Quiksilver è orgogliosa di dare il benvenuto nel suo Global Team di Snowboard ad Austen Sweetin. Nato a Seattle, solo venticinquenne, è già famoso in tutto il mondo per la sua personalità ed il suo stile.
Veloce ed elegante ma al tempo stesso pazzo, creativo ed estremamente divertente, è stato nominato tra i migliori 10 rider al mondo da Snowboarder Mag. Ha inoltre da poco concluso le riprese di After Forever, realizzato con Absinthe Films.
Il nuovo rider Quiksilver ha uno stile davvero inconfondibile che gli permette di impressionare sia in back country che in ogni tipo di street spot. Come se non bastasse, messa via la tavola da snowboard, monta su quella da skate o da surf, mantenendo sempre quell’energia, quella classe e quella pazzia che lo contraddistinguono in ogni circostanza.
Fast. Cool. Quirky. Stylish. Fun. Crazy. Creative. Bold. There are a ton of different ways to describe Austen Sweetin. And now, a Quiksilver team rider is one of them.
We’re proud to announce the signing of the Seattle native. At 25-years-old, Austen has already made a huge impact after being named one of Snowboarder Mag’s top 10 riders and nailing the final section in Absinthe Films’ “After Forever”. He’s got a reputation as one of the world’s best all-terrain riders, which means and he rips at pretty much everything that can be ripped — street, park, back country, skating, surfing, guitar…life in general.
We’re proud to sign him. But more than proud, we’re stoked to see what he does next. Welcome to The Mountain & The Wave Austen!
Travis Rice:
“He is definitely one my favourite snowboarders to watch right now. That Miller flip over Craig’s Cross in After Forever? C’mon. Welcome to The Mountain and The Wave Austen.”
Bryan Fox:
“Austen is an extremely talented human being, but please don’t let that take away from the fact that I was his coach for six days when he was 11 years old. I may or may not have taught him everything he knows….haha. Honestly though, he lives and breathes boardriding and is a perfect example of what Quiksilver is about: traveling the world and experiencing cultures with a board under your arm. Welcome to the team my friend.”
