“It’s all about just kinda mixing up the sports. A little surfing, a little snowboarding. It’s pretty much like the same thing when its a lot of powder like we’ve been scoring here in Japan.” -Jamie O’Brien

Jamie O’Brien left the island paradise of Hawaii and hopped a flight to Hokkaido, Japan to have a bit of winter fun. He was 100% “psyching” as he spent the morning shredding deep japow and then cruised to the coast to sample some waves in the Sea of Japan. One hell of a way to spend a day on the northernmost of Japan’s main islands. Cheers.
