This time, we'll be looking at the gear used by Masahiro Murayama, who mainly rides at Ishiuchi Maruyama.

I often use this board when I'm in the park or grooming. It's a relatively soft board, so I think it's a versatile board that can be used in both the park and grooming.

I often use it when reviewing powder!
This board is also relatively soft, so I think it is a board that is easy to play! The ULTRALITE is lighter than a normal JJ, so it's easier to climb in the backcountry!

●Review:
The BDOG EDGELESS ZERO has no edges, so it can easily rub against stainless steel rails, so I often use it on the street. I
also tried riding it on the slopes, and the ride feels different from regular boards, so I think it would be fun to try it out in the park in the spring.
