The "sisu" is a 2010 Hudson Super Predator (elite) heavyweight single. The shell was purchased by Doug Rathburn
earlier in 2010 as his personal shell. However, after his company decided to transfer him overseas he didn't need the
shell anymore and donated it to the team. The name, sisu, is a Finnish word that roughly translates to "strength of will,
determination, or perseverance." More details on the meaning of the word can be found here on
Wikipedia.
