The Men’s Disaster is a best-seller year after year. We do not have a chef on staff, but we believe that the special sauce is in the freestyle-focused features working together in perfect harmony. A true-twin shape, our patented 3D base flavoring, SideKick™ technology, a relaxed positive camber, and a jib-friendly soft flex are blended to make a perfect freestyle concoction for the beginner to advanced snowboarder.
Terrain
What's this board's natural home?
Full send in the park?
Elbows down on the trails?
Or chucking roosters somewhere off grid?
Flex
2.0
SoftStiff
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. Choose your poison.
Outline Shape
Nose Sidebase Uplift
The gradual side base uplift in the nose determines how the board will behave on snow. Most affected are the edge to edge performance and the uplift generated when riding powder.
Tail Sidebase Uplift
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 than others.
Camber Profile
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...
3D Shape
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.
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™ 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.
Bi-Ax Lamination
A traditional two-way weave that is light, strong and playful; it keeps the board snappy without adding torsional stiffness, which is great for getting creative.
Core Core
Full poplar with hardwood beech stringers to strengthen the boards backbone, reinforce the inserts and increase pop.
Hyper Glide S
Our standard sintruded base that’s durable and fast – and even faster when you keep it waxed.
Flex Walls
Our Urethane Poured Sidewalls offer exceptional shock absorption, reducing chatter and vibration for a smoother, more stable ride. Flexwalls provide flexibility and resilience, allowing the board to maintain its integrity even in extreme conditions. With superior impact resistance, they ensure your snowboard performs at its peak, season after season.
24 Inserts
A-grade German stainless steel inserts make sure you are locked to your board. These high quality inserts can take years of binding stance switches.

Great board, super light and flexible I bought it just for ground tricks after doing a lot of research and testing some boards I was very impressed by it. 💯
Super fun board, very flexy flexy, forgiving and an attention-getter. Everyone loves this thing. Very light. This is my first true camber board and I can press it as well as my old v-rocker Joystick. I paired it with Union Flight Pro bindings and I'm a happy camper.
The top sheet and base plate are separated without any hit.
Not only does this board rip on freestyle terrain, it rips on groomers pow and chop too! Such a flexy noodle it allows easy presses and a big snap for pop. Absolutely lovely. 10/10
Great design. Bought it fot my birthday in june. Can't wait to take my board for some park runs. 🤘
Great board with crazy flex
Good Quality very good service
Got jut one day yet on the Disaster this year and man.. what a fun board. Super surfy and catch free. I feel like I wasted years trying to find this exact snowboard. So fun, playful and pressable! Not gonna lie, my other boards will probably collect dust next season. I’m stoked !
Super flexy and playfull
Also ich hab mir dieses Board geholt weil ich mal ein weiches Board ausprobieren wollte und es hat alle Überwartungen übertroffen es ist super verspielt und es macht riesig spaß mein neues lieblings Board auserdem kann man eigentlich nicht verkanten was nochmal ein riesiger pluspunkt ist.
Amazing board!
Super soft and fun board. The 3BT shape on the top and tail are hardly noticeable when riding normally but they make a huge difference when pressing. Awesome board. Super versatile and fun
Super fun, soft buttery board, This thing is like a cheat code! Great for park. I would recommend something stiffer for all-mtn or larger park jumps. Love the 3BT, should have gotten one of these years ago!
A bit too soft for me.. no pop!
This board is absolutely beautiful 10/10
If you’re looking for a playful snowboard it’s this one ! Super flexible and its top sheet and base graphics are sick kinda got it at the end of my season!! Can’t wait to start next season off with it
I ordered this board. However when I recieved the package, inside was a kids surfer 132 invoiced for someone in Quebec. Really want a response from Bataleon. I want the board I paid for not the 300$ kids board I recieved
Brand new board, top sheet splintered first lap.
Overall unimpressed with the quality of the board.
Warranty department is useless and says it’s not warranty, despite the top sheet failing on its maiden voyage. They are not willing to rectify the situation either.
Do not buy this board if you value build quality.
0/5 for the board and 0/5 for the customer service.
I’ve been riding for over 25 years. The last 15+ on the same snowboard (Sims FS600). It was a great board and I loved it. This year I decided to go new and wanted something with flex and tech to make buttering smoother. I chose the Bataleon Disaster and OMG I can’t / won’t go back. This thing does everything I wanted and more. Makes for a super smooth style on the hill and even holds fine in tight hard carving.
Very happy with this purchase
Usually ride directional twins on the stiffer side. Wanted a true twin on the flexy side to adventure into the butter and jib worlds. Usually ride 163w (I’m 6’3 200 lbs) and got a 156w. The low camber is poppy but forgiving. And despite it being super flexy, holds a sharp edge and still cruises at speed. Different at first but once I got used to it it’s INCREDIBLE. Totally recommend it !
beyond everything I expected
I can't even begin to tell you how much fun this board is
The Disaster is simply amazing. The 3BT shape allowes you to be creative as much as you want without the fear of catching an edge, especially for the butter tricks and ollies this board is made for it.
Super happy to have it! Thank you Bataleon
I cant say enough good things about the Disaster. Been riding the 2021 model for some time now and it is holding up and performing like the day I bought it
Like me, the package came quicker than expected!
I purchased the regular disaster 2023 and discovered how much fun Bataleon brand is so I had to get the disaster + just to have a little more stiffness at high speeds .. I’m 5’6”135lb ride 148 .. Been snowboarding for 20+ years wish would tried these boards a long time ago .. It’s amazing how effortlessly these boards float n turn and you don’t have to worry about catching edges.. I’m Hooked
After renting snowboard gear for nearly 10 years, I finally committed to finally buying my own setup last year, my only regret is that I didn't shell out the money sooner. The silver lining is that I ended up buying a 2023 Disaster that checked all my boxes - aesthetics, conducive to my riding style and quality. Customer service is super helpful too, had one of my foam pads stolen at Big Bear during lunch and got that replaced with a rep.
Disaster
I been wanting a fun flexible board since my riding consist of butters and some jibs. This board is so soft, but is so much fun. 3BT technology is amazing. Not having to worry about catching an edge while spinning around.
This board is not meant for going fast. It can carve decently, but it requires using a lot of force.
With this purchase I will be looking for an all mountain board to carve on. I already know which Bataleon board I'm going to get.
The Bataleon Disaster Snowboard is my absolute favorite for park riding. Due to its soft flex and playful feel it is incredibly fun for jibbing and gives confidence to hit new features. This board is forgiving, making it great for me to play around . I've had some of my most memorable sessions on this board—it just encourages you to push your limits. Despite its focus on freestyle, it also handles surprisingly well on general runs and it feels great to race down your ski homies. Shred on!
I got this board because I wanted a fun board and saw the reviews. What a purchase! It just felt like it was a part of me as a rode. O felt like I could do anything. It was bumpier as I rode fast down a hill, but at no point did I feel out of control. Love it!
Disaster+
Now I’m no expert rider but this thing is soft but springy at the same time, butters and jibs with ease, then go throw down some all mountain features. Versatility is the boards name.
The disaster twin board is a really good board. It slides amazing dow the mountain and is very nice for freestyle.
