[Rider Interview] Revolutionizing snowboarders' feet. A look at boots equipped with a new Liquid Fit System!

Head Snowboard's innovative boot systemLIQUID FIT SYSTEMThe secret to this system, which is different from conventional boots, is the special liquid injected inside the boots. It fits perfectly to the shape of your foot, enveloping you, giving you a sensation you've never experienced before. LIQUID FIT SYSTEMWhat exactly is this system? In order to fully convey its appeal, we interviewed team riders Jun Taniguchi and Yuri Yoshiie, who actually use this system.

Q23: Thank you for your hard work in the 24-XNUMX season. Do you have any plans for the future? Taniguchi:Thank you for your hard work. From now on, I will be working on a summer job that has nothing to do with snowboarding, but around autumn (October), I will be holding a class in Hyogo Prefecture to think about snowboarding at a desk. Yuri:Thank you for your hard work! During the off-season, I will be coaching at the Murasaki Sports Kids Camp and working as a staff member for the athlete development program, holding lessons and events at my home park, "Yoshika Park"! During the season, in addition to my off-season activities, I will also be judging SAJ and FIS events! Q2: I'd like to talk to you about the LIQUID FIT SYSTEM, but what kind of boots are you wearing? Taniguchi:I'm basically using EIGHT BOA, but from the second half of this season I'm usingTEAM BOAIs used. Yuri:I use EIGHT BOA! Q3: What is it like actually using LIQUID FIT? Taniguchi:Basically, head boots fit well without using liquid, but when you add LIQUID FIT, they fit tighter and feel more responsive. The fit around the heel is especially good, preventing the heel from lifting. Yuri:From the first time I put the liquid in, it fitted my feet perfectly without any discomfort. I was impressed with how it fit and how the liquid moved with my feet when I moved! I also like how I can adjust the amount I put in on each side, so there's no discomfort between the left and right!
Q4: When is the best time to add liquid? Taniguchi:After about 10 to 20 days of use, the shoes will become more comfortable and looser. If you put them back in at that time, the fit will return. If you have thin feet or thin ankles and feel like your heels are floating, it's a good idea to put them in from the beginning. Yuri:I like to let it slide a little and then pour in the liquid! I recommend doing it that way, as it fits even better! Q5: Where do you get your liquid? Taniguchi:In fact, at the West Snowboard School where I work, we can put liquid in your skis. Our staff are knowledgeable about snowboarding and have good dexterity, so if you ask West, we can put liquid in your skis at the school, so please come and visit us! We need to prepare some materials, so it would be helpful if you contacted us in advance. West Snowboard School Hachikita Branch: TEL 090-5125-4737 / Email west.snowboardschool@gmail.com Yuri:I got it done at Murasaki Sports! There are only a limited number of Murasaki Sports stores that offer it, so it's a good idea to check in advance and contact them! Q6: Is there anything I tell the store clerk when filling the liquid? Taniguchi:I have very thin ankles, so I feel like the heel support is weak. So when you inject it, you have to put in quite a bit, so be prepared to put in a lot. lol Yuri:My feet are wide, and I wear boots that are designed to fit them, so the length is a little larger than my foot size. So my heels tend to slip off and I'm a little concerned about the fit, so I tell them I want to have them put in to compensate for that. Also, there's a difference between the left and right, so I ask them to make the adjustments in detail at the end! Q: I see! So it's best to tell them about any parts you're concerned about at the beginning! Mr. Taniguchi, you said that even though you are a user, you can also fill the liquid in, and I think it is especially reassuring for first-time users to have someone who actually uses the product fill it in for them! If I want to have the liquid filled in for me, who should I contact? Taniguchi:Please contact West Snowboard School by email or phone. We can adjust the liquid when you come to Hachikita Ski Resort and you can start skiing right away! I think it will be very convenient for people who ski in the Kansai area!
Q: Lastly, please give a word of advice to users who want to try liquid but are unsure. Taniguchi:The volume of the liquid can be increased or decreased, so it can be adjusted at any time. So, don't worry, we recommend you try this system once. If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact us! Yuri: The fit when you put this liquid in is amazing! If you feel like the fit around your ankles is not quite right, please give it a try! It will support your riding!

From the words of professional riders, we hope you can feel the overwhelming fit and performance improvement potential of the Liquid Fit system. This innovative system that overturns the conventional concept of boots can be said to be a revolution for snowboarders' feet. Try the Liquid Fit system and experience a completely different dimension of snowboarding!
