YAMAZAKI

Finer than a 20 year old single malt.

Yamazaki

Every Offshore is pressed, finished and tuned by hand in our factory in Niseko, Japan.

Finer than a 20 year old single malt.

The Yamazaki is a performance tree board from the mind and hands of Offshore's master board builder, Tomohito Yamazaki. A blunt-nose pintail that lifts, projects, and turns on a dime, with enough tail left for solid drops and pops. A true work of creativity, vision, and feeling.

Crafted by us, customised by you.

Your name. Your design. Pressed into a hand-crafted board that didn't exist before you ordered it.

The iD is made the same way every Offshore board is made. The highest quality materials, hand-crafted in Moiwa by people who chose quality and joy over everything else. By the time it leaves, it has a wooden core, carbon, resin, fibreglass, and you, pressed into the kind of board people ask about at the bottom of the lift.

That's the iD. Made once, for you.

The Yamazaki comes from the mind and hands of Tomohito Yamazaki, Offshore's master board builder. He prototyped it the old way, shaping plywood hemispherical templates by hand until the blunt-nose pintail was exactly right. The nose lifts and projects, the shape turns on a dime, and there is enough tail left for solid drops and clean pops. Built for deep snow and tight trees. A true work of creativity, vision, and feeling, made by the man whose name it carries.

OFSR / Board Profile Shape: Yamazaki

What’s Inside

Overview 1 / 6

The Intention

The Yamazaki is the most personal board Offshore makes. Yama shaped it for himself first, a performance tree board refined over years of feeling rather than spec sheets. Blunt nose, pintail, drawn to lift, project, and turn on a dime in the deep. It is not built to do everything. It is built to do one thing with soul, and to carry the name of the man who made it.

How It Rides

In deep snow the Yamazaki lifts early and stays high, the blunt nose projecting you forward while the pintail sinks and floats. It turns on a dime, so tight trees and quick line changes feel natural. The medium flex keeps it lively and forgiving underfoot, never harsh. There is enough tail left to stomp drops and pop off features. On firm snow it will hold an edge and get you home, but its heart is in the trees and the deep. A board that rides on feel.

The Rider

For the rider who lives in the trees and the deep. Someone who values feel over numbers and wants a board with real soul. Confident on their feet, patient, and happy to let the shape lead. Intermediate through expert. Directional, and one of a kind.

The Terrain

Deep snow and tight trees. Natural drops and pillow lines. Quick, playful turns through anything soft. The Yamazaki is happiest weaving through the trees on the deepest days of the season.

Camber: Pow Camber

Camber under the feet, early rise nose, a touch of rocker in the tail. The contact point sits closer to the back foot, so the nose has room to rise and the tail can release. Camber between the feet is non-negotiable on Offshore boards, it’s the engine of the turn. The rockered nose and tail add surf and lift, effortless float on the deepest days. Pow Camber is made for powder and surfy terrain.

Shape: Blunt Nose Pintail

The Yamazaki is a directional pintail, drawn around float and quickness. The blunt nose lifts early and projects through deep snow, while 20mm of taper and 20mm of setback over the effective edge sink the tail and free the front. Pow Camber holds drive between the feet, so it turns on a dime yet keeps enough tail for solid drops and pops. A medium flex keeps it lively and forgiving. Ride it 2 to 3cm shorter than your normal board and let the shape do the floating.

Same shape, three layups. The flex does not change what the shape was intended for. Only how hard you have to ask. It is the mood. The feel. There is no right or wrong. Just a preference we like to offer, made possible by building every board to order.

Soft · 4

Playful & forgiving

Easy to bend, easy to forgive. Presses and butters come cheap. It soaks up chatter and is more forgiving when a landing goes wrong. Good in tight trees, on slow days, and if you prefer a softer feel.

Regular · 6

Happy medium

The one most people ride. It holds an edge when you lean on it and lets go when you want to play. Stable enough for speed, loose enough for fun. If you are not sure which to pick, this is the answer. It is how we intended our boards to feel, and how we ride them.

