With this board you’ll be destroying urban spots like crack in the 80’s. Introduced to the line last season and instantly a team favourite. The extra wide JIB TBT gives you stability when you need it, like locking into presses. It has our super flexible and durable Tough Core with Hammer Edges . All that and still this is the most affordable board in the line. TM

DISASTER GULLI EDITION

Hailing from Iceland, the man, the myth with the unpronounceable last name: Gulli Gudmundsson. Destroyer of urban spots, the double G, the man not to play games of shred or skate with. Here with his own custom graphic on the board he loves most when it comes to hitting the streets.

AIROBIC

We know what you think about when you’re all alone. ...Snowboarding. And we know what you need for your habit. You need a board that works just as well hitting that rail that’s walkable from your apartment as it does lapping the park at your local hill. The Airobic was made to do all that. True twin shape based on PARK TBT with a wide center base to stable out your slides, presses and landings. Perfect soft park flex that makes this board super playful without getting too noodley. TM

GLOBAL WARMER

The G.W. aka Global Warmer is not a ‘Green’ board. It even has added carbon which is bad for nature but sure increases your pop. Is taking a fractional amount of sustainable materials and sandwiching it between plastic with a pot of glue really green though? A top-shelf park board with all of the tech yet it comes in a softer flex. Just be sure to carpool to the hill.

The most tech of all our true twins. Triax glass, Core Core and basalt stringers make this board more poppy than an opium farm in the South Pacific. This board can handle any and every line in the park. Ridden by the team when they want to keep smiling even if things get serious. The Riot is built on TWIN TBT and it packs the ultimate blend of performance, pop and stability. Point it, stick it, Yeah for it! TM

Seriously! What are you expecting to read here? This board has FREESTYLE TBT with a softer twin flex and true twin shape. And you know that only TBT offers you the unique combo of camber and reversed camber. Or if you wanna talk fruit; it’s like having two banana’s with a reversed banana in the middle. Super forgiving but it’s still got pop! Who wants a banana when you can have TBT ?

WHATEVER

If we had to describe what this board is good for in one word it would be: ‘whatever’. And we mean that in a good way. It just works for any kind of conditions, terrain or riding style. You know when someone asks you what music you listen to and you say “Depends on what mood I am in”? It’s kinda like that.

The Jam is the board for you. ALLMTN TBT enables lightning edge to edge combined with solid edge grip and enhanced powder float. This is the go to board for those who are serious about riding the whole mountain hard and fast from first to last chair.

When riding on an edge, the camber is fully loaded with pop ready to power you into your next turn and the Triple Base shape ensures that the whole edge gets engaged as soon as the new turn is initiated. This results in an even weight distribution along the full contact length of the edge, which makes for the smoothest carving in history. 100% SMOOTH EDGE CONTROL WHEN YOU NEED IT.

FLYER

The FLYER is meant for all kinds of snowboarding and riders of all ability levels. Whether you cruise park and piste with your buddies or take on big mountain riding and fearsome backcountry kickers, the FLYER can tackle it all. Built around the VERYLIGHT CORE: A poplar wood core, which is enhanced with Paulowina wood. This makes the core super light but it remains strong enough to beat all of our break tests. We gave the core a mid flex and used core profiling to produce a flex pattern that is slightly softer outside the bindings than between them. The core is wrapped in BI-AX laminate layers. These are aligned along the board’s length and between its edges above and below the core. They create an easy and forgiving flex that permits you to directly feel the snow under your feet. BI-AX laminate layers do not increase torsional stiffness so the FLYER has a mid flex along its length, whilst remaining torsionally soft. This allows it to be super responsive, charge at high speeds and give very stable landings, all without sacrificing its forgiving nature. We also added some extra layups: V-shaped carbon stringers on the nose and tail connect their centres to the heel and toe edges under the bindings. These further increase torsional stiffness outside of the bindings as well as storing extra elastic energy and focusing it right on the very back centre of the board when ollieing. The further back the pivot point of the ollie, the more elastic energy can be loaded into the tail and the higher the resulting pop! We also included cork

