- It’s time for the 3rd chapter of our portrait series, which will take us to the slopes of Hakuba, Japan. ‘The Nature of Gliding’ is an ode to embracing various things, the connection of man with nature and moving with the flow of life.
“Variety is the spice of life”, a friend once told me and that’s what this video represents. ‘The Nature of Gliding’ is a stunning portrayal of the embodiment of these powerful words, brought to life through our esteemed team rider, longtime friend, and Hakuba-resident, Kazushige Fujita.
We follow our long-time friend and teamrider Shige on a trip taking us around the beautiful scenery of Japan. We watch him gracefully carving the slopes of his hometown, Hakuba WOKOU, effortlessly gliding atop a pair of waves along the Japanese coastline, and skating the endless streets nestled amidst towering mountains.
The third portrayal of YOW’s portrait series, where we will shine a light on our team of diverse riders all around the globe, inspiring and encouraging the art of self-expression.
A film by Jun Yamagishi
Starring Kazushige Fujita

This was some of the most beautiful snowboarding I have ever seen and props to yow for linking snowboarding, surfing and surfskating
As a snowboarder and skater I was transfixed by how beautiful a snow/skate movie that was. I’m obsessed with some places in Utah and this year’s record snowfall gave me the opportunity to access it. Shige’s comment on only being able to ride certain areas when the conditions are perfect really hit the mark! There’s a great surf movie from the ‘70s called “Big Wednesday” that basically sums up those greatest hopes and desires of boarders and surfers everywhere. Thanks Yow for publishing!
This was beautiful. Love to see the connection between surfing, snowboarding and skateboarding
ive thought this for quite awhile since my surfer friends first introduced surfskating to me. i feel it most on the trans or bowls
Enhorabuena y gracias a Yow por este maravilloso vídeo.
No quiero polemizar con otros comentarios. Si alguno prefiere centrar todo su interés en una sola modalidad de deslizamiento (o solo ha probado una), es su decisión.
Por mi parte, lo que me fascina de este vídeo y me tiene en estado de shock pulsando repetidamente el play -además de la calidad visual y la naturaleza que muestra- es el paralelismo entre surfskating y snowboarding. Estamos todos muy habituados a la conexión visual entre surfskate y surf -de agua-, pero no con el surf de nieve, que es lo que realmente hace este señor. No utiliza la velocidad de la pendiente para subir recto una pared y salir por el aire haciendo piruetas. Lo suyo es una verdadera compresión en el bottom turn -alucinante- y una extensión al subir por el labio. Genera potencia como un surfista en la cara de la ola. Y los giros tan redondos que hace en la nieve polvo de la montaña o cómo le pega a los bumps son todo maniobras de surf, y precisamente por eso, también de surfskate.
La similitud de movimientos en el half pipe de nieve y en el de cemento es asombrosa.
O los lay backs que hace al llegar arriba. Nada que ver con el snowboarding que solemos ver, de grandes aéreos, que no tiene mucha relación con el surfskate.
Por eso, por abrir todo un nuevo mundo de analogía, me resulta este vídeo fascinante e inspirador. Gracias otra vez
