A shop clerk who sees various products of various brands every year.Of course, because you are familiar with snowboard gear, you can understand what brand suits you best.This time, we talked to Mr. Isobe, Alpen Miel Kawaguchi Store / Snowboard Advisor.I asked him, who also participated in the Grand Trick tournament, to tell me about the board "ARCHITECT" that he is actually using.

— What kind of riding do you like?

Isobe: I used to skate around the ground tricks, but nowadays I enjoy the whole slope as much as possible, such as powder and terrain when it snows, and carving in the beautifully compressed morning burn.The riding style that allows any course or park to flow naturally is really cool and I admire it.

-Why did you choose "ARCHITECT" this season?

Isobe: Of all the snowboards, I actually tried it out and thought that it would maximize my slippage.Most of the people who mainly do grand tricks are domestic boards, so it's nice that the board does not cover.It's cool to slip like a person, but I like the fact that I can achieve my own slip.When I was gliding, people around me asked me, "Which board are you using? It's a proof that you're captivated by this board (laughs)

-What do you think suits your slip?

Isobe: Overwhelming tenacity and repulsion, softness of center flex.Toughness is an absolutely indispensable factor because my slip is centered on taps.The V basalt stringer compounded on both ends is a secret weapon that makes it possible. The DCT shape (the center part is thin) makes the center soft, improving advance operation, recovery, edge performance, and operability.Grand tricks use torsion more often than I imagined, so I'm really benefiting from this shape.

-What kind of person do you want to recommend?

Isobe: It is a board for freestyle, but it is a directional twin with a setback of 1 cm, so it is recommended for greedy people who want to do anything with this board for gratri, park and free run.
