What's up

KORUA Shapes - Eleven By One - A Film By Morgan Maassen IIXI or “Eleven By One” is a collection of eleven one-minute vignettes that each stand on their own, but are also designed and created to fit into a greater body of work. Each vignette is curated to encompass and tell a cohesive story of a winter spent turning on snow with our friends of the KORUA family. During the 2021/22 season we partnered with talented and accomplished filmmaker Morgan Maassen to produce a conceptual short film that serves to capture and celebrate the details of style, turning, surroundings, and emotions – all the elements that make up our own little universe of snowboarding. As a filmmaker, Morgan is not merely a capturer of stunning visuals, but a standout talent for his ability to convey and evoke emotions through his keen eye and curious attention to the essence and fragments of a subject – in this case, snow (and boarding). As a result the viewer is presented with a deeply intimate and thoughtful insight into our take on snowboarding, the environment we move in, the characters that make up our family and their different approaches to snowboarding in the Alps. We hope you enjoy the ride! – – – Featuring: Nicholas Wolken, Lars Popp, Thomas Stöckli, Raphael Rocha, Daria Fuchs, James Niederberger, Luca Kuppelwieser, Aaron Schwartz, Gabriele Torriani, Stephan Maurer Cinematographer & Editor: Morgan Maassen Creative Direction: Morgan Maassen, Aaron Schwartz, Nicholas Wolken Graphic Design: Aaron Schwartz Sound Design: Morgan Maassen Music: Trees Speak, Daze, Monster Rally, Dirty Arts Club

How To Get Barreled ft. Pipeline Master and Surf Legend Gerry Lopez I Cariuma Surf The first thing you should know about getting the perfect barrel? It’s mostly luck, according to the original Pipeline Master. As one of the heaviest barrels in the world, the North Shore Pipeline is where surf legend Gerry Lopez formed a lasting relationship with the ocean, the tube, and shaping the ideal board. (His iconic Bolts are directly descended from the very first shortboard he shaped to successfully ride Pipeline). No question—Gerry knows the way to the ultimate tubular experience. Sit back, take notes, and soak up the epic Super Session archives. Produced by Morgan Maassen #Cariuma #surfing #GerryLopez

Before the Wave: At Home with Surf Legend Gerry "Mr Pipeline" Lopez I Cariuma Surf Before the Wave: At Home with Gerry “Mr. Pipeline” Lopez takes us to the legendary surfer, shaper, and master yogi’s adopted home: Bend, OR. He’s the surf world’s Renaissance man, an early adopter of yoga and consciousness-raising practices, whose talents extend to any sport involving a board. Gerry’s equally respected as a shaper: his signature Bolt boards are instantly recognizable (to have one is like having an original Picasso). We managed to catch him in a rare moment of down time to talk sustainability, mindfulness, and of course, Pipeline. Produced by Morgan Maassen
