The Zen story
Opening a world of shredding

For years I would hit the infamous natural gullies in the Hasliberg resort, honing my skills on the board. It wasn’t long before I started competing in banked slalom races, hunting for the fastest board that could handle this kind of terrain. I soon realized that the board I needed didn’t exist.

In 2010 I built my first snowboard press and after 5 years of feedback, reiteration and constant evolution, I had accomplished a high-end board that was not only fun to ride in all types of terrain, but also put me on the podium of multiple world-class banked slalom races.

Core Zen values
Work with purpose
We build boards that we ride ourselves. We will always push boundaries, explore and evolve. We will challenge conventional thinking and continue to push snowboarding forwards.
Share the knowledge
We strive to elevate those around us. From the grommets to the veteran shredders to those we work with. We don't know everything, but together we can take this to a new level.
Respect our planet
We source materials from as close to home as possible and work on reducing our impacts every day. These mountains are our playground and they will be the stomping grounds for many future generations.
