Taro Tamai believes the entire world is worthy of interaction and thoughtful consideration. He discovered his love for nature and everything in it through fishing, surfing, and snowboarding. Those became the activities in which Taro engaged most deeply with his surroundings, drawing inspiration from each pursuit.
He is drawn to challenging and paradoxical circumstances — cold, empty swells, spring snow, and reluctant fish that have grown large with their wisdom. The earth presents roads less traveled with a subtle, nuanced beauty. And Taro always takes these roads. His snowboards are not just iconoclastic; they’re a pure expression of everything he believes to be true about the opportunities the mountains provide, tangible pieces of his well-refined philosophy on life.
“With your own body- your skin, veins, and blood- their relation to each other is essential to preserve the balance of the whole,” he says.
