-What kind of image did you use for this collaboration model?
The goggles art released by ELECTRIC this season was originally drawn for someone at the snowboard shop “WAVE RAVE” near Mammoth Mountain in the south of my hometown of California.I had a strong connection with ELECTRIC, and when I tried to draw that art on the wall of ELECTRIC, I said, "How about designing goggles rather than that? I got a story saying, "That's good!let's do it! I was able to realize it.In the end, I was able to draw the best match for the vibes.

-Who would you like to use these goggles?
I would like all snowboarders and ELECTRIC fans who like my art to use it! All ELECTRIC team riders are amazing.I like Pat Moore the best, so it would be great if he could slip on this model!

-What do you think of the ELECTRIC brand?
It is a core brand and has great roots.You are developing products that develop the best products.All of them look cool.And they're like a family to me.
