I dislocated my knee a month ago snowboarding, and so I've been channelling all my frustration and energy into building this big site about Japanese snowboards. The world of Japanese snowboards is very fragmented and not so well documented, but also huge and fascinating.

I'm learning a lot about the boards, but also the culture and people. So here it is: a living archive of Japanese snowboards, those boards designed for riding that Japanese snow. snowline.jp/en/gear/snow...

This was so fun to learn about Japanese snowboarding, and the boards are beautiful! Thanks for creating. And hope you heal up soon! 🏂

This is rad, thanks!! I’ve been watching my friend’s Instagram stories as she’s been skiing in Japan for the past few weeks, simultaneously envying her and knowing I would have to entirely relearn how to snowboard in that much pow. It’s so beyond anything I’ve experienced! I would just sink 😅

Thank you!! Yes you should try to come try it. Though the snow seasons are getting shorter and shorter. Riding japanese powder is so different from what I was used. But you have to try it to be able to do it. Maybe you'll get it straight away.

get well soon!

Thank you! It's getting there ... maybe a few more weeks and will be back to normal.
