Chop the throttle, drop in deep, and let gravity do the rest - the Japow is Weston’s ultimate powder slayer, built for days when it’s absolutely nuking and the only thing that matters is float, flow, and face shots.

With a massive nose, heavy taper, and iconic swallowtail, the Japow is made to surf through bottomless storms and glide effortlessly through trees and open bowls alike. Its rocker-camber profile keeps the nose up without washing out your tail, giving you the control to slash, drift, and stomp even in the deepest of conditions.

But don’t let the pow shape fool you. The Japow isn’t just for snorkel days in Japan. It’s shockingly nimble, holds a solid edge on the runout, and makes storm riding feel effortless, whether you're dropping sidecountry shots or hunting for spines in your backyard range.

Built with our Slayer Core (Poplar w/ Bamboo Stringers), Rugged Topsheet, and ultra-dampening PU Sidewalls, the Japow brings sustainability and durability to every storm chase. Backed by our 4-Year Warranty and Board Slayer Program.

For the deepest days and the dreamiest turns - ride the Japow.

Hokkaido Backcountry Club has spent years exploring resorts, endless backcountry zones, and sidecountry in search of the best lines, hidden zones, and deepest powder Japan can offer. It’s only fitting we teamed up to create a limited-edition artist series version of our legendary deep dish deck, the JAPOW!
