Swatch has officially welcomed 13-year-old board sports sensation Patti Zhou to its elite Swatch Proteam athlete roster. Known for her rare talent of excelling both in snowboarding and surfing, Patti brings unmatched energy and versatility to the brand’s team of global athletes.

Hailing from China, Patti began snowboarding in the mountains of Beijing at just two years old. Since then, her meteoric rise in the winter sports scene has captured the attention of fans and professionals alike. Her dedication and exceptional skill have earned her numerous accolades, including a historic podium finish at the 2023 Dew Tour, where she became the youngest athlete to ever achieve that feat. More recently, she claimed a silver medal at the China National Championships in 2024.

But Patti’s talents don’t stop at the slopes. She has proven her prowess in the surf world as well, securing 2nd place in the “Lady Bird” category at the prestigious STAB High Japan contest. A recent video of her carving waves at Waco Surf further reinforces her growing reputation as a formidable dual-discipline athlete.

Swatch highlights Patti’s vibrant personality and boundary-pushing spirit as a perfect match for the brand’s ethos. “Patti embodies the spirit of positive provocation and progression that Swatch is known for,” the brand stated. “Her playful energy, unique style, and relentless pursuit of her dreams align seamlessly with our values.”

With ambitions of competing in both snowboarding and surfing at the Olympic level, Patti Zhou is seen as a rising star set to inspire a new generation of athletes. Her addition to the Swatch Proteam reflects the brand’s continued commitment to supporting young, boundary-breaking talent.
