I bought my first Bataleon being super curious about 3bt tech and the overall shape of the board. In my Snowboard group in Portugal we have more than a few CAPiTA die hard fans (rightfully so) and most of them were somewhat suspicious about Bataleon and 3bt, none of them had ever seen anything related to Bataleon. I can honestly say I am more than happy to have made my research and about my decision to try something different and new, to give a brand that was until then unknown to me as well, a chance. The board feels super light and flexible without being mushy (it has some pop and is easy to load) it responds quickly and it's more than capable in light carving. If there's something I would point out is that the top coat feels a bit too soft and prone to damage, I mean, who doesn't hate the feeling of those first dings showing up on your new board?

In any case, it won't be my last Bataleon board, and probably not the only one in my group.

Just got the new Fun.Kink as my first new board in 20+ years (previously rode Burton Shaun White) and the thing absolutely blew me away. I figured there would be some kind of adjustment period as I’ve never ridden a non-traditional shaped board before…. Nope!! It instantly felt like the best riding snowboard I’ve ever experienced, has a nice amount of flex and pop, and handled all of the super fast strait bombing runs I could throw at it. Never caught an edge…. Love the new technology

Great board! I love the mid flex and the graphic is sick as f#%k! It’s my first new board in 20 years and I’m glad I made the choice to pick one up.

The fun.kink was the perfect board for me (just getting back into boarding after 12 years). It’s so soft but has just enough stability to get you through those icy patches.

3BT is the truth! Named very appropriately. So. much. fun.
