TJ BRAND ORIGINAL Steep Fly

Claude Maki's mid-length signature with an inverted surfboard outline and long nose and tail for high speed.

Kuroudo Maki, who showcases diverse talents as an actor, rapper, surfer, and snowboarder. He is truly a genius when it comes to riding boards sideways, demonstrating exceptional riding skills. For a long time, he has been active as part of the T.J CREW. And now, Claude Maki has finally unveiled his completely original shape, "STEEP FLY."

Despite being a mid-length, it considers control even in challenging terrain, with both the effective edge and contact length set to be shorter. It features a long nose that can withstand high-speed attacks and a longer tail designed for enjoying speed to its limits. The 168cm mid-length board is an indispensable size for him, who constantly seeks speed. The side cut near the nose has a smaller radius (R) to facilitate turns and ensure maneuverability. The extended tail provides a tenacious drive while minimizing speed loss, and a larger R is adopted for continuous big turns. The main R, inspired by surfboards, is incorporated into STEEP FLY as a reverse R, making manual control for each section exceptionally enjoyable. It would not be an exaggeration to say that this shape design could only have been created by Claude Maki.

Furthermore, BREDREN DESIGN has also announced "POWDER WATER," a surfboard that incorporates the outline of STEEP FLY.
