SINCE 1971
THE FIRST SNOWSURFBOARDS went on sale under the Moss Snowstick name in 1979 and featured the first ever fixed hard bindings. Developed from the release plates used on skis and designed for use with ski boots, our innovative designs ushered snowsurfing to the next level to achieve the more precise carving sought out by our founders.
To further promote the spread of snowsurfing, we established the Japan Snow Surfing Association in 1982, and hosted the first snowsurfing championships at Ludens Showa ski resort in Niigata the following year. Through the Association, we continued to launch tournaments including the Marui Snow Surfing Grand Prix, giving rise to athletes like Taro Tamai of Gentemstick. In 1984, the progenitor of the Moss Snowstick signature U series launched. Called the V-1 series, the boards featured a layered fiberglass core and fluorine resin coating with cracked steel edges.
