pagos77 0 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knew of any good snowboarding retail stores in Osaka? More specifically I am looking for some Flow bindings. Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites
dizzy 0 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 i swear by FLOW if in osaka (i used to live 10-minutes' bike ride from shinsaibashi), i'd suggest spotaka. unfortunately, as usual, the high-marketed priced bindings. check yahoo japan or other sources for good deals! bathroom slippers are the best!

tripitaka 0 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Pagos, You missed the sale at Osaka Dome last weekend. Heaps of Flow bindings. I bought some! I also think Spotaka's your best bet. The small specialist stores are good but pricey. Link to post Share on other sites
pagos77 0 Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 Thanks guys...I will give Spotaka a try. I actually did make it to the sale at Osaka dome and bought a new Flow board and some other gear...but the line for bindings wa too long!! I lined up outside the stadium for one and a half hours!!

tripitaka 0 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Pagos, I went on Saturday (but got in with help of a friend who was organizing) and bought a Flow board too! I went back on Monday around 4 p.m. and you could walk straight in. Still heaps of gear left, including bindings. I was hoping they were going to discount the 08-09 bindings but they didn't. If you're hard up for cash, you could always check out B-SPORTS in Amagasaki, but it's not that cheap for used gear. If you can negotiate Yahoo Auctions etc, in Japanese, that's another good angle.

Didn't buy anything but had a good look at lots of gear and then went back home to week on my bank account, Link to post Share on other sites
