A new product, "SNOWTURF," has arrived for the "brushes" that are essential for off-season training facilities.
Compared to conventional brushes, SNOWTURF offers a gliding feel closer to that of snow and allows for better control through superior edging. Furthermore, it combines the customizability of a detachable brush structure.
The product was developed through a collaboration between Gyro Technology, the company behind "STANCER," a device that measures recommended stance width and angle for snowboarders, and professional snowboarder Keiji Okamoto.
After more than two years of testing and refinement, it was completed as a practical product.
It has also received high praise from riders who have tried it out at the Murakami Snow Research & Training Center, where it was introduced as an advance test
- Comments from Ayumu Hirano and Kaishuku
: "Of all the brushes (artificial turf) we've skated on so far, this is the closest to real snow."
- Comment from Yuto Yamada
: "It feels completely different from the previous brushes. It's neither too soft nor too hard, and when I apply pressure, the power doesn't escape, and even if I apply too much pressure, it doesn't catch, so I can glide smoothly. It feels very close to snow, and I'm in good condition."
