Ride one first.

Rent a demo direct from the Kōjō.
Ride it, then decide what belongs
under your feet.
Introduction
Rent a demo direct from our Niseko Kōjō. Take it to the mountain, then decide what belongs under your feet.
There is only so much a specs chart can tell you.
Sidecut, taper, flex, camber and length all matter. But eventually, you have to ride the thing.
That is why we keep a selection of Offshore demo boards at the Kōjō in Moiwa.
With the lifts at Moiwa Resort within walking distance, you can pick up a board and take it straight to the mountain. Or head to your favourite resort in the area. Take it into the backcountry. Find powder. Ride trees. Put it on edge.
Test it where it was made to be ridden.
01 / Find your shape
Find your shape.
Every Offshore rides differently.
Some want open powder and long turns. Some come alive in tight trees. Some are made to carve hard. Others want to slash, float, play or do a little of everything.
Trying one gives you something a specs chart cannot.
A feeling for the shape.
How quickly it turns. How the flex feels beneath your feet. Where it wants to be ridden. Whether it suits the way you move through the mountain.
Sometimes the board you came to try is the right one.
Sometimes another shape surprises you.
That is the point.
02 / Try another
Try another.
One of the advantages of renting directly from the Kōjō is being able to experience more than one Offshore.
Try the shape you have been looking at.
Come back and try something completely different.
Go shorter. Longer. Wider. More directional. More playful.
A few runs can tell you more than hours spent comparing numbers on a screen.
Find the one that feels right.
03 / Then make yours
Then make yours.
Found the one?
Bring the demo back and order your Offshore.
If you purchase a new board after your demo, we credit the demo charge towards the price of your board.
Choose your shape. Choose your series. Make it yours.
The demo goes back onto the rack.
Yours goes into the build schedule.
