Step to the World: Interview with Kazumitsu Anai

A long time ago, when I met him in New Zealand, I happened to meet him again in early February of this year when he was filming the REVOLUTION TOUR at 7 Springs in Pennsylvania.
I heard that he was in XNUMXnd place in the US OPEN QUALIFIERS and won the main race in Vail.And at the REVOLUTION TOUR that was held immediately, he also won the second place.
The interview was triggered by a vague interest in Kazumitsu Anai, who still has a somewhat innocent look on his face, which he couldn't imagine when he wasn't snowboarding.
This time, we would like to send you an interview with Kazumitsu Anai, a young teenage upcomer.

XNUMX) Please tell me how Ikko started snowboarding.When did you decide to participate in the tournament again?

When I was 3 years old, I went skiing with my family and started snowboarding with my family.
There was a JSBA district tournament at the ski resort I attended when I was in the third grade of elementary school, so I tried to participate.
Everyone was good and I wanted to practice in earnest and go to the tournament.

2014) At the XNUMX Burton US OPEN, I won a splendid participation in the tournament over the right to participate in the main race,
What kind of impression did you have when you actually participated in USO?

USO is a very fun tournament with many galleries.
I thought it was necessary to have a really high level and to be able to practice more and compete with the top level people in the USO.

I wish there was a wonderful tournament like USO in Japan as well.
