Located in Obuse Town, Nagano Prefecture, "Obuse Quest" is a popular training spot chosen by professional riders and Olympic hopefuls, featuring three kickers of varying sizes—Big (approx. 13-15m), Medium (approx. 8-12m), and Small (approx. 2-5m)—as well as a jib and freeride area
Supporting efficient and high-quality practice is an innovative monitoring system that automatically plays back footage from approximately 30-40 seconds prior, allowing users to check their speed, form, and other aspects with each jump
They also offer a professional snowboarder training program that utilizes the "QUEST ACADEMY coaching method," which guarantees improvement for athletes of all skill levels, as well as private ski lessons
There are small kickers and jib lanes for beginners, so even those unfamiliar with mat jumping or beginners can feel at ease. Rental gear is also readily available, so you can easily give it a try even if you don't have your own specialized equipment
The rest area is equipped with an ice cream vending machine, three waxing stations with various tools, coin lockers, and free Wi-Fi. It provides a comfortable environment for practicing all day long, even in the hot summer
They offer student discounts, such as reducing the usual 3,800 yen per session to 3,100 yen with a student ID, and long-term rentals of boards (without bindings) for 5,000 yen per month. These services make it easy to start with surfing as a summer activity and then continue afterward
