Island Snowboards | Vol. 1

ISLAND SNOWBOARDS | VOL. 1 While on a trip to Japan in January 2020 photographer / film maker Owen Tozer travelled up north to Hokkaido to shred with his friends from the Dragon Lodge who were on their annual powder mission to the island. Staying with Island Snowboards founder Owain Bassett they decided to document a day in the life of his winter in this powder kingdom: Evenings building boards in the workshop, mornings clearing snow, before heading off in search of lines to hike and ride on what developed into a rare bluebird day in the Niseko backcountry. Collaborating with another Tignes / Dragon Lodge crew member Pete Leakey - who composed bespoke original music - the film captures the atmosphere and showcases the beautiful landscape unique to winter on Hokkaido.
