Ride the lightning.
The ThunderStorm is your go-to for high-energy resort action and powder thrills. A directional ride that has no problem going switch, making it a versatile hybrid 3D Freeride board that effortlessly handles Freestyle too. Part of our genderless collection, it comes in an array of lengths for riders of all sizes.
Park: 5/10
Resort: 9/10
Pow: 9/10
Flex
6/10
(1=Soft, 10=Stiff)
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.
Float Ratio
69/100
Maximum volume for surfy vibes in the pow, or a smaller surface area for nimble freestyle performance. This number is calculated with length, width, 3D shape and surface distribution.
Shape:
- Directional
On our more freeride orientated boards the center base is at its most narrow and the uplift is at its highest this creates unparalleled float in pow super fast edge-to-edge transitioning. - Low Camber
Camber profiles are defined from low to high. Higher camber make for more dynamic boards that need to be ridden more aggressively to get maximum performance. Lower camber boards are smoother on lower speeds and in powder. All camber profiles run from nose to tail. Higher is not always better... - 3BT™ + Sidekick™
Combining the responsiveness of traditional tip-to-tail camber with the dynamic shaping properties of Triple Base Technology and the performance boosting Sidekick feature makes for a 3D snowboarding experience like no other. - Nose Sidebase Uplift
High
The gradual side base uplift in the nose determines how the board will behave on snow. most effected are the edge to edge performance and the uplift generated when riding powder. - Tail Sidebase Uplift
Low
The gradual side base uplift in the tail determines how the board will behave on snow. Any amount of uplift brings all the benefits of Triple Base Technology making our boards more versatile then others.
Construction:
- Glassing
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. - Woodcore
Ultra Light Core
A 70/30 Paulownia and poplar blend that offers awesome strength to weight. - Base
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. - Layup & Laminate
Carbon Stringers
Our tried and tested carbon layups. We deploy them in different areas to fine-tune the feel of each model. - Topsheet
Step Down Rails Top 3D
This topsheet 3D effect features a slight taper of the deck along the top of the sidewall. This reduces the top-profile, saving weight and adding more precision to your carves. - Sidewalls
Flex Walls
Technology:
- Triple Base Technology™
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. - SideKick™
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. - D.S.T. SuperTubes
Dual Super Tubes, a Super Tube on either side of the board enhances pop and gives the camber more snap.
