Heikki Sorsa at the 2008 Winter Dew Tour Breckenridge
Weekend Snowboards today announced that Heikki Sorsa will
now be receiving boxes of their snowboards. But it does’nt stop
there. He will be taking them out of the box, putting bindings on
them, and performing professional level snowboard maneuvers
on them at mountains, sports arenas, and perhaps even the
occasional shaved ice covered parking lot worldwide.
“Suomalaiset lumilautailijat ja pesukarhut ovat aika samanlaisia,
eli Heikki sopii aivan täydellisesti tiiimiin, kuin nyrkki silmään*.”
commented fellow Finn and co-founder of Weekend Christian
Didrichsen from Weekend HQ in the epicenter of wintersports,
Laguna Beach, California.
Heikki just returned from High Cascade Snowboard Camp where
he was doing his Signature Session with campers that came from
as far away as Maine, Japan and even more exotic locations like
New Jersey.
This upcoming month, you will find Heikki at the typical pro
snowboarder summer hangouts. You know, Whistler Wahoo’s,
Talma Trestles, Mount Snow Mexico, and other hotbeds of
professional snowboarding prowess.
Heikki joins Wyoming native Mark Carter on Weekend. It really
works out well because now Mark won’t be the only one partying
in the hot tub on team trips anymore, because that was kind of
getting weird.
*= Google Translate works wonders for things like this.
Trust us. We use it when ordering Mexican food around here
all the time.

At Weekend, we believe snowboards should be coveted, and not
commodities. All of our boards are individually hand numbered
and extremely limited edition. Once they are gone they are gone,
and that is just the way we like it.
