Eddie Wall has signed with Bond Outerwear and Weekend Snowboards according to an announcement that went out last night just in time for day one of SIA Show in Denver.
“Our whole philosophy with our brands is to work with people, whether they are reps, riders, or our accounts, that get what we are doing and have the same passion for it that we do,” stated Dan McNamara, co-Founder of Bond Outerwear. “Eddie is a great fit for us because he is one of us, and having him as part of the family means the world to Christian and I.”
Eddie joins Heikki Sorsa and TJ Schneider on Bond and Mark Carter and Heikki on Weekend Snowboards. Sounds like the Laguna Beach, California scene is back on the up.
Follow the jump for all the details.
On the eve of our first ever SIA tradeshow, we are very pleased to announce the addition of Eddie Wall to Bond Outerwear. We have known Eddie for a long time and not only is he a great rider, but a great person as well. With one of the strongest work ethics in the business, Eddie is the definition of a professional snowboarder.

Eddie Wall loses bet, now rides for Weekend Snowboards
It was a rainy day around Weekend HQ last week. Our good friend Eddie Wall stopped on in to “chew the fat” as they* say, so we decided to lay it all on the line and see if we could make things interesting. The bet was set, if Eddie could not finish 3 crackers in 30 seconds, he would ride for Weekend. A sweeter scene could not be set.
After a quick run to the corner store for an ample supply of savory saltines, we set up the main course. Eddie had several techniques, from the old “stuff it and soak it” water strategy, to the “stack ’em and slam ’em” layering method. However, none proved superior to the power of the saliva sponges that we all know as the American saltine cracker. So with that said, welcome to the team Eddie.
Mark Carter, Heikki Sorsa, and Eddie Wall are a group of damn handsome young men who also happen to make up the Weekend pro team. But the handsome part is probably more impressive.
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.
