TJ BRAND ORIGINAL 2496
Flat-camber speedster shape by Yosuke Nishida, created with Kurando Maki as a Bredren Design collaboration.
Legendary snowboarder Yosuke Nishida has created numerous movements, including the Tenjin Banked Slaloom. He has hand-shaped numerous outlines, and is proud to add the 2496 to his lineup. This board, created together with Kurando Maki, is also a collaboration model with Bredren Design. The otherworldly ride that he showed off at the recent Tenjin Banked Slaloom is truly worthy of being called a speedster.
Yosuke Nishida:
In 1996, he launched 12 Snowboards at a snowboard factory in Seattle, USA, and began his career as a snowboard shaper. Later, as a director at TJ BRAND, he came up with the famous model "NAPOLEON FISH." He is currently a founding member of SUNRISE SHRED SERVICE, which produces plywood blanks and hand-shaped boards, and he also carves and hand-shaped boards himself.
Revived in 2026 after nearly a 10 year hiatus for the 30th anniversary of TJ Brand.
