Artec Snowboards is pleased to&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;announce the addition of Swedish super ripper Hans Ahlund to our Pro&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Team.\\u00a0 Hans joins recent additions Lisa Filzmoser (Austria) and Kalle&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Ohlson (Norway) as part of Artecs development from a progressive&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;freestyle project to a full blown global force.\\u00a0 As one of the&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Pirates&amp;#8221; Hans has an exception part in this seasons &amp;#8220;Hooked&amp;#8221; by&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Pirate movie productions to add to his impressive appearances in&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;previous Pirate releases and too many magazine to mention.\\u00a0 Hans&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;brings exceptional freestyle skills, super sweet steez, and a strong&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Euro following to the Artec program.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Hans is on point right now and fits perfectly into what we are doing&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;with Artec. This team is getting deep and I love the diversity of our&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;program. We are starting to have all these rippers from all over, a&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;collection of misfits and rejects that are simply too f-ing good to&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;ignore. And what they all have in common is that they love to&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;snowboard, and they believe in what we are doing with Artec. I love&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;this crew.\\u00a0 Welcome to the team Hans.&amp;#8221;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Blaise Rosenthal, Artec Creative Director&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m really hyped to be a part of the Artec program! \\u00a0 I&amp;#8217;ve been&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;riding the boards while I&amp;#8217;ve been filming for the last couple of&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;weeks in Sweden for the new Pirate flick and the boards feel great!&amp;#8221;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Hans Ahlund&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;This kid isn&amp;#8217;t just a great rider, he&amp;#8217;s also a great guy. Hans is a&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;perfect fit for our team.
