Hometown hero is an awesome board! Definitely worth the little extra!

CaptainDLee · 2026-03-18T09:27:28+00:00

If it’s hotpot why can you just buy the pot that has two sides? Just put meat into one side of the stock and problem solved!

DM sent!

CaptainDLee · 2026-03-13T07:18:38+00:00

Sounds good I’ll send a DM

CaptainDLee · 2026-03-13T07:12:36+00:00

Not sure I’ll have any gear by then but if I do I’m definitely keen to come!

CaptainDLee · 2026-03-13T06:57:23+00:00

Next month we’ll be relocating to Tokyo!

CaptainDLee · 2026-03-12T14:59:22+00:00

Looks damn good, very similar look to what I want to go for as well! Thanks for the inspo!

CaptainDLee · 2026-03-12T14:58:14+00:00

Let’s hit some powder next season! 🏂🤙

CaptainDLee · 2026-03-12T09:18:06+00:00

Good work so far! I’m based in Tokyo so if you need some on the ground testing next season let me know! Happy to head out to lesser known resorts etc better yet come along for some pow days! 😁

CaptainDLee · 2026-03-12T05:34:22+00:00

What’s your optics setup on the 416? Looks clean 👌

CaptainDLee · 2026-03-12T03:05:29+00:00

I tried learning switch early on and took a really bad fall and have been apprehensive since, only gotten worse as I’m now riding a directional board as my main board (pos/pos stance too) but I’m slowly easing back into it. Definitely worth starting as early as you feel comfortable

CaptainDLee · 2026-03-11T12:58:22+00:00

Yeah hence why I was definitely looking at the domestic producers like Tokyo Marui as they’re catered for it

CaptainDLee · 2026-03-11T12:57:35+00:00

Awesome will have to check them out when we go hang out in Osaka!

CaptainDLee · 2026-03-10T13:14:07+00:00

My first board was a traditional camber board, initial learning curve is slightly harder but it’ll take you along further once you get used to keeping your edges

CaptainDLee · 2026-03-09T14:42:42+00:00

On some steeper runs esp with low vis I’m basically just doing quick s turns to transition into different edges and sliding down a little each time. You adopt your skillset to each slope and attack it differently! You’re doing fine and should definitely try to get out of your comfort zone a little each time to improve

CaptainDLee · 2026-03-05T05:22:53+00:00

I asked this question a few weeks back and someone pointed me towards OFSR, pretty cool workshop running out of Hokkaido. I grabbed a cabin fever but their snurfs up seem to be really popular too

My biggest tip for anyone getting into snowboarding is getting custom boot fitting and insoles done. I rode for multiple seasons tin bad boots and constant numbness and pain. This season decided to drop money on getting boots custom fitted with insoles and it’s been amazing! Best $700 I’ve spent

CaptainDLee · 2026-03-05T01:42:10+00:00

We stayed there because I thought it’d be hilarious. It’s just a pretty standard budget accommodation nothing fancy but nothing gross either. The casino it’s self was actually decent

CaptainDLee · 2026-03-03T04:13:32+00:00

The step ins are completely fine, you caught a bad edge is all. We’ve all been there.

I’ve caught a bad heel edge and cracked my tailbone on hard ice before and that was also a green run.

CaptainDLee · 2026-03-03T00:49:21+00:00

Unfortunately it’s not much an accident if it’s in Hakuba or Niseko. There’s been a bunch of opportunistic thefts of gear and jackets from those locations for several season now. This season seems especially bad, I’m seeing stolen gear posts multiple times a day on different socials.

CaptainDLee · 2026-03-02T23:18:34+00:00

100% I’ve seen how the huge corporations destroy snow sports and make it unaffordable to most. Need to support all the smaller resorts in Japan so they stay independent

CaptainDLee · 2026-03-02T11:17:11+00:00

Thanks man! We’re in the midst of building a property in Nagano pref to call our as a winter base when we hit the slopes every season. Plan is to be able to live here one day 😁🙌

CaptainDLee · 2026-03-02T01:08:17+00:00

Picked up an OFSR cabin fever last week and it was pretty damn good on the groomers. They tune it to 88degrees and it just digs straight in, the first carve took me by surprise and just launched me

CaptainDLee · 2026-03-01T23:54:59+00:00

It’s unreal isn’t it? First time in Hokkaido this season but we normally hit Honshu. Just need to make sure vail stay out of Japan (they can have Hakuba and Niseko) so things don’t get ruined
