Yo Amagai, Hassy and the rest of the K2 Snowboarding Japan team put together this “best of…” edit showcasing their favourite boards from the 2019 line. Japan Grabs contributor, Masato Morikawa starts this nine minutes of stoke, shredding some deep gullies on the Simple Pleasures. One standout was seeing Hakuba local, Keita Yamazaki railing backcountry lines on the Cool Bean, a short fat pow board not normally associated with attacking backcountry lines at eye-watering speeds. Definitely a good watch to start the season… and no need to look up what board they are using!
Full rider list: Masato Morikawa, Yo Amagai, Akiko Mori, Keita Yamazaki, Shimpei Asaga, Takaoki ‘Hassy’ Hashimoto, Daisuke Watanabe, Ryuji Takai, Atsushi Yamaki, Masaki Mitsuhisa, Natsuki Sato, Sachi Tanaka, Yu Takeo.
