Party Wave
Directional Freeride Snowboard
The Party Wave is everyone’s favorite fun board. Decades of experience with 3D shapes have enabled us to shift volume from length to width without sacrificing edge-to-edge performance.. It’s designed to be ridden 5-10 cm shorter than your regular deck. It’s a nimble and floaty pocket rocket that dials up the fun all over the mountain.

Terrain
Park
Resort
Pow
What’s this board’s natural home? Full send in the park? Elbows down on the trails? Or chucking roosters somewhere off grid?
Flex
4.0
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.
Float Ratio
85
Maximum volume for surfy vibes in the pow, or a smaller surface area for nimble freestyle performance. This number is calculated with length, width, 3D shape and surface distribution.
Outline Shape
Directional
On our more freeride orientated boards the center base is at its most narrow and the uplift is at its highest this creates unparalleled float in pow super fast edge-to-edge transitioning.
Nose Sidebase Uplift
High
The gradual side base uplift in the nose determines how the board will behave on snow. most effected are the edge to edge performance and the uplift generated when riding powder.
Tail Sidebase Uplift
Low
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 then others.
Camber Profile
Low Camber
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
3BT™ + Sidekick™
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.
Glassing
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.
Woodcore
Pop
Core
Our classic reliable full poplar woodcore.
Base
Hyper
Glide S
Our standard sintered base that’s durable and fast – and even faster when you keep it waxed.
Sidewalls
Solid Walls
Sidewall
We use tried and trusted ABS sidewalls for most of the collection. For the best flex to strength ratio.
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.

Customer Reviews
great for park too! for a person with big feet the best board for me so far
I bought the PW for powder days but I ended up ripping this board everyday. I'm 1'70m, 70kg and I went for the 148. I thought It wouldn't be as stable as my all-mountain main board at higher speeds but I'm absolutely impressed on how it performs. You can't go wrong with the PW.
Also Bataleon has the best customer service and the shipping was pretty fast!
Really fun board to ride. Been riding 3BT for a handful of years so really easy getting used to this new shape.
The Party Wave is super floaty and surfs through pow, it is soo much fun. It even holds its edge quite well on groomers, but pow is definitely where it excels.
I was riding a Nitro Banker before this. Which I liked, but it didn’t float well enough in powder. Moving to the Party Wave plus, I’ve noticed that it floats way better. This new board is wider than I’m used to, but still felt pretty flickable in the trees. It feels extremely stable and rider friendly.
My party wave + came in and it looks amazing. Quality is there, looks are there, feel is there, the board rides exactly how I expected it to. Enough edge to carve up the hill side yet floaty at the same time. An all around good time.
