EV53 - Martin “Hasi” Haslwanter, stay as you are.‪ ‬ Estamos Vivos

From stuffing boots to becoming an integral part of the history of snowboarding, Martin “Hasi” Haslwanter has been Burton Europe Team Manager for almost 30 years and within this time he opened the door and nurtured some of the most epic careers in snowboarding, signing riders like Gigi Ruf, Nicolas Muller, Fredi Kalbermatten and the list goes on. 

Catching him right before his 50th birthday this chat had a different feeling. Some reminiscence, some laughs, lots of snowboard talk but above all a chat that opens the door into the intricacies and insights that come from a life on the road, form mountain to mountain and contest to contest. 

Now Hasi has a new role at Burton, which comes with some new challenges as-well that we will probably talk about in the future, but this time we talked about keeping the balance between a professional relationship and friendships, the actual job of being a Team Manager and how this role has changed, or not, during the years.

Also…Hey Hasi, how can I get my kid sponsored? A question that comes up on the daily and one that Hasi also tried to explain how this will come your way. 

Our talk evolved and deepened enough for Hasi to acknowledge some of the people that helped him the most during his career and life, closing this episode in a real, inspiring and cool way. 



With you, Martin “Hasi” Haslwanter, stay as you are.
