omskates Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Anyone know about "Special Snowboards" in Japan? I saw a yellow 164cm for sale but can't find any info. Thanks:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omskates Posted February 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 OK so just saw this obscure Japanese board and found it interesting because of the V-tail and looks to be made in the last 6 years or so. Has a weird quadratic sidecut with very large radius at the ends. http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://www.specialsnowboard.com/board.htm&ei=CNhUTcO1FJO2sAO8xp3dBQ&sa=X&oi=translate&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCwQ7gEwAA&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dojk%2Bsnowboards%26hl%3Den%26lr%3Dlang_ja%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26hs%3D727%26rls%3Dcom.pclinuxos:en-US:unofficial%26tbs%3Dlr:lang_1ja%26prmd%3Divns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiveBomber Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 interesting, maybe if they had a stubb nose.... but that guy in the vid is unimpressive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, that's too bad with the video, doesn't make the board appealing. I know Japan is putting out far better alpine boards right now than this. I understand that Japanese hard booters are more prevalent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
