Where there’s smoke, there’s usually fire and there’s no event in snowboarding that likes fire as much as DIYX.

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. To clear up some of the confusion and talk to someone who actually knows what they are doing in the field, we had a conversation with Martijn Oostdijk (FIS Park & Pipe)

Introducing the Oakley AURA collection.

Dreaming along with Elio Fumagalli's vivid dreams.
Inspired by the disconnected logic of a dream, the snowboarding in this represents the pleasant moments experienced in our sleep, while the rest consists of illogical elements often associated with it. Sometimes hard to understand, but often connected to real-life themes, somewhere between overthinking and letting go, just following the feeling, chasing paradise while knowing perfection doesn’t exist.

“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.”
