Bataleon

The Carver 2021

With a name like that, you probably think you know what you're getting into with the Bataleon The Carver Snowboard. But you're not quite right. This isn't just some niche board for hardboot maniacs who want to touch their forehead to the groomer on every toe side turn, although those guys will definitely love it. By utilizing their signature Triple Base Technology, Balateon has managed to create an insanely fast hardpack ripper with a wider waist and smooth edge to edge transitions that's a ton of fun in powder and big mountain terrain as well. But man can it lay down a mean carve.
