NOVEMBER snowmaterial– Latest Models & Catalog | Brand Introduction –

Brand roots

NOVEMBERsnowmaterial was launched in 2002. Behind it lies the existence of Ogaska Factory, a prestigious Japanese company with a history of over 100 years. From a factory that had established a solid position in the production of traditional skis and directional boards, NOVEMBER was born out of a passion to "create true freestyle snowboards."

Their manufacturing philosophy is to "maximize the performance of the board for each rider's riding style." The vast amount of data from the Ogaska factory, which has a history of over 100 years, the selection of high-quality materials unique to purely domestic (made in Japan) products, and the feedback from top riders in the harsh conditions of the snowy mountains support their overwhelming quality

This factory-made history is directly linked to the "feel" of the boards today. For example, even twin-tip boards designed for freestyle have exceptionally good edge release and sharp carving. Even powder boards don't lose their ollie rebound. And no matter which model you ride, the "base glides" through Japan's wet snow and spring slush

The diverse group of riders, including Keijiro Kasahara (Doggy) and Taishi Kaneko (neco), can enjoy themselves to the fullest, from the park to the street and even the backcountry, because they have this "absolute trust" under their feet. NOVEMBER is a collection of masterpieces born from the intersection of sophisticated Japanese technology and the free spirit inherent in snowboarding

Topics from the brands featured on the 26th and 27th

For November 26-27, they've extended their long-cultivated freestyle mindset to every type of mountain terrain. Rather than resorting to a single "all-purpose board," they offer an optimal solution for every rider's specific style. From this lineup, we've picked out two particularly noteworthy topics

The unconventional new model "UNDERCARVER" connects waves and mountains

"Powder boards are boring on groomed snow." The "UNDERCARVER," a completely new model making its debut in 2026-2027, brilliantly shatters this common snowboarder's stereotype

The concept is a "fusion of surf style and mountain style." The most noteworthy feature is the adoption of the unique new shape "MTW CAMBER," which combines a longer rocker nose with a double camber underfoot. This brilliantly balances two seemingly contradictory performance characteristics: "overwhelming buoyancy in powder" and "powerful edge grip on groomed slopes."

When you dive into deep powder, the large nose generates buoyancy, promising a surf-like ride that feels like riding a wave. However, the true essence of the UNDERCARVER lies in returning to groomed slopes. The moment you step onto the hard snow surface, the double camber underfoot grips the snow firmly, and the strong edging performance unique to cambers ensures a secure grip on the snow surface, allowing you to execute carving turns with a sharpness you wouldn't expect from such a wide board

While positioned as a "freeride-oriented" board within the NOVEMBER lineup, it's not just a powder board that floats. From untouched slopes in the early morning to rough runs in the afternoon, and even slashes using the terrain, it's the perfect companion for snowboarders who want to treat the entire mountain as one wave and play to their heart's content

The "ICECAT," which becomes more fun the more you ride it, has undergone a complete model change!

With its playful spirit and reliable riding performance, the "ICECAT," which has gained widespread support by emphasizing the riding feel that cannot be expressed in spec numbers and by concentrating the pure joy of controlling a snowboard, will undergo a long-awaited full model change for 26-27

This full model change retains the "short and wide" body balance that is synonymous with ICECAT, while further refining its freeriding performance. The biggest highlight is the newly adopted "LONG CONTACT EDGE" in the tail. This new structure, in which the effective edge near the point of contact with the snow at the tail extends as the angle is turned, greatly enhances grip in the latter half of the turn, dramatically improving stability and sharpness during carving

Furthermore, by widening the nose area, it gains the ability to quickly lift off the ground even at low speeds. This expands its versatility in handling different snow conditions and slopes during powder riding, making control easier. In addition, the long-slit swallowtail twists flexibly during turns, following the snow surface and creating incredibly smooth turns that are unexpected from a short-length board

This board, packed with the "joy of riding" that NOVEMBER pursues, is full of charm that cannot be described by spec numbers alone, and the more you ride it, the more fun it becomes. The lightness provided by the ultra-lightweight "FM2 CORE" makes it powerful in powder spins, terrain play, and park riding, making it the best board for playing around the entire mountain in your own style. From this season, a long size 159 has been added to the lineup, so that an even wider range of riders can enjoy its "riding feel"

"C-KENTIAL" - Bringing the dreams of freestylers to life

 This all-mountain model leverages the design concepts unique to a freestyle brand

Its most distinctive feature is that it combines the high buoyancy of a powder board with the nimble outline of a freestyle model. The square nose and tail shape provides exceptional stability for ollies and landings in deep powder, while simultaneously generating solid buoyancy at low to medium speeds

The light and agile gliding feel is due to the swing weight provided by the ultra-lightweight "FM2 CORE" used in the core. It also boasts high spin performance in powder, enabling intuitive board control. Furthermore, the not-too-stiff mid-flex suspension allows for smooth carving turns regardless of snow conditions

What's particularly noteworthy is the unique technology that combines a super-tapered shape with a small arc side curve on the tail. This results in a high-level fusion of seemingly contradictory performance characteristics: ease of movement in powder and strong edge grip on hard-packed surfaces. The wider board width reduces the risk of drag, allowing you to confidently carve deep turns on any slope

Cutting through the first powder of the morning, then seamlessly transitioning to airs and carving using the terrain – the "C-KENTIAL" will be the perfect companion to help you turn the entire mountain into a freestyle playground, responding to your instincts
