If you head for the trees when the snow starts falling, the Bataleon Party Wave is the maneuverable pow stick you need in your quiver. The short, volume-shifted shape whips around obstacles with ease and the 3BT™ uplifted sidebases and narrow centerbase make edge-to-edge transitions even easier. The setback stance and slight swallowtail keep your nose out of the deep stuff but the wider shape also lets you throw some hard carves on the groomers for a shreddy fiesta in any conditions.
Rocker Type
Low Camber
3BT™ (Triple Base Technology) with SideKick™ – All Bataleon boards feature tip to tail positive camber in combination with lifted sidebase contact points. SideKick™ Tips enhance 3BT’s advantages like nothing you experienced before by dramatically increasing the sidebase uplift at the widest points of the nose and tail. This makes turn initiation even smoother, increases float in powder and handling of the board in rough terrain.
Flex
Flex Rating – 4 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Core
Pop Core – 100% poplar – traditional core design that draws on the strong, springy qualities of this mid-hard wood from tip to tail.
Laminates
Biax Laminate – Bataleon's traditional and time tested two-way weave of fiberglass is light, strong and responsive; keeping the board snappy without adding torsional stiffness.
Sidewalls
Solid Walls – Tried and trusted ABS sidewalls for the best flex to strength ratio.
Base
Hyper Glide S – Bataleon's standard sintered base that’s durable and fast – and even faster when you keep it waxed.
How it works
Triple Base Technology™ is not one shape but a design philosophy. The precise areas in which we apply a three-dimensional profile, the amount of uplift and the width of the centerbase varies on each model depending on the kind of terrain it needs to excel in.
Flat Base Riding
The widest section of the board is lifted off the snow while riding flat based. This allows you to ride straight without hooking up or needing to keep your edges engaged.
Turn Initiation
When set on a slight angle, the sidebase starts to engage near the bindings. Unlike traditional flat boards, pressure remains constant along the contact edge.
On Edge
While on edge, the 3D shaped side-cut forms a complete arc with the snow, offering unparalleled grip and turning power.
