rudepup 0 Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Having ploughed through all the topics in the forum I stand before y'all to ask, Can anyone recommend a Resort (preferably in Yuzawa/Naeba area) that can rent gear for someone 190cm tall and with size 32cm shoes? My lil bro is comin over to visit and I wanna take him for a taste of boardin in Japan. Any suggestions much appreciated, Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Naspa Ski Garden Naeba Gala Yuzawa Iwappara also I think 32 will be limited though so if there are other huge gaijin around... Sounds like your lil brother is actually quite big. Link to post Share on other sites

rudepup 0 Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 Just a quick update, Gala Yuzawa's largest snowboard gear was a 165 Salomon board and size 30cm boots (with huge toe-overhang thanks to crappy bindings) Link to post Share on other sites
Kraut_in_HongKong 0 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 You should really contact some rentals (probably through your targeted hotel) and check if they have what you need. They may have 1 pair, if that is out your bro watches the action from the sidelines. I would start right now and check if you can rent stuff in Tokyo. With my 30.5 I am careful too and book boots in advance. Link to post Share on other sites
me jane 0 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Found out recently that the military bases do ski & board rental with no size issues but you need to find a military friend to get them for you. Krusty on here was military but haven't seen him post this year. Link to post Share on other sites
