HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUSTIN
30 Aug 2010
Posted by Larrogs
"When you have a birthday at the end of august, good powder day is pretty much the best present ever" To get that present you would have to goto either Chili or NZ. Justin had a good party at Treble Cone with 30cm with Ozzie mates Damon Hayler, Nate Johnstone, Chumpy, and Big Ben Wordsworth and some italian dude where he got to blow out his candles with back to back sprays.

Check out the Drunkin' Tuna graphics by Canadian teamshred Brendan Keenan. Some serious cut and paste skills! Brendan restored a surfboard from the 80's last week, fixed up a few dings and a fiberglass delamination, then finished her off with this custom paint job.
Hang Loose For It!
featured board
we got sick and tired of people asking us when we would put some rocker on our boards so we put it on there!
Of course it just says rocker... Who needs rocker when you got TBT?
Fun.Kink US Edition
is a sick park jib board with some extra flex and a centered extra wide stance

i am loving the nz edition buzzy bee board (goliath) going from my neanderthal plank of wood to this has improved mt riding tenfold! highly recommend bataleon! tbt is the s@#t

I am in love with an inanimate object!!! Took out my 2011 The Jam yesterday, and I will never ride another board. Took one or two runs to get used to and after that my speed and confidence were through the roof!
Edge to edge is super fast and the response of the board is amazing.
I bought it because it's pretty, (and it is pretty!) and now I love it because it's effing unbelivable...

I love my distortia, all my friends want to steal it, 'cause its soooo pretty. And on the techie side i've ridden park, jibbed about and most amusingly for a 147 managed to ride 2 foot deep pow, the triple base definitely helps the float, even for a fun board!!!

Stuck My Bataleon Decals on today.... Also, Lets annoy skiiers next year as much as we can- Especcialy freeskiiers- OK guys? We Need Shaun White or Tyler Chorlton to say at a media conference that Skiing is crap... Good idea or wat? hahaha

Hey! Kansas City here, moving to Denver, needed a new stick. Looked at all sorts of camber/rocker, came across Bataleon and fell in love. So simple. So perfect. Can not WAIT to ride my 2010 Project Green! Heck, I can't even wait to get it delivered and I'm in the middle of a heat wave!

Just ordered the Jam and can't wait to ride it. You guys need a shop in the Reno Tahoe area though!

Hi all, I have been riding a Bataleon TBT for the last few years and Its definitely the best board iv ridden, it a shame rental shops dont hire out these boards so more people could see how much difference the TBT makes.
Cheers Bataleon, You've got me hook on TBT
18/07/2010 - Paul WM
Just picked up my 2011 Jam, just love that TBT thing. I think for me this sums up the difference between TBT and flat boards. Flat boards are like cars they move on 4 points like a car. No matter how flash they are they all handle very similar and tun in the same way. TBT rides more like a motorbike the weight is in the centre and you can flick it edge to edge real quick, lead it over hard and it just bites. The Jam is so responsive the more you push it the better the ride. I find myself hitting every thing faster and harder just coz I love the pop :)

I have never ridden anything like it, my first ever board was a &#&t0n C*nd$m which apparantly doesn't catch edges, thats not the case, i sprained my wrist because it did catch a wrist, luckily the graphic started peeling and i sent it back to &#&t0n and they have me a store credit, after talking to one of Bataleon's riders Matty, he gave me a Bataleon demo, and i was blown away. I only had 2 runs on it and thats all it took to buy. I bought a Bataleon 153 Fun Kink, it is the most playful fun board I have ever ridden, you get amazing pop, you CAN'T catch an edge, its really flexible and is super light. I have never ridden a board that will actually bounce ur board off an edge.
For me there is no other company in the way of boards,I love my Bataleon Fun Kink and will never ride another brand. Thanks Bataleon
Yea For it! :)
08/07/2010 - Onno
Damn, been riding the good stuff for a couple of years now, last week I had to rent a board (no tbt) and man I missed my goliath! Waiting for the winter now, so I can ride again. YEAH for that!
