Separate snowboarding, which is in its 7th season since its release.Currently, three types of models with different shapes have been developed, and each user chooses a model that suits their style and enjoys the unique sliding of this board.Here, I would like to pay attention to the best-selling standard model (gourd shape) "FLY-P" that has been used by many users since its debut in 3.Where is the secret of long-standing popularity?

"FLY-P" is the lightest of the three types and has the longest contact length with the snow surface.Therefore, it is a model that even beginners can easily enjoy smooth carving.Most users start with a separate snowboard from this model and find out how fun it is.And those who want more aggressive and "next" will switch to a high stage model that has a heavy board and gives a sense of stability when landing.

"Draw one arc with two pieces to create one side curve" A standard model that is closest to the shape of a snowboard when two boards are lined up.This unique gourd shape firmly captures the snow surface on the side where the load is transferred by carving, and creates a smooth side curve as if sliding on one board.

However, there are many intermediate and advanced models who will return to the standard model again.This is because when the level of balance rises and stable riding is possible at all times, it is often the case that wearing a lighter and easier-to-move standard model allows you to move radically.

"FLY-P" which treats two boards as one and treats the deck.Innovative design that expresses the features of separate snowboards as they are

The standard model, which was originally designed to fit the Japanese body shape, has the weakness that it is not suitable for people with narrow waists and large legs.So not everyone is fit for the standard.However, if you can slide well, the interference rate between the left and right boards will decrease, and you will be able to slide more smoothly and with a higher degree of synchronization.Only this model, which was developed with an emphasis on carving, has a "no center guard" type in order to take full advantage of it.

In other words, "FLY-P" is not just an entry model.If a person who matches the style wears it, it can become an intermediate / advanced model and improve the riding level.It's a model that you can spend a long time with.The depths of the separate snowboard are still deep.If you compare the three models with this in mind, you may discover something new.
