Living in a dream

Mr. Tsukada's work seems to be fun, isn't it?
It ’s wonderful to be able to work as a hobby.
You are enjoying your life, aren't you?

Is often said by people.

It is often said from the outside, but the contents are not so satisfying as people say.

Spicy!

I think there are more things to think about.But after all, I feel that it was good to have my hobby as a job.

That's because I spend a lot of time in my dreams.

Certainly, generally speaking, I know that there are many people who dislike making a hobby work because they dislike it.
I want to separate my important hobbies from my work.
Even if my hobby is work, it is not profitable and I cannot eat.
My hobbies are more pure and I want to enjoy it, not where money is related ... etc.

I know there are many different opinions, and even if I look back on myself,
I used to work on snowboarding and I hated it for a while.
If I make money as one of the ways to live, I want to make another thing and have a hobby.
This opinion is justified, and if I had the opportunity to ski on the snow, such as snowboarding or skiing.
If I didn't meet, I wouldn't have made my hobby work.

Until I was 10 years old, I used to skateboard in the summer and speed skate in the winter.
In his early twenties, he started snowboarding as a ski teacher in Vail, Colorado.I haven't returned to Japan now
After improving the snowboarding environment at ARAI Resort, he launched JAPAHO at the age of 28.
The context that has been flowing at the bottom is to work while staying on the snow.
I think this is probably based on what I felt in Vail, USA.
He was a snowboarding instructor at Beaver Creek at the time, Kurt.
At the end of the season, I go to Hawaii to coach tennis and come back to Colorado in the winter.
It is said that he has been living for many years.

I like snowboarding and I wanted to make it a job. In 1996, I was the first snowboarder in Japan called SBN.
It's been 18 years since we created the WEB community.
While changing, from me, Oba Shigeaki Yoshida Yuki Now Tomita Kazu is the director and SBN is changing and evolving.

I think the facts that are still going on are proof that you can do what you love.

However, I often said that I was doing what I liked, but I didn't like it.

There were times when the number of people increased and he also served as an officer as a shareholder of another IT company.
When Japan had more than 20 employees, there were times when I didn't even know what I was doing.
I also exhibited fashion-related shops in Kyoto (laughs).

To be honest, there were many times when I wanted to quit being the president of the company.

But I've learned recently.

There is oneself who has been looking at all the difficult things.

I wonder why I didn't notice until now.

I didn't know if it was because I was in that whirlpool ...

It's because I was supported by so many people and I got a lot of the highest challenges of harsh reality.
It may have come to fruition in this way now.

Now I'm living in a dream that I can understand properly.

Thank you for everything I really met in 2013.

While working as a ski teacher at a luxury resort in Vail, Colorado, he got hooked on snowboarding and returned home.Zhang himself who brought board culture to a Japanese resort for the first time.He is also the representative of Studio Japan Co., Ltd., which operates Japan's largest snowboard information site "SBN", "Snow Bancho", "OUTLAND", "UNTRACKED", etc.
