Elias Hamalainen

A natural on the board and in the air, Elias Hämäläinen has been heating up in Finland and is now taking his show on the road. A member of the Finland National Team (alongside the likes of Rene Rinnekangas), Elias has been focused on his progression and the hard work is showing. In 2025 he pulled up to the Finland National Championships and rode away finishing 1st in big air and 2nd in halfpipe—not your usual combination of disciplines (except for Rene Rinnekangas). Elias also has the rails skills to fully connect the contest dots. He dropped a VQS submission in 2025 that showcased exactly how comfortable he is between the rails and big air, and it earned him an invite  to compete at the inaugural snowboard Rockstar Energy Open in the onsite qualifier in Breckenridge, Colorado.
