With the La Niña forecast continuing this year, it looks like it will be a season with high expectations for us snowboarders, who will have plenty of snow.It's about time to start preparing in earnest for such a season.So what kind of board comes to your mind when you first choose a board?There are various styles when it comes to skating in one word, and the best board that can be used most effectively will change depending on the situation and conditions of the slopes you often go.Choosing a board is a big deal because it greatly affects the enjoyment of snowboarding.
If you are in a situation where you can own many boards, or if you can narrow down the places and conditions to skate, you can choose the board that fits your purpose perfectly, but it is not easy.After all, it can be adapted to all-around, and freestyle elements such as flying, hitting, and turning are indispensable for the fun of snowboarding.There are probably many people who think that the feeling of playing is important, not just sliding.In addition to that, it is surprisingly common to encounter drastic changes in conditions such as perfect powder, unevenness, snow and ice during the first morning and the afternoon.The YONEX 4XP and 4XP POWTWIN introduced here are the most promising boards that will give you maximum satisfaction when considering these various needs and situations.
Enjoy freestyle fully open, ease of handling is up,
4XP evolved into a more attractive board
YONEX is a brand that produces high-performance boards that make full use of cutting-edge carbon technology, used by riders who are active in the world's top scenes, such as Yuto Totsuka and Sena Tomita.YONEX's technology, which introduces carbon technology into the core material of the board and freely controls the balance of board performance while being lightweight, is now attracting attention worldwide.
Among the lineup, the 4XP is a classic freestyle board that has matured over the years and has helped many snowboarders improve their skills.Adopting an EASY RIDE CAMBER with a twin-tip shape and a flat area near the snow contact part of the nose and tail, it is easy to set an ollie, and it brings out "ease of use" and "stability" in various tricks such as jumps. A softer flex in the center that can be said to be "the best feeling".It has a perfect balance that anyone can ride and feel like it's good, and it has the performance to play on the slopes to their heart's content.
4XP introduced ISOMETRIC TIP (a structure that expands the effective part of the tip part of the board), which has been introduced to other YONEX models one after another this season, from the model two seasons ago.It has a high reputation for being easier to control in the nose and tail, which is important for tricks, than a normal twin-tip board.In this season's update, the number of people who want wide boards has increased recently, and 2W and 157W have been added, further enhancing the appeal of 160XP.

POWTWIN'sAppearance, again4XPThe popularity of is soaring!!
Proposing a new style of "enjoying powder with twin tips"
With the expectation of powder rising this season, you can easily enjoy the edge pau of the slopes without going out to the full-scale backcountry to enjoy the powder, or you can enjoy powder on the uncompacted snow barn in the slopes. I think that there are many people who have a strong desire to enjoy the "easy powder" that is fun. When it comes to "easiness", it makes me want to try not only slashing powder, but also riding the board in the powder.In such a case, the board called 4XP POWTWIN is addicted to Donpisha.As the name suggests, it is based on the shape of 4XP, with a slightly longer nose and wider width to keep the buoyancy required in powder.
With a normal twin tip, you have to ride in a tough posture with the center of gravity behind you in powder, but the ISOMETRIC TIP structure has a positive effect on increasing buoyancy, and with POWTWIN, you can freely ride in a comfortable posture even in powder. You can control the board.
The biggest attraction of POWTWIN is that it has excellent freestyle performance while having the performance to freely slide in powder.To enjoy freestyle on a powder board with an extremely large nose, it is common that more technique is required and the movement itself with the switch becomes difficult.
However, with POWTWIN, the performance of the original 4XP is used as it is, so you can easily perform movements that were difficult until now even in powder.And in the spring season of Park Maine, you can enjoy freestyle by flying and spinning.For example, as I mentioned in the opening sentence, POWTWIN excels in the style of enjoying the powder first thing in the morning and enjoying the park center from noon.

Imagine how you will enjoy this season
Best choice!!
4XP or 4XP POWTWIN, I'm sure there are people who are having a hard time choosing between these two final choices.The final choice will be different depending on whether you want to focus on improving your freestyle skills such as parks, pursuing fun in powder, or focusing on freeriding.Also, at POWTWIN, if freeriding performance is important, we recommend choosing one size up from your usual size.
Each board has its own unique design. 4XP is a dinosaur-themed artwork, and POWTWIN is a slightly more mature board with a cool atmosphere that inherits the YONEX freeride series.
Lastly, I would like to add that while the price of snowboards tends to rise due to the strong yen, the price of ¥75,900 (tax included) is quite reasonable for a board with such performance.
As attention is increasing this season, let's get a popular board early.
