Atelier Yanagi - Los Angeles based product design firm focusing on sports equipment- has its unique design philosophy.  Loving nature and surfing, Mr. Yanagisawa, the owner of Atelier Yanagi is now trying to invent 100% recyclable surfboard with performance and safety.

Since its success in developing "Ugly-Fishbone", a PET&Balsa-wood structured hybrid "sustainable" surfboard, Atelier Yanagi has been secretively undertaking a unidentified project named "SSB" or "SLB", which infers next generation surfboard design.  Mr. Yanagi has kept it secret what the code name "SSB" or "SLB" stand for, but a few close friend whisper that the first "S" may stand for "Sustainable".  Atelier Yanagi’s secretive activities hopefully would be discovered through this website in a little way down the road.

Life is emotional.  Do what you love and follow what you believe. - d.yanagisawa
