""Ask a child to draw a snowboarder, and there's a good chance they'd come up with something that looks a lot like Halldór Helgason. He's the archetypal shredder: baggy pants, oversized hoody, scruffy hair poking out the beanie, splashes of neon from head to toe. Tattoos and 'tache accompanied by a heavy soundtrack" (Rob McCreath, WL Issue 122) Halldór has defined what it means to be a snowboarder for almost two decades."
"Bataleon are the pioneering brand behind Triple-Base-Technology and 3D shaping in snowboards. A technology that Halldór had previously licensed for his brand Lobster Snowboards, so he's more than familiar with the products and we're excited to see him jump straight into full gear with the Bataleon team on fresh boards, boots and bindings. "After spending years in the snowboard business, I've realized that I want to continue being surrounded by good people,focus my energy on riding my snowboard,and leave the'business'to the people in the office,""
Halldór Helgason embodies the classic snowboarder image and has influenced snowboard style for nearly twenty years. He is an inventive rider credited with tricks like the Lobster Flip and the Jerk Off Flip. Halldór has joined Bataleon Snowboards alongside prominent riders such as Ethan Morgan and Toshiki Yamane. Bataleon pioneered Triple-Base-Technology and 3D shaping, a technology Halldór previously licensed for Lobster Snowboards. Halldór intends to focus on riding while Bataleon provides boards, boots, bindings, and team support. Team leadership expresses long-standing enthusiasm about the partnership and mutual fit.
