glass and focused on highlighting some of the more surfy shapes in our board line. After an awesome week in the mountains we headed to the coast to hunt some waves and camp our way north. Liam is the son of legendary shaper Terry Glass and we spent a few days in his home zone on our trek - which gave us a unique opportunity to dive deeper into some cross over surf/snowboard design at the Glass Handcrafts shaping bay.

Overall the trip ended up being everything we could have hoped for. A taste of somewhere new, and the chance to immerse ourselves in the local board riding culture. Loose plans, meeting new people on the road, and emphasizing the love of turning. Would love to thank the whole Glass family, Lincoln, Tom, and the whole crew over at Rhythm for making our trip so special.