Stiff · 8

Hard charging

Built for those who prefer a firmer flex. It holds a line through chop and stays calm as the speed climbs. It carves hard and rewards a strong back leg. You get back exactly what you put in. Not designed to be easy to ride. Designed to be ridden.

Tech · 01 / 03

SuppleREZ

A specially formulated Japanese resin with unique mechanical properties that promote a more supple flex, without an increase in flex fatigue. Poppy but smooth. The perfect blend.

A legit hand made snowboard shop in the heart of Hokkaido. The boards are impeccibly fabricated and the staff is super nice. Anyone can ride but these guys let you ride a work of art.

Sara Nilsson

Sweden Yamazaki 147 Verified rider

★★★★★

Rode this in the Niseko trees and wow. Lifts up so early you barely think about the nose, just point it and go. Turns super quick which is exactly what you want when the trees are tight. Light and playful too, popped off a few little drops no worries. Special board.

Tom Reilly

Australia Yamazaki 150 Verified rider

★★★★★

Sized down a fair bit which felt weird to do but it just floats. So nimble in the tight stuff. You can feel someone actually shaped this by hand, it rides on feel not numbers. Yama's a legend. Grabbing another next season.

OFSR / FAQs Board: Yamazaki

Good to Know

The questions we get most, answered straight.

The Yamazaki

What is the Yamazaki best at?

Deep powder, full stop. Named after master craftsman Tomohito Yamazaki, it is a specialist with heavy setback, high taper, and a long wide nose for effortless float in the deepest snow and the trees.

Is it good on groomers and hardpack?

It will hold an edge and get you home, but this is a dedicated deep-snow board. If you want firm-snow performance, look at the Snurfs Up or Cabin Fever. The Yamazaki is happiest when it is bottomless.

How is it different from the Fugu?

The Yamazaki is built for powder and tree riding, with a softer flex and plenty of taper for maximum float. The Fugu is a powder board too, but minimal taper and a longer effective edge make it a carving machine on hardpack. Yamazaki for surfing the deepest days, Fugu for nimble, technical powder with more bite.

How do I choose my Yamazaki size?

Size down 2 to 3cm from your normal all-mountain board. The long nose and heavy setback keep the float, so you don't need the extra length. Base it on your height, weight, and boot size. Unsure, email us and we will help.

Do I need a wide board?

The Yamazaki doesn't come in a separate Wide, but the setback shape and waist suit most feet. Check the waist width on the specs above or run the and match it to your boot. If your boots are very large or you need help deciding, email us and we will sort your fit.

Is my board waxed and tuned, ready to ride?

Yes. Every board is hand finished before it ships. Edges tuned to precise angles, sidewalls bevelled, base flooded with premium Japanese wax and brushed to a mirror finish. Strap in and ride.

Ordering & Shipping

How long does a board take?

Lead time is around six weeks from order, plus about two weeks for delivery if you are overseas. We make only a very limited number each year and sell out each season, so ordering early secures your board for the coming winter. There is no stock and no production line.

Do you ship worldwide?

Yes. Worldwide shipping is available. Wherever you are, we can get your board to you.

Can you deliver to my hotel in Japan?

Yes. We ship anywhere in Japan, including to your hotel or accommodation. Send us the details of where you are staying and we will have your board waiting for your arrival.

Do you offer tax free?

No. But if you ship outside Japan, your purchase is exempt from the 10% Japan VAT.

Can I pick up my board from the factory?

Yes. You are welcome to collect your board from our factory in Niseko. Just let us know when you will collect and we will have your board ready for you.

The Factory

Where are Offshore Snow Shapes boards made?

By hand at our factory in Niseko, Japan. Every board is hand-crafted, made to order in small numbers. Learn more about our factory in Niseko.

Can I visit the factory?

Yes. Outside winter we are open 9am to 5pm, and through winter 8am to 8pm. Come and see how the boards are made, pick up your new board, or demo one of our shapes.

Can I demo a board before I buy?

Yes. Demo boards are available at the factory for around 5,000 yen a day, and you can also demo at Rhythm in Hirafu. It is the best way to feel a shape before you order.

Can I watch my board being made?

In winter you are welcome to drop by. Walk-ins are fine and we are happy to show you around the workshop while boards are in build. Come and see how they are made.

