Some people are just born to snowboard. Their talent on two edges transcends any one riding discipline and their motivation to shred oozes from every pore of their body. Thrilled to announce we’ve added another such phenomenally skilled and dedicated snowboarder to the Jones family…

Welcome to the team Antti Autti!

Few riders can claim an X-Games halfpipe gold medal, an Olympics finals qualification and a growing catalog of signature freeride films to their professional snowboard legacy. Finnish shred legend Antti Autti is 100% that guy!

Antti has been riding for 25 years, and though he’s moved on from competition, he shows no signs of slowing down. Inspired by his splitboard and a passion for film making, Antti’s released several highly regarded short films in recent years and he’s got another upcoming film project in the works. Antti is also one of the co-founders of Arctic Weekend, a freeride festival in Rovaniemi, Finland.

We’re incredibly excited to start working with Antti. His talent on snow is only matched by his motivation to share his love for snowboarding in amazing and artistic ways. To kick off the partnership we caught up with him to find out more about his career, his new film project and why he’s stoked to be strapping into Jones board.