stringers that run the full length of the board, between the inserts and the edges. These dampen vibrations and help to distribute power along the edge evenly. This is especially useful at high speeds and during icy traverses when cork reduces edge chatter and twitchiness. The result is a board with a mid flex, both torsionally and along its length that is as solid and stable as a much stiffer board. FREESTYLE TBT is the most versatile of the TBT profiles. The centre base (non TBT) section features a traditional camber profile and has a medium width to balance edge-to-edge agility with flat base stability. The side base TBT uplift begins outside the bindings to give a longer contact length between your feet (without TBT). This improves stability when sliding on a flat base. FREESTYLE TBT is symmetrical about the nose and tail for equal performance when riding switch as forwards so it represents a ‘good for everything’ shape: Fast and forgiving edge-to-edge looseness as well as great overall stability. The FLYER features a true twin contact shape, FREESTYLE TBT and a centred stance. This makes it feel generally just like a twin. However, the nose of a FLYER is 1 cm longer than its tail, with the 1cm being added to the tip region that never touches the snow. The extra length includes transitioned TBT, which lifts the tip even further, making the extra length feel a whole lot longer and improving float. So when you find yourself crashing through a trashed powder field, a bombed out landing or cruddy spring snow, a FLYER won’t let you down.

The FLYER features LIGHTNING EDGES, which are our lighter and thinner edges and give your carves more feeling and precision. The inserts are centred and have a PARTY PATTERN: 24 holes give the largest range of possible stance widths and ultimate control over the exact binding positions. We also included BACKSEAT INSERTS so you can drop your bindings all the way back on those bottomless days. This puts weight automatically over your back foot, reducing back leg burn and increasing float. Finally, the FLYER has a sintered base for maximum hardness and higher top speeds. The graphics are classic and simple. A matte and gloss black topsheet and a black base with transparent sections that allow you to see the core. The FLYER is intended for all round riders who always aim for powder when it is available, but who are happy to ride the rest of the hill when it is not. One board for riding everything: From park and groomers to backcountry kickers and open faces.

NORTH

The NORTH is a freeride cruiser that can step it up to handle even the gnarliest terrain. It also has an all new very special feature: The ‘split’ option! The NORTH is constructed around the VERYLIGHT CORE: A poplar wood core that is enhanced with Paulowina wood to make it super light but allow it to remain tough as hell. It stood up to every single one of our break tests. We gave the core a soft-mid flex and used core profiling to produce a flex pattern that is slightly softer outside the bindings than between them. The core is wrapped in TRI-AX laminate layers. Two layers are aligned at 45 degrees to the edges, while the third runs the length of the board from tip to tail. The addition of the third axis increases torsional stiffness and responsiveness as well as further enhancing high-speed stability. We also added some extra layups. Two straight carbon stringers run the full length of the contact edges, joining the board’s widest points. These add nothing to a NORTH’s torsional stiffness but increase stiffness along the length to an overall mid flex. When combined with the TRI-AX laminates, the result is a board that has a mid flex both along its length and torsionally. The NORTH remains lighter than a normal board of the same spec because we can use a thinner core without sacrificing strength thanks to the carbon reinforcements. In addition, the carbon strips store up extra elastic energy, which delivers big pop and they contribute to an even power delivery along the full contact edge. We also added two cork stringers that run the full length of the board between the inserts and the edges. These dampen vibrations along the edges, especially useful at high speeds and during traverses, when the edges of a NORTH are far less likely to twitch or chatter.

Finally, the NORTH includes a 2 cm wide strip of bamboo down the very centre of the board. Bamboo is very strong, flexible, has good return and is a renewable material. The bamboo contributes towards making the NORTH super poppy, but it has another use! You can split your NORTH for touring! There’s nothing new in splitting a board, but when you split the bamboo strip in the centre of the board, the near perfect alignment of bamboo fibers along the length of the board ensures that the newly revealed sidewalls remain impervious to water without needing further treatment! This means you can split your board as soon as you get it or ride it as normal for sometime and then split it! This offers the best of both worlds for anyone interested in trying a split board without wanting to take the hit on a ready prepared one or wanting to D.I.Y. it! The FREERIDE TBT used on the NORTH has a narrow centre base (non TBT) section, giving it a high total upturn at its widest points. The result is even better float in powder as well as more agile carving. FREERIDE TBT is also directionally optimized, with the length of the TBT sections offset by the same amount as the stance. The nose side base sections also feature larger angles to further enhance the TBT by creating super floating powder wings! The centre flat section is set back in line with the stance and the tail TBT is shorter and shallower. The total width of the tail is also a couple of millimeters narrower than the nose. This produces a ‘gas pedal’ effect, where the board powers through and accelerates out of turns! While this is hardly noticeable for general riding (the NORTH is still excellent for riding switch), it becomes very noticeable when cranking a turn in powder, as the ‘gas pedal’ ensures a larger powder cloud that makes you look like a freeride superstar!

