Caught Up With Eero Niemela:

Eero Niemala appreciates snowboarding. Not acrobatics, not who’s in first place, but actual snowboarding-in the mountains, with friends, in deep snow. These types of riders are becoming a rarity in today’s world. But they’re still there, and thankfully we got to sit down and talk with one.

So you live in Southern California for the most part. Where exactly in So Cal do you live?

I live in Encinitas, California. I like it out here because I have to deal with so much bad weather during the wintertime. It’s just so awesome to come back and recharge the batteries in the sun. You never have to worry about weather when you’re planning your day because you know it’s always going to be sunny.

How long have you lived there for?

I’ve been out in Encinitas for five years.
