BIOGRAPHY

Eric had his revelation at the age of 19 when he first got on a snowboard. Since then, he has never stopped and has been performing daily for years. At 21, he decided to move to Whistler and then to Colorado to train even more. His sole objective is to be better than yesterday and not as good as tomorrow! That’s why he practices snowboarding by doing double seasons. With the reversed seasons, he leaves Montreal in the summer to go to Chile and be with his family, taking advantage of the winter to snowboard. At 25, he started competing at the provincial level and acquiring his first sponsors. He then participated in regional competitions in Chile and was also a rider for the St Sauveur park team. With the help of his sponsors, he was able to travel to the western United States to further learn about his passion and become even better! His sponsors include Volcom, Empire boardshop, Salomon Snowboard, Vans Canada, Electric eyewear, Howl, Mateina, and NXTGEN.

For him, NXTGEN allows him to create a good balance and provides him with the tools to improve. “NXTGEN gives me the means I need to develop overall health to enhance my performance in my sport, protect myself from injuries, and also help me heal from previous injuries, which contributes to my overall mental health.”
