Yeah - there’s a slew of Japanese companies you can’t get here I want to try: fieldearth, islandsnowboards etc

[Supra]

Island snowboards are ones I 'd like to try but wow, that price tag! 119000yen. That's a nope from me. but props to them for getting Schoph to do the Supernaut typeface and logo.

I would be hitting those used ski shops hard there…saw on some vlog in Japan seeing a bunch of gentems at resale shops

Thinking about demoing the dart in Niseko next month. I'm 135lbs, would ya'll suggest a 140 or 152?

where can you demo Korua in Niseko?

I remember reading somewhere (FB?) that people had demo'd it there. Am probably wrong with my research though.

@kimchi reminded me to try gentemsticks while I'm there.

Definitely demo Gentemstick. Offshore Snow Shapes make some nice boards too.

i wrote up this whole post asking for advice between a CR 56 and a TF 54, then thought about what i wanted some more and ordered a TF '54 that will have Now drives mounted on them. very very hype to join the korua cult, i missed having a shorter carving weapon that really wants to lay deep in a turn but also wants to jump off of everything in sight

You made the right choice!

very stoked, haven't had something shorter than a 160 in my quiver since my OG '52 skipjack japan which was an absolute blast.

curious how the '54 will be at high speed and perform on big terrain, will probably get some use in jackson and snowbird at times if the snow is good!

Noserider still rips. It did not let me down at baldface also rode my Otto 61 today locally and my Otto at whitewater last week. That board rips as well.

Anyone want to sell me an Otto 57?
