As the weather starts to turn and snow begins to fall, many of us are turning to the wonderful world of snowboard movies to ignite our stoke for winter ahead. However rather than starting that fire in our hearts with kindling, HOKKAIDO – the latest short flic from Nidecker – throws a gallon of petrol right onto the match.
A straight up froth-fest of powder slashes, bottomless turns, big sends and soft landings. In short, the kind of snowboarding we all dream of.
HOKKAIDO follows Taylor Gold, Mela Stalker, Cooper Branham and Sebby K as they journey deep into the Japanese islands backcountry on a hunt for the best powder on the planet.