The NORTH features a 2 cm setback stance as standard that accommodates the longer nose TBT section, a precise insert pattern with 20 inserts for a good range and maximum precision on binding placement, together with optional backseat inserts so you can put your bindings all the way back on those bottomless days. This puts most weight automatically over your back foot, reducing back leg burn and increasing float. The NORTH is directional in both contact and outline shapes and optimized for backcountry riding. The construction is completed by LIGHTNING EDGES; our lighter and thinner edges that enable you to carve with more feeling and better precision. We also included a sintered base, to give the highest possible top speeds. The design remains a simple combination of matte and gloss black on the top sheet, but now splitting the board in half lengthways along the bamboo strip. The base graphic is likewise split in half along the boards length with one half being black and the other being a sweet full colour, photo real image, featuring artwork by Taka Sudo. Very eye catching! The NORTH is great for all types of riding: Just fine for cruising with friends, but take one to the backcountry and this board will really come into its own when things get deeper, steeper and more full on!

SHAKA

The SHAKA is intended to be a fun to ride powder board that gives an amazing ride in any backcountry terrain, from the tightest trees to the steepest face and makes backcountry riding less effort and more enjoyable. It also has a super special feature to make it twice the board! The SHAKA is constructed around the VERYLIGHT CORE: A poplar wood core enhanced with Paulowina wood strips. These make it super light but allow it to remain strong enough to beat all of our break tests. We gave the core a mid flex and used core profiling to produce a flex pattern that is slightly softer outside the bindings than between them. The core is wrapped in TRI-AX laminate layers. Two layers are aligned at 45 degrees to the edges, while the third runs the length of the board from tip to tail. The addition of the third axis increases torsional stiffness and responsiveness as well as further enhancing high-speed stability. When combined with its unique shape, this construction is just perfect for shredding in any powdery conditions! The SHAKA employs POW TBT. This is TBT maxed out for full on powder surfing! The narrowest centre base (non TBT) section gives the widest TBT powder wings. Add in extreme side base angles on the nose section and the total TBT uplift is huge, making the nose practically impossible to submarine! The nose and tail side base TBTs are set back in line with the stance, making the nose side base longer and the tail side base shorter. The tail features a sweet cut back shape that gives maximum rooster tails! The stubby tail and a set back stance move the centre flat section to backwards, putting more weight over your back foot. Because of the shorter side base length on the tail, its TBT is shorter, but we also made the uplift angle shallower. The total width of a SHAKA’s tail is a couple of millimeters narrower than its nose. These design features all work together to

produce a ‘gas pedal’ effect: The SHAKA powers through and accelerates out of turns, throwing up a shitload of snow! We also added some extra layups. Two V-shapes of carbon strips connect the toe and heel edges at the nose and tail with the centre of the board under the bindings. On the tail this magnifies the ‘gas pedal’ effect as well as storing extra elastic energy to enhance pop and reinforcing the tail in general. At the front they distribute any forces more evenly across the nose and stop it from becoming twitchy at high speeds. We also included two cork stringers that run the full length of the board between the inserts and the edges. These dampen vibrations along the edges, which is especially useful at high speeds and during icy traverses. Finally, the SHAKA includes a 2 cm wide strip of bamboo down the very centre of the board. Bamboo is very strong, flexible, has good return and is a renewable material. The bamboo makes the SHAKA more poppy than a ‘methed out’ panda, but it has another use! You can now split your board! There’s nothing new in splitting a board, but when you split the bamboo strip in the centre of a SHAKA, the near perfect alignment of the bamboo fibers along the length of the board ensures that the newly revealed sidewalls remain impervious to water without needing further treatment! This makes splitting your board easier than ever and means you can do it as soon as you get it or ride it normally for sometime and split it later! This offers the best of both worlds for anyone interested in trying a split board without wanting to take the hit on a ready prepared one or wanting to D.I.Y. it!

