Bio
Eero Ettala is one of the most technical riders coming out of Finland. Eero has been shredding since the age of 11 and is now entering his sixth season as a pro. The style that Eero brings to snowboarding is truly unmatched, and Eero’s bag of tricks runs deep from boned out 1080s over 70-foot gap jumps in the backcountry to lipsliding a 30 set staircase handrail in a night session.
Eero likes to read books by Dan Brown, and kick it with his family between his busy snowboarding schedule. He spends a lot of his down time from shredding on snow by skateboarding around whatever city he finds himself in.
Eero rocks not only the Oakley eyewear line, but also our technical outerwear. You can see Eero’s favorite Oakley gear in Mack Dawgs newest film “Follow Me Around”, or during his cameo’s on his best friend Heikki Sorsa’s Fuel TV show “Sorsa Project”.
