It combines the versatile, freestyle roots of the Whatever with the power and precision of the Goliath, forming a directional twin built for aggressive all-mountain riding with a stylish, freestyle-inspired twist. From high-speed carves to side hits and creative lines, the Tornado is made for riders who demand control without giving up personality.

Camber Profile
- 3BT™ Medium Camber – Offers powerful edge hold and energy through the center of the board, while the lifted sidebases increase forgiveness and float.
- Triple Base Technology™ (3BT) – Bataleon’s 3D shaping reduces edge catch and enhances edge-to-edge flow, making carving and powder riding smoother and more forgiving.
- SideKick™ – Adds extra uplift at the nose and tail contact points for improved float and easier transitions in varied terrain.
- Low Nose / Low Tail Uplift – Keeps the ride reactive and grounded for high-speed control and solid edge engagement.
Flex
- 7/10 (Stiff) – A responsive flex tuned for aggressive all-mountain riders who demand precision, power, and control.
Shape
- Directional Twin – A twin sidecut and flex profile with a slightly set-back stance for added drive and float, without compromising freestyle versatility.
Core
- Ultra Light Core – A 70/30 blend of Paulownia and Poplar creates a lightweight, durable platform with excellent pop and a smooth flex pattern.
- Dual Radial SuperTubes™ – Six hollow carbon tubes placed along the sidecut radius to increase pop, power transfer, and energy return without adding weight.
Laminates
- Triax Fiberglass – A performance-oriented layup that delivers enhanced torsional control and stability.
- Carbon Stringers – Reinforcements placed to maximize pop, response, and rebound without increasing weight.
Base
