At the heart of every Bataleon is a combination of 3BT™ and positive camber. It’s an innovative solution to the profile puzzle that minimizes the potential for edge-catch without sacrificing ollie power or carving performance. From this starting point, we fine-tune each element according to the boards desired riding style.

A directional ride that has no problem going switch, the ThunderStorm is a true hybrid 3D Freeride board that can still do Freestyle with ease. This board is part of our genderless collection and is available in a large array of lengths to accommodate riders of all sizes.

Flex
6.0
SoftStiff
Softer snowboards are easier to press and won't kick your ass if you make a mistake. Stiffer decks are more stable at speed and super responsive edge-to-edge. Choose your poison.
Features
SideKick™ builds on the concept of Triple Base by increasing the sidebase uplift just outside the widest points of the nose and tail. The tips become more like a hull, boosting float in deep snow and slicing through crud. It also helps the board to roll quickly and evenly from edge to edge.
Supertubes™ are hollow carbon cylinders that are inserted directly into the core. They reinforce the camber, reduce weight and greatly increase pop. By varying their location we can fine-tune the board’s performance further.
Construction
Tri-Ax Lamination
Our three-way fiberglass weave is light, strong and crazy responsive. We use this to beef up the flex pattern on our more aggressive boards.
Light Core
50/50 Paulownia and poplar creates a balanced core that’s lively yet strong.
Ultra Glide S
A premium, 7000-grade sintered base reserved for our high-end models. Packing more molecules into the P-tex means it’s super tough and hauls ass.
Solid Walls
We use tried and trusted ABS sidewalls for most of the collection. For the best flex to strength ratio.
D.S.T. SuperTubes
Dual Super Tubes, a Super Tube on either side of the board enhances pop and gives the camber more snap.
Carbon Stringers
Our tried and tested carbon layups. We deploy them in different areas to fine-tune the feel of each model.
+2 Backseat Inserts
Backseat inserts are an set of extra inserts 4cm behind the bottom inserts. This allows you to set your bindings all the way back, so you can keep floating on those deep pow days. By shifting your weight more back on the board the nose stays up and the pressure on you back leg is reduced.
