Replant – What is Masashi Nishina's idea of ​​snowboarding?

Masashi 247 Nishina

Born in Nagano in 1977, he has blossomed art in the bosom of the Japanese Alps, valuing snowboarding, skateboarding, inspiration from nature, and intuition most, and continues to create.

In this era of information overload, he has never had a mobile phone, the Internet, e-mail, etc. in his life, and he has no TV, news, newspapers, etc. He is in a living fossil state and will hold his first solo exhibition in Brazil from 9/19.

He was given Replant as a tool for playing around the mountains, created by the crew of Hakuba and Omachi.
Delivered as a Masashi Nishina talk.

=== Personal talk ===

In a word, this board is a board that you can ride a long feeling with a short snow contact.
This is 165, but the snow contact is about 57, and the ride quality is about 57.
Freestyle board that you can play with 65 and you can slide 65 while playing with 57

It's a counterculture!
I've seen a lot of boards like this lately, maybe 3 years ago ... from about 4 years?

As with the Gigi board, how much powder can be handled with a short board!
Those who are focusing on that are finally coming out
Like us (laughs) It's fast ~

In such a way, why fly, play, play powder with a short handling
It's a free ride!

By the way, we definitely leave this tail,
We only ride on freestyle boards, and we go steeply anyway.
If you don't have a tail, it will fall out and be fatal.

Especially my board, normal tail is not so far, isn't it 2 cm, 3 cm long?
I'm riding here, on a steep slope.

Ride only here,
Do you ride only here?
The tail is long
···is not it···
Look at the board)

Actually, everyone is doing various things because I like this shape,
I think those who are slipping in each place will eventually develop that kind of thing ...

There were many NG talks (bitter smile)
It was Masashi Nishina as usual.
Blocks noise from the Internet, telephones, etc.
We value what comes from real communication and what comes from experience points.
It was a very good time to be able to enjoy their comments.

Instead of thinking about things numerically, we will think from the slippery world and make it into an expression.
Replant, I can't take my eyes off.
