Powder board - Japan

Hi all,

Looking at picking up a new board for Japan. Will go multiple times over the next few seasons.

Currently looking at the Bataleon Camel Toe or Nitro Slash. Both are reasonably priced at my local store.

Im about 177cm tall and 73kg. Suggestions for size?

Depending on conditions, may need to ride some groomers as well.

Other board ill be taking with me is a NS Proto Type Two in a 154.

Cheers

 

I am living in Niseko currently and ride a DWD POW Reaper and it’s been completely solid for the conditions whether I am hitting open POW or trees. Other boards I have tried here that are solid picks are the YES 420 and the Salomon Derby.

Welcome to Boardworld, @hbb28.

Take a look at the YES. 420 or YES. 420 Powder Hull. Both epic pow boards for Japan.

Also worth looking at the Jones Storm Chaser.
