OJK has been making waves by developing its own unique resin plates, taking advantage of the resin molding technology it has cultivated over the 50 years since its founding and the facilities of its own factory.

Developed based on practical feedback from professional demonstrators, the CARVING PLATE continues to receive high praise from discerning snowboarders who pursue the profound joy of turning, including those taking part in technical competitions, and the lineup has been greatly expanded to accommodate an even greater variety of styles.

Plates have been considered a very effective part for enabling sharp turns in technical and alpine terrain, but most are made of metal, which puts a lot of strain on the weight of the feet, and are expensive, so they have not been widely adopted.

The plastic OJK plate that was introduced at that time quickly attracted attention because it significantly improved the quality of turns while being lightweight and reasonably priced.
Thanks to the technology we have cultivated in the resin industry, we can skillfully select materials and carefully process thickness, angle, shape, and other aspects to create the optimal results that snowboarders desire.

As a brand that brings together the efforts of people who are passionate about snowboarding, it is able to produce products that accurately meet the needs of each customer.

The MA-01, which was released this season with the concept of "MOTION ASSIST," is a plate made of soft polyethylene material that allows you to control the flex of your freestyle board with less effort.
This thin plate is said to create an "amazing effect."

First of all, it is only 5mm thick, so it is light and can be used without worrying about its weight.
It uses a circular rib structure, giving it flexibility in both vertical and horizontal directions.
Both sides of the plate are R-shaped, and the height of the rib structure gradually decreases towards the outside. By attaching this between the bindings, the contact area with the board is reduced, strengthening the edge-on movement and making it easier to naturally apply edging force.

In other words, the plate assists you in putting the edge in and standing the board up when carving.
It guides you into sharp turns that would normally go awry without you having to think about difficult controls.

As the name suggests, this part is designed to assist with board control.
Even if you are just starting to practice carving, simply placing this plate under your feet will smoothly guide you into the ideal movement.

Those who want to further improve their carving skills will surely be able to experience a completely new sensation of turning.
You can also expect it to have an effect on board control when powder boarding or freestyle.

MOTION ASSIST can bring about major changes to your riding. We encourage you to give it a try this winter.

It has a circular rib structure with rounded corners on both sides. The width of the inner part is 226mm, the outer part is 230mm, and the front and rear of the plate is 204mm.
The height of the thickest circular rib in the center is 5mm, and the outer rib is thinner as you can see. In other words, in the normal state, the contact area between the board and the binding is intentionally small.
Set the binding with the OJK logo facing inward. Longer screws are included to accommodate the thickness of the plate.
When the plate is installed, a small gap is created between the board and the plate, as shown in the top picture. When the plate is installed, the gap disappears as shown in the bottom picture, which assists the load and makes it easier to apply force to the board.
Available in two colors, black and white. You can choose the color that matches your board color.
