Ståle Sandbech’s been all about snowboarding since he was 8 years old. Coming out of Norges Toppidrettsgymnas (NTG) snowboarding school in Geilo, Norway, Ståle’s riding foundation is solidly set.
Since he dropped in on his first invitation-only World Snowboard Tour Arctic Challenge Elite level event in 2007 at the age of 13, Ståle is no stranger to International level events. One of the few riders on the competition circuit who’s considered a true all-round competitor, Ståle has Halfpipe, Slopestyle, and Big Air dialed, and he can take it to the street and the backcountry like a BOSS.
With a stack of impressive results stats, and memorable video parts, Ståle’s riding speaks volumes. From owning the 2011/2012 WST Overall Tour Champion to both the 2013/2014 Overall and Men’s Slopestyle WST titles and to taking home the silver at Slopestyle’s 2014 Olympic debut in Sochi, Russia – Ståle is recognized as a rider who puts it down with super sick style and textbook precision.
Off-snow Ståle loves his water sports, skating and general good times antics with family and friends.
