Sam Klein

Hard working, calm, relaxed and incredibly talented—these are the qualities of a person that deserves everything they have, because they earned it. Sam Klein is that guy in snowboarding. Hailing from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Sam’s midwest nice attitude is as true as the stereotypes claim, but that ends once he straps in and decides to punish something on his snowboard. Let’s just say his approach to both the streets or mountains is not to go medium, he’s not about that. Need proof, peep one of his incredible video parts from flicks like Quicksand from 2022 or Wild Game in 2023—the type of parts that are always worth a re-watch. In 2025, Sam dropped an entry into the VQS, and to little surprise his video wowed the masses. So much so he became the winner of Best Video Entry for his week of submissions and ultimately earned him an invite to compete at the inaugural snowboard Rockstar Energy Open in the onsite qualifier.
