The snowboard for seekers of the highest echelon of on-edge performance. Its carving-potency derives from its deceptively long effective-edge, a deep energized camber and its advanced construction.
The Pentaquark exists for seekers of the highest echelon of on-edge performance. Its carving-potency derives from its deceptively long effective-edge, a deep energized camber and its advanced construction. Approaching terminal velocity, you’ll be thankful for Antiphase, a proprietary Amplid tech, that keeps the Pentaquark civilised and precise.
Once mastered, unleashing the Pentaquark on freshly groomed corduroy is a euphoric experience, but taming this wild stallion is not for the faint-hearted.
The Pentaquark is one of three boards in Amplid's Centrifugal Collection, a brotherhood of boards designed for handling high speeds and maximizing the enjoyment that comes from simply turning a snowboard.

The Pencil being the longest board in the pointy tip range is nice for speedier turns and effortless changing of edges in deep snow, it feels quite reactive and shorter than it actually is.
The Café Racer is a softboot carving board, ideal for tight, aggressive turns when tearing up resort groomers. The full camber on this board gives you more grip in turns from tip to tail, and rides like a train on tracks. A good board to learn how to carve properly but also able to handle the perfect turns of a powerful experienced rider.
The Otto 57 is Korua's most 'normal' shaped board...but it's a spectacular performer in all conditions. Don't let the twintip style shape fool you - this board is a setback, fully-directional masterpiece with camber along the length of the deck and a rocker beneath the nose. Made for turning.
