Shape, Profile and Sidecut

The Surfer Mini enjoys the same stunning outline as the award-winning adult version. It’s a directional design with a huge nose, a set back stance and a proper swallow tail. There’s a lot of 3D shaping going on here, too – particularly at the front, which features an aggressive amount of uplift on each side plus SideKicks to maximise the hull-like effect at the wide points.

Together with the extra width, this all makes the nose float naturally in deep snow, while the tail sinks of its own accord. Your kid won’t have to lean back or experience leg burn, even if their first turns in the sidecountry are only slow. Crucially, the swallow tail also makes the most of the available running length, so the board has plenty of edge to engage when they’re back on the groomers. In fact the Surfer Mini is awesome for doing proper carves, just like those old farts on dad’s insta feed.

As with all Bataleon’s, the side profile is traditional camber, with no rocker at all since the Triple Base does the job of reducing edge catches. Like we say, it’s a bonafide carving machine in a pint-sized form.
