Zimtstern Snowboard Ambassador Reto Kestenholz swapped his snow- for a surfboard and went on a nice trip to France and Northern Spain for a month. Swell was good and there were waves to ride every day. His girlfriend took the beautiful pictures below.
Now Reto is back in Switzerland and on his snowboard again – he just went to Zermatt with his crew to celebrate the last warm days of the year in Zermatt. We hope he has lots of fun in the autumn sun!
Zimtstern Ambassador Renate Bickel just came back from a boat trip in Indonesia. She found a beautiful spot in West Sumatra with perfect waves, but unfortunately the exact coordinates are „top secret“, as Reni says. We are green with envy and already dreaming of our next surf trip when we are looking at these pictures.
Linus Bikendahl is hungry for the upcoming winter season. In New Zealand he started with his best ever positioning. With his run in the semi finals, a frontside air, backside 540, frontside 720, cab 720 & frontside 900 at the worldcup in Cardrona he placed himself on the 15th position. Great job Linus and we are looking forward to seeing more of that soon!

We’ve already seen some snapshots of the Zimtstern Skateboard Team’s shooting trip to Luxembourg. Now Happy Ivo finished a fresh little edit of the week. Thanks for that!
Seattle
Zimtstern Snowboard Team Rider Helen Nadig and her boyfriend spent some weeks in the USA and came back with some beautiful shots! Here she tells what she loves about Amiland.
“How good was our vacation in the USA. Started in Seattle and drove down to L.A. After some sightseeing in Seattle and Portland we decided to go camping with the deers and bears…
Camping lake
…Mt. Hood, Crater Lake and two stops at the westcoast in the redwood national state park…
Mt. Hood
…Can you imagine USA without burgers, fries and shakes? Yes we did. Always cooked our delicious meals over the fire: pasta, rice, veggies…
Camping food
…Ok, a crazy crunchy donut for dessert was in, sometimes…
California
…After some summer/winter time in San Francisco we cruised down to L.A.: Venice Beach, our favorite spot…
Dogtown
…You can skate, surf,…
Bike Cruise
…bike, run, swim, basketball, tennis, do exercise, whatever you prefer it’s awesome…
Red Hot Chili Peppers
…And if you are lucky you will see some famous musicians or actors. 1 hour in Venice and we already got a shot of the making of the „Red Hot Chili Peppers – The Adventures Of Rain Dance Maggie“ videoclip and a little concert for free!..
Hollywood
Calilove
…And sadly we are already back in Swissi now. But it’s nice here too!”
Zimtstern Ambassador Andrej Marincic is one of those kids that is always where the snow is, whether it’s winter or summer!

No miniramp tour stop last weekend but a lot of action in Luxembourg at the skate shooting. The Crew (Fabian Dörig, Ivo Schneiter, Cedric Romanens, Silvio Barro and Dominic Zimmermann) found tons of sick spots and was blessed with the nicest weather what resulted in a great number of awesome shots. Special thanks to all the locals and of course Howzee and our crew for making this happen!

Happy Ivo & Ced la Bombe – back on tour
The Miniramp Tour stop at Free4Style was a huge success. Everyone in Estavayer-le-Lac was waiting for our dream team Happy Ivo and Ced la bombe to build up the Zimtstern miniramp one more time. Together with their friends from the French speaking part of Switzerland they were skating nearly round-the-clock, pushing eachother to the next level. In the end Mickey Iglesias won the competition on Sunday and Brandon Bacor got the freestyle.ch-ticket for the best trick.
