DEUS EX MACHINA presents Deus Powdertools Alternative Snowcraft.

Influenced by our fondness of deep powdery days in the snowy mountains, DEUS POWDERTOOLS was a notion conjured up by Japan’s DEUS chapter.  With steady snowfall common in the mountainous regions of the country, frosty winters are a part of life for many here.  The ‘SnowSurf’ subculture has been around in Japan for decades and the Japanese have been experimenting with hand shaped edgeless snowcraft for some time now.  Deus Powdertools snowboards incorporate those radical tail and nose concepts to innovative technology and material applications for ... easy carve, awesome float, smooth glide snowcraft.   
 
At a glance this collection of odd-shaped boards appear to be created specifically for the fluffy white stuff, but these alternative shapes are designed to carve exceptionally on groomed runs as well as excel in deep powder. 
 
What started out 6 years ago together with established surfboard builder, Takuya ‘Tappy’ Yoshikawa, as a design experiment in innovative ‘Snowsurf’ boards has become an extension of Deus’ ‘Culture of Creativity’ in Japan. 
 
A natural progression from commutes to the snowy peaks came a desire to create a "Metro to Mountain" apparel collection under the same name for these cold winter trips.  Being dressed for the cold weather makes smart sense but being smartly dressed for the city is sensible too. 

The Edgeless Snowboard, A New Winter Toy

The changing of seasons means changing wardrobes for the change in weather but for some it’s also a change of playgrounds.  A shift from sea to snow and bringing out toys for winter playgrounds. The concept of snowboarding originated in the United States in the 60’s as an experiment, to ‘Surf on Snow”.   

Before the snow season kicks off, Takuya “TAPPY” Yoshikawa is busy in his workshop, working on new snowboard concepts, drawing curves on uncut wood snow planks. Draw-Cut out-Test ride-Redraw, will be the routine while another pre-season routine is building up the body strength and stamina for long deep-snow hikes to the peaks to test the new designs. When ultimate weather and snow conditions align on THE DAY, Tappy will be ready to take the 4 hour snow shoe hike up to the peak, off load the board, u-turn and glide all the way down an untouched mountain side of fresh piled powder on his new handmade edgeless board. The ultimate test ride experience...