A 2 cm setback stance and crazy TBT shape and angles allow you to ride the SHAKA much shorter and softer than you would ride any other powder board. The ‘spoon’ nose floats like a much longer and stiffer board through even the deepest powder, making it great for riding big mountain lines. The short, cut back tail can turn tightly like a much shorter board, which is great through tight trees. These effects work together to ensure that every turn will put the most snow possible into the air to leave you feeling like the man! Powder riding will be even more fun! The construction is completed with LIGHTNING EDGES; our lighter and thinner edges that allow you to carve with more feeling and precision, together with an extruded base for easy repairs. The inserts have a PARTY PATTERN of 24 holes, giving the most stance options possible: Maximum precision of placement over the widest possible range of stance widths. We also added optional backseat inserts so you can put your bindings all the way back on those bottomless days. This puts most of your weight automatically over your back foot, reducing back leg burn and further increasing float. The graphics are minimal, featuring a burst of colour and a transparent section on the top sheet and a black base. The SHAKA lets you ride bottomless powder all day with minimal back leg burn and turns on a sixpence during tree runs. It floats so well that you will be able to cover more of the flat on the ride out than any of your friends, leaving less distance to wade! Enjoy your best ever powder day on a SHAKA.

TECH

HELMET HOODINI™

With the tragic events of the past few years, helmeted snowboarders are fast becoming ubiquitous. Even low-profile helmets add a few centimeters onto the size of your head and most hoods are simply not designed to accommodate this. The result is a head that looks like a bubble from behind and a tight-fitting collar that gets all twisted up. We widened the hood so that it comfortably covers a helmet, but we also widened the collar, giving the hood the ability to turn with your head and helmet without garroting you. Now you can finally ride in a helmet without looking like an idiot! Of course the hood is fully adjustable and so can be easily fitted to an un-helmeted head using the drawstrings.

BAT PITS™

We paid attention to our tailoring and seams in order to achieve cuts that are optimized for shredding. Of course, looking good is also important, but what’s the good of looking smart if your jacket doesn’t work for snowboarding in? Snowboarding involves lots of moving and twisting. Badly cut jackets get left behind, becoming tangled and riding up. Bataleon jackets are cut so that they allow you to raise your arm all the way above your head, without the hem rising above your waist. Now you can tweak that method all the way without having to sort your jacket out on the ride out. Don’t get robbed of your afterbang with Bataleon outerwear.

FREE ZIPS™

PANT ELEVATOR™

Every rider knows how much it sucks when your vent zips get stuck open on a cold windy chairlift. So we fixed that. Our zips work every time, don’t get stuck and can even be operated one handed. Get us!

Hidden in the cargo pockets you will find an elastic cord to control the PANT ELEVATOR. Pull this to lift the back of you pants up. Now you dont destroy your pants when walking.

MIDAS PANT COLOR OPTIONS

Our MIDAS PANT is more of a ‘classic’ snowboard pant. The fit is slightly more relaxed and the construction slightly more tech than the LIMA PANT. The more relaxed style fits easily over your boot, without being too baggy. However, they can be made super baggy for the OGs out there by sizing in XL. The cut accommodates generous pockets on the legs together with four large pockets in the usual places: two zipped on the front and two with popper closures on the back. With embossed leather branding, an inside lace belt and chunky belt loops on the waistline, targeted insulation and double layer reinforcement in critical areas. The MIDAS PANT looks great, comes with plenty of pocket space and can offer you comfort even in tough conditions. The MIDAS PANT is styled to go with the BALDER JACKET.

The look of the DORA JACKET varies with size. The jacket is cut to a length that covers the waistline of your pants even when the jacket is close fitting. This allows you to go a size down from that which you normally wear for a close fit that still works. Go a size up to get the ‘tall look’ of a longer jacket that is still more fitted than your average baggy jacket. Or stick to your normal size to achieve a fit so nice you would wear the jacket to town

LIMA PANT COLOR OPTIONS

The LIMA PANT is functional and casual. Fully teched out, but styled on straight cut jeans. The leg is cut straight from the ankle to the crotch and is designed to snugly fit over your boot without having to resort to the dreaded ‘boot cut’ style. A classic five pocket design with an embossed leather patch at the waist, chunky belt loops and an inside lace belt complete the ‘jeans’ styling. Of course, like jeans, the look can be personalized by size with emos rocking XS and gangstas in XLs.
