BATALEON ThunderStorm Snowboard 2026

The ThunderStorm is your go-to for high-energy resort action and powder thrills. A directional ride that has no problem going switch, making it a versatile hybrid 3D Freeride board that effortlessly handles Freestyle too. Part of our Unisex collection, it comes in an array of lengths for riders of all sizes.

Flex: 6/10

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.

High Nose and Medium Tail 3BT+Sidekick - 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. 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.

Bend: 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...

Core: Ultra Light Core - A 70/30 Paulownia and poplar blend that offers awesome strength to weight.

Fiberglass: Tri-Ax Laminates - Our three-way fiberglass weave is light, strong and crazy responsive. We use this to beef up the flex pattern on our more aggressive boards.

Base: Ultra Glide S - A premium, 7000-grade sintered base reserved for our high-end models. Packing more molecules into the P-tex means it’s super tough and hauls ass.

FEATURES

Flex Walls - We started stepping away from classic ABS sidewalls some years ago, and now all our boards are made with superior poured-in Urethane sidewalls. This construction method allows for better bonding of the sidewalls to the core, creating a more durable snowboard. On top of this, the unique dampening capabilities of Urethane (yes, the same material used for skateboard wheels) create a much smoother ride than traditional sidewalls.

D.S.T. Super Tubes - Dual Super Tubes, a Super Tube on either side of the board enhances pop and gives the camber more snap.

Carbon Stringers - Carbon is incredibly lightweight and delivers explosive pop, quick edge response, and exceptional dampening at high speeds. By incorporating carbon fiber stringers into the board’s construction, we can fine-tune the flex and elevate your ride to the next level. 

Step Down Rails - This topsheet 3D effect features a slight taper of the deck along the top of the sidewall. This reduces the top-profile, saving weight and adding more precision to your carves.
