This time, it's the gear worn by Naoto Kono, who knows Nozawa Onsen inside out and is affectionately nicknamed "Naossan" by everyone.
Naoto Kono aka Naossan, 34 years old

Because it is a sandwich shape, it is supple and easy to feel the response of the ski. The design is my favorite because it is a collaboration with jazzy sport. Bringing the world together through sports and music! By jazzy sport
