At Behind The Pines, everything revolves around our shared passion for snowboarding, surfing, and the lifestyle that surrounds it. We are more than just a shop – we are a close-knit group of friends who live for the mountains, the snow, and everything that comes with it. Our mission? To provide you with the very best gear, so you can enjoy the outdoors as intensely as we do.

Our team consists of experienced snowboarders, passionate climbers, and seasoned lifestylers. We know the products we sell not only from catalogs but have also tested them extensively on the slopes, in the backcountry, and during our own adventures. This hands-on experience allows us to give you personal and expert advice, ensuring you always head out with the right gear.

The Driving Force: Passion as Foundation

Our team is driven by an unquenchable passion for everything related to snow, mountains, and adventure. This passion is the thread that runs through our entire company and forms the basis of everything we do. Whether it’s selecting new products, advising customers, or organizing events, our love for the sport and nature always shines through.

This passion reflects in everything we do. We are not just colleagues; we are friends chasing dreams and sharing adventures together. Outside of work, you’ll often find us in the mountains, testing the latest boards and enjoying the Alps. These experiences provide us with valuable product knowledge to share with our customers.

Expertise that Goes Beyond Product Knowledge

At Behind The Pines, we believe that true expertise goes beyond memorizing product specifications. Of course, we know all the technical details of the products we sell, but our strength lies in understanding how this gear performs in real-life situations.

Each team member has their own specialty and favorite discipline within the snowboarding and outdoor world. From freeriding to freestyle, from mountaineering to trail running, we have an expert for every niche. This diversity of experiences and knowledge allows us to serve a wide range of customers, whether you’re a beginner snowboarder or an experienced mountain goat.

Continuous Learning and Growth as a Team

The world of outdoor gear never stands still, and neither do we. We are constantly sharpening our knowledge and skills. We regularly organize internal training sessions and workshops where we exchange experiences and learn from each other’s expertise. We also work closely with our suppliers to stay updated on the latest innovations and technologies.

But perhaps our most important learning experience is the field itself. Each season, the entire team embarks on a joint trip to the Alps. Here, we not only test the latest products but also strengthen our bond as a team. These trips are invaluable, enabling us to better advise and inspire our customers.

Customer-Centricity is in Our DNA

As a team, we share one key belief: the customer is always at the center. We understand that choosing the right gear is a significant investment, both financially and emotionally. That’s why we go all out to help you find the perfect equipment that suits your needs, level, and ambitions.

Our customer-centric approach goes beyond giving advice in the store. We regularly organize events and workshops where customers can discover new products and learn techniques. We are also always available for after-sales support. Have questions about maintaining your board or want tips for your next trip? We are here for you.

Sustainability as a Shared Mission

As nature lovers, we feel a strong responsibility to protect the environment we cherish. Sustainability is therefore a core value deeply rooted in our DNA. We consciously select brands and products that have a positive impact on the environment and strive to minimize our own ecological footprint.

This focus on sustainability is reflected in our product range, with brands like Patagonia and Veja leading the way in eco-friendly production. But it goes beyond that. As a team, we regularly brainstorm ways to make our business even greener and how we can inspire our customers to use their gear and nature more consciously.

Come Meet Our Team!

We hope this insight into our team has given you a better picture of who we are and what we stand for. To truly experience Behind The Pines, we warmly invite you to visit us at our shop in Amsterdam. Here, you can not only see and touch all our carefully curated products but also meet the faces behind the brand.

Let our stories inspire you, benefit from our advice, and maybe soon you’ll be standing next to us on the slopes during one of our legendary team trips. Because at Behind The Pines, we believe that the best adventures are shared!

So, are you ready to become part of our community? Come by, grab a coffee (the best in Amsterdam, if we may say so ourselves), and get swept away by our passion for everything snow and mountains. The team at Behind The Pines is ready to make your next outdoor adventure unforgettable!
