This thing rips....I wanted to give 4.5 out of 5...Bataleon don't rest!...Had 21-22 (white with orange outline) now have 24-25 model. Holds a great edge. Tail feels stiffer but pop feels about the same. I kinda miss the older style tail slapping slush up in the air like annoying skiers...haha. Torsional flex is sick...dialed...This new re-design rides well with a bit better shock absorption. Please improve the longitudinal flex and dampening. Maybe increase the swallow cutout some more or decrease the "hull" length. Overall a great ride.

I rode this on a 35cm blue bird powder day and I can't say enough good things about it. Floated through pow and charged through chunder like nothing. Turns were very flowey and the board wanted to land perfectly off of every side hit and jump I took. Groomers she's pretty stable and rips down no problem. Very happy with this board and I'm sure the new gen is just as good if not better

First day out on it. She goes hard. Great board in deep pow, choppy tracks and groomers

Beautifully constructed board. Looking forward to getting some days out on it. It’s going to be a great season

Ugh, so disappointed with the new Bataleon Surfer. 😩 The build quality just isn't there anymore. Remember when their boards used to be indestructible? Feels like they really dropped the ball on durability this time. Such a bummer because this board really rips, but I have some concerns about how it'll hold up over time. The performance is there, but the build quality feels a little questionable. Hoping to see some improvements in future versions! Overall, it's a fun ride, just not sure about the longevity. Fingers crossed for some more robust construction down the line!
