Bataleon The Surfer 159

Bataloha!

If you're standing on the steep and rocky shore of a white powdery ocean and you freeze your ... off because you're standing only in your boardshorts, then you totally understood the Bataleon Surfer. Couple of years ago Bataleon created a surfboard based on the model of a snowboard - now they do it the exact opposite way. The Surfer brings a unique surf feeling directly from the beach to the powder.

Riding Style
The Surfer is a dedicated powder board. Steep untouched lines, high speeds and nipple deep snow are its favourites. But this board is so awesome, you can even carve on-piste without getting in trouble.

Shape
A unique board needs a unique shape, and here's the Pow 3BT. The Surfer has a directional shape with a light taper and a massive swallowtail. Setback inserts provide additional surfy riding. The new SideKick Tips increase the edge uplift on the widest points of nose and tail for easier turn initiation, more float and better handling in rough terrain.

Profile
Pow 3BT has the narrowest centerbase in the range. The sidebases of the tip are uplifted much higher than those of the tail. The Medium Camber allows plenty of edge hold and carving fun despite all that floatiness.

Flex
The Surfer's flex is rather medium to soft. The unique and powerful Pow 3BT shape allows you to ride a powder board slightly softer than most of the comparable boards out there.

Construction
A poplar and paulownia wood core is additionally reinforced with tri-axial fiberglass. This means massive pop and more edgehold and stability. The carbon stringers from the binding area towards nose and tail provide a precise power transmission and aggressiveness. The sintered Hyper Glide S base is hard and fast, but wax it good!

Snowboard er ofte levert klart til bruk med en vokset base og skarpe kanter. Likevel, "factory tuning" er ikke så veldig holdbar og ditt nye snowboard bør bli ordentlig vokset etter et par dager og vedlikeholdt.
