Living life sideways
I’m Dennis Larkiala, a 17-year-old Finnish snowboarder competing at national and international level. I started snowboarding at the age of four, and freestyle snowboarding quickly became my passion. I train year-round in Ruka and focus on continuous progression, strong contest performance, and long-term development. My goal is to represent Finland at the Olympic Games, and DOP3 Energy supports me in pushing my limits on and off the snow.
