Rene Rinnekangas

Consistently having the most fun, Rene Rinnekangas is the rider everyone wants to watch take on every obstacle. A lighthearted spirit with a keen eye for a creative approach, Rene is a perfect blend of technical expression on a snowboard. Hailing from Iisalmi in Northern Finland, Rene has become a worldwide favorite. He is a two-time Olympian (PyeongChang 2018, Beijing 2022) in big air and slopestyle, who has also stacked more types of clips to put together some of the most fun and re-watchable video parts—Rene is dedicated to doing it all. A perfect example is his 2024 Heaven part, he went all out from start to finnish with the most creatively terrifying street hammers before chasing storms and sending the hairiest of lines. Plus a booter section. But Rene does things his way.
