TJ BRAND ORIGINAL Fresh Maker

Very wide, surfer-shaped powder board that still feels light, with a centre pin in the tail to stop it stalling.

Despite its wide specs, which seem to defy conventional snowboard shapes, its light and nimble movement without feeling heavy or sluggish makes it a truly outstanding shape created by a master shaper. The nose shape visually reduces the sense of pressure from the width, and also makes it easier to handle. The tail shape, which uses the middle pin to suppress the torsional twisting that is unique to double pin shapes, can sometimes cause the tail to sink too deep and stall, providing stability and preventing stalling, is an idea that could only come from a surfboard shaper.

Shaped by Yoshikawa "Tappy" Takuya As a surfboard builder, he has worked as the main shaper for various surfboard brands, and was the first Japanese to be invited as a guest shaper for Deus Ex Machina, earning him the respect of surfers around the world. He has also been selected as the graphic designer for BURTON's FAMILYTREE series, and is a true snowsurfer who is beginning to exert his influence in the snowboarding world.
