If you want to develop your skills on boxes and rails or even learn to carve around the mountain, this versatile ride anything board has you covered.

Unlike many boards designed to help you progress your riding, the Feelbetter can keep up with your progression and not end up holding you back.

Rider Style: All Terrain

Beginners through to experienced riders who are looking for a versatile yet easy-going board that takes little to no effort to get the best from.

Shape Overview: Directional Twin

The Feelbetter utilises a state of the art blunt tip and tail directional twin chassis. This versatile shape combines all the feel and control of a true twin with the ride anything versatility of a directional board. This ensures that on days when you want to hit up the park, it’ll give you all the feel and control that you could ever need. However, by slightly increasing the volume in the nose, it’ll also give exceptional float in the pow and a stable and solid ride on the piste.

Profile: Freestyle Triple Base

As with the rest of the Bataleon range, it’s the unique Freestyle 3BT shape with Sidekicks technology that sets the Feelbetter apart from its competitors. This advanced 3D base profile combined with an overall traditional camber delivers truly stunning performance in all types of terrain. The Freestyle 3BT profile divides the base at the front and back of the board into three equally proportionate sections. The two side-base sections are then angled upwards with a medium height uplift to create the 3BT trademark profile. This innovative base profiling offsets the board’s torsional twist and helps engage the entire length of the edge during the turn. Combine this with the traditional camber, and you have a board that not only turns easier and with more stability, but you also get a board that floats better in pow and is more playful and forgiving for those days when you want to hit the park.

Side Kicks

SideKick dramatically increases the side base uplift just outside the widest part of the nose and tail. This makes turn initiation smoother, increases float in powder and improves the board’s handling in rough terrain.

Construction

Internally, the Feelbetter’s high-quality construction is headed up by the responsive Core core. This durable and lively wood core combines poplar with beech stringers running through the centre to deliver a dynamic flex through the length. This dynamic flex gives the board a solid and stable feel under the feet, inspiring you to push yourself and the board. However, thanks to the torsionally softer bi-ax glass structural layers, that stable and responsive ride doesn’t come at the expense of the board’s easy-going nature.

Base: Hyper Glide S Base

The high-quality Hyper Glide S sintered base is both fast and durable. Keep this waxed, and it’ll give you a super-fast ride.
