Shion Takaiwa’s new Double Up Wakeboards edit is a real look at how he rides and where it comes from. His style has always been different — creative, technical, and thoughtful — but never forced. He rides in a way that feels natural to him, intentional, mixing control and flow with a highly detailed touch.
This project reflects his Japanese heritage and the environments that shaped him. The landscapes, the quiet spots, and the everyday surroundings all play a part. There’s a strong sense of care and precision in how he approaches wakeboarding, influenced by the culture he grew up in. You can see that in how he chooses lines, how he moves, and how he builds tricks.
Double Up Wakeboards shares a similar mindset. The brand is focused on giving wakeboarding a new perspective — from board design to the way riding is approached. It’s about thoughtful shapes, modern ideas, and pushing things forward without losing the feel of riding.
Knew Tokyo keeps things honest and true to him. Supported by @garden_wake_surf@videmaga and @yanmarmarineinternationalasia
