KORUA Shapes - NEON NOIR
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 дек 2023
- Last winter we made our way back to Japan for the first time since Covid, with aims to dive into the bottomless pit of powder only Hokkaido can provide. And it did. Meanwhile back home in Switzerland we were met with the same conditions as when we left: the complete opposite to what we experienced overseas. This inspired us to search for further contrasts, but also similarities between these two places we hold so dearly - Switzerland, our home, with its towering Alps, deep valleys, tiny villages and old European architecture; versus the serene rolling hills of Hokkaido, and the dense, bustling and vibrant madness that is Tokyo.
Joined by a colourful cast and crew - Nicholas Wolken, James Niederberger, Spencer O’Brien, Runar Hjörleifsson, Daria Fuchs, Atsufumi Mizuno, Aaron Schwartz, Elle Hindert and Nathan McBride - we delved into a cinematic exploration of two cultures and terrains on opposite sides of the world - that are intimately connected to us through snowboarding, yet beautifully distinct in their own ways.
This short film represents more than a mere visual treat; it’s a dialogue of moments and impressions, a narrative that dances in the light and shadows of Elle’s camera lens, capturing the essence of our shared experiences. The heartbeat of Neon Noir lies in its ability to take everything we ingested in a few short weeks and package it into a cohesive visual experience that at times feels hectic and urgent, and sometimes calm, patient and peaceful.
Snowboarding really is a wonderful thing that gives us the opportunity to see the world in a unique light. Join us in celebrating not only these places we were fortunate to spend time in, but also the connections that bind us after we left.

KORUA Shapes never disappoints! Guys, you push snowboard filming to a whole new level! 👌👌👌
Thank you Thomas! Stoked to hear you enjoyed it :)
I'm gonna go run through a wall... Korua Shapes continues to be in a league of their own. Insane work from everyone involved!
I FEEL THE EXACT SAME WAY!
Thank you for the kind feedback :) Much appreciate it. Big team effort on this one, everyone pulled their weight :)
TYSM!
Wow ! That was so cool. Style masters in all departments. Boards, Riders, cinematography, editing, concept. Stunning!
This is magnificent! A short film that totally shows why I even started snowboarding. I've She'd my 43 year old carcass and I'm 15 again watching this.
Thank you Korua
Thank you for the rad feedback - stoked to hear it give ya the feels!
So sick! Much love from Vermont!
Thank you! Much love from Switzerland to Vermont :) Enjoy your turns this season!
Not just a snowboard film. Best one out of all the Korua films so far!😍
Thank for watching and sharing your feedback :) Much appreciate it!
Here we go! Ready for the drop!
Yeww! Hope you didn't spill your coffee hahah
the bar has just been raised... so god damn high... bravo everyone!
Thank you Morgan, much appreciate the kind words :) Love ya buddy!
I needed time to grow up to understand this edit. It's art without a doubt.
Theo truth is that in snowboarding the most important moment for me was finding Korua edits. It was like breaking loose from everything. Binding forward, and here we go, and just go, go, go, and never look back.
Once I though this edit had this ocult thing in the begining that modern companies have to sell more product. I'm sorry. I'm sorry because I felt sooo alive sooo many times because of Korua edits.
I wish I can buy one of Your snowboards some day. Because all the decks I have until now I ride like if they have something in common with the "White Angels"...
My Wife tells allways that other brand's edits etc., are just snowboarding for snowboarders, but Korua is something more to watch.
Absolute masterpiece! Visual and sound journey always one step ahead, keep turnin' ❤❤❤
Thank you for watching and sharing the kind feedback - much appreciate it! Enjoy your turns this season :)
I felt like I was in Japan soaring through the powdery snow on my beloved Korua Otto.

NIce! But I miss those YFT's carving focused slicing groomers videos..🥺 Hope you're bring them back again, f***ing samurai surf shit!!
Thank you kindly for your feedback :) We'll always try and keep elements and vibes of the YFT films in future projects. Actually planning on YFT 11 for this Fall, November 2024.
Don't get me wrong, this is pure A E S T H E T I C snowboard content and i loved it. But does that means Yearning for Turning format is gone ? 'coz i yearn for yearn 11
Not at all! YFT continues. Yearning For Turning, Vol. 11 is scheduled for release this Fall. November 2024
a new goal of mine is to film something as beautifully shot and baller as this
Glad to hear it inspires you in creative ways. Looking forward to seeing your films!
4:52 at Myoko?
Yes, there's definitely some Myoko magic in there :)
holy shit last year was shit!!!! we need a mega snow year
Last year was challenging indeed! Hope his winter graces us with a bit more snow in Europe :) Off to a decent start so far!

The main rider is like in his 40s? I wish i could be as cool as him when i reach 40s😢
Hahah yes, Nico is 40 but has the legs of a young deer :) Hahah
I wanted to be in law enforcement from the third grade, when my mother took me to work the first time. I followed that dream until i was a senior in college. I never drank under age, graduated on the honor role, etc. But my senior year, last semester of college i took an ethics course and we read police reports on arrests. I knew then there was no way i could just arrest people like this. Mowing a weed to have it grow back defies logic.
Why did i watch this now?! SEND HELP!
Hey! How can we help?
I am brainwashed every year by KORUA.
Thank you for watching!

Weird is what we aim for :)
