THE PLANT
純日本生産のカスタムオーダーグローバルプロジェクトTHE PLANT。THE PLANT X THE SHAPERSではウッドコアやマテリアルのほとんどを日本で調達し、日本産のオリジナルコア、ポイントエッジ、突き板 + クラックトップシートなど独自のコンセプトも採用。フレックス、エッジの仕様もセミカスタム対応が可能。また、今回のTHE SHAPERSのラインナップ全てのアウトラインやボトム形状はSHAPERたちがBLANKSをハンドシェイプしたマスターボードをベースにCADデータへと落とし込み、微調整を重ねながら完成形へともっていくスノーボード作りの新たなプロセスをも構築している。
THE PLANT
THE PLANT is a purely Japan-produced custom order global projext. The majority of the woodcore and materials THE PLANT X THE SHAPERS use are produced in Japan. Propriety concepts such as origianl Japanesecores, point edges, and veneers + cracked top sheets are used, and flex and edge specifications are also semi-customisable. In a new process that pushes the design and manufacture of snowboards foward, the outline and base shape of all the boards in the THE SHAPERS line-up are basedon master boards handshaped by the SHAPERS on BLANKS. These are theconverted to CAD data and fine-tuned to produce the final form.
