New to the family this year will be halfpipe ripper and Winter Olympics contender Tommy �The Machine� Czeschin.

Another new addition, Jaime MacLeod will be representing the women�s side of shredding. Fresh off a Gold Medal in the Winter X-Games Slopestyle, Jaime is quickly establishing herself as one of the top snowboarders in the world.

For a little Euro flair, Dani �Costi� Costandache joins the O�Neill USA Family. A product of O�Neill Europe for the past few seasons, Dani will continue to jet set across the pond from Europe to the U.S. in search of the best snow. Dani will also continue organizing the infamous O�Neill / Davos SB JAM, each New Year�s Eve.