Do you offer a free tune?

Yes. As an Offshore owner, your board includes one complimentary tune each year at our Niseko Kōjō.

We’ll confirm the board against its serial number or original purchase details when you bring it in. Additional tuning, waxing and repair work is available at our regular service rates.

Do you have a showroom?

Yes. We have a small showroom at the factory where we sell limited-edition apparel and OFSR merchandise.

Series

Craft Series.

The house graphics.

Year 2026.

Information

Each season brings a new collection of Offshore graphics, designed by founder and designer Josh Monin in Niseko. New season, new art. The steady rhythm the brand was built on.

Drawing came before board building. Josh was designing long before the first Offshore was pressed, and the topsheet has always been treated as a small canvas. Composition, colour, weight and balance. The same attention given to the shape beneath it.

A Craft graphic belongs to its season. Years from now, someone will spot one on a wall and know the winter it came from.

Series

Urushi Series.

The flagship graphic.

Year 2026.

Information

Urushi is one of Japan’s oldest decorative traditions, with a history stretching back thousands of years.

For Offshore, the process begins with original artwork created by hand using genuine urushi lacquer. The finished piece is then photographed and digitised, translating its depth, movement and surface into a graphic that can be reproduced on a rideable snowboard.

The result is not a lacquered snowboard. It is a printed interpretation of the original work, made to be ridden.

A new artwork is created for the series each season.

Series

SR Series.

Limited release.

Year 2026.

Information

SR stands for Special Release.

It is where Offshore can follow an idea without needing it to become part of the permanent collection. Some releases begin with Josh in the Niseko studio. Others begin with an artist, a collaborator or something we simply want to make once.

Numbers stay small. Some graphics appear across a short run. Others exist on a single board.

What they share is simple: once an SR is gone, it does not return.

A moment, made physical.

iD Series.

Customised by you.

Year 2026.

Information

iD puts the final graphic decisions in your hands.

Choose the texture, colours, logo treatment and name, then see the design take shape as you build it.

The choices are yours. The board beneath them remains Offshore: the same shape, construction and performance, hand-crafted in Niseko.

Information

Custom starts with your artwork.

It might be a finished design, something still taking shape, or files that need a little work before they are ready for a snowboard.

Send them through and we’ll take it from there. We refine the layout, balance colours and prepare the artwork for the proportions and production requirements of your chosen shape.

Before anything enters the Kōjō, you receive a final digital proof to approve.

Once you are happy, the artwork is prepared for sublimation and your board enters production.

From first file to final board, we stay with the details.

Choose your shape, size and flex.
02 / Artwork

Send us your artwork, references or working files.
03 / Refine

We prepare the design for the topsheet, refining layout, colour and details where needed.
04 / Approve

You receive a final digital proof. Nothing enters production until you are happy with it.
05 / Build

Once approved, your chosen shape enters the build schedule at the Niseko Kōjō.
06 / Finish

Your artwork is sublimated into the topsheet, then the board is pressed, tuned and finished by hand.

Made for sublimation.

Every Custom graphic is sublimated into the topsheet.

The process reproduces colour and fine detail beautifully, but not every material or effect translates. Metallic inks, screen-printed effects, resin tints and finishes that rely on reflective or physical materials cannot be reproduced through sublimation.

Colours can also appear slightly different on a snowboard topsheet than they do on a screen.

We review the artwork with you and flag anything that needs adjusting before you approve the final design.

Your artwork. Your Offshore. One of one.

Series

Studio+ Series.

Work with the founder.

Year 2026.

Information

Studio+ begins before there is an artwork.

Bring an idea, a reference, a colour, a photograph, a feeling or simply a place to start. Josh works with you directly to find the visual direction and develop it into something that belongs on your board.

Years spent creating Offshore graphics have taught him when to add something, when to take something away and when a design has found its balance.

The process moves through conversation, references, sketches and revisions. You see the work develop and have the opportunity to shape the direction along the way.

Once the final artwork is approved, your chosen shape enters the Kōjō and is hand-crafted in Niseko.

One rider. One board. One graphic.
