2026 Bataleon Party Wave Snowboard
The 2026 Bataleon Party Wave is a volume-shifted, powder-hungry board built for fun-loving riders who want to slash, surf, and carve their way down the whole mountain. Shorter and wider than your average deck, it delivers maximum float and control without extra length, thanks to its directional shape, wide nose, and stubby tail. The 3BT™ Medium Camber profile with SideKick™ uplifts makes for smooth transitions, while the responsive flex keeps it poppy and stable no matter the terrain. Whether you're threading trees, railing groomers, or laying into deep turns on a storm day, the Party Wave lives up to its name—bringing the good times everywhere it goes.
Bataleon recommends sizing down 5–10 cm from your standard all-mountain board.
Who is this board best for?
Riders who want a nimble, floaty, all-terrain board with a surf-inspired feel and a playful personality—perfect for powder, trees, and carving.
