It's the last board I will make in Australia as I move to Japan in 4 days.

Great work as usual.... You finished of with a board perfect for Aus conditions.

Deep pow in Nozawa yet?

Im working in Myoko for the season. Snow has just started really.
We had 18cm then 75 cm then 35cm then a day off. Today we have light snow, maybe 10cm or so.

Heres another one. 170cm, 125 edge, 30 nose, 15 tail, 8m sidecut.
100% bamboo core, a bit of carbon tape in there too, super thin and heaps of pop.
3.5kg and it still has the protective sticker on the base so it will come down a bit after the grind.

Well this ended up being my go to board this season, by far the best board I have ever produced. Im surprised to read the old post above and see that it is full bamboo core, I thought there was paulownia in it also.
Everyone who rode it loved it too which is always a great sign.

A bit of field testing





and a bit of split field testing

looks great as per usual from japan!

Cheers Falls.
I've got a baby due in 10 days and a workshop to set up as soon as the snow melts, I'm frothing to build again.

All the best on both fronts. Might be a while until all the snow melts this year on honshu. Good luck with the new arrival. It's a lot of fun (plus some hard work!).

Well I have myself a successful business going on here in Japan, pics are hard to post these days so if anyone wants to follow along check out my insta account @kijimasnowboards
