Fun Machine Got an Upgrade
of Joachim, Retail Management, Blue Tomato, Feb 1, 2023
I have been riding the regular version of this board for the past two years and it is a blast. So I really wanted to try the Plus version. I'm an all-mountain rider, always looking for some slush or powder to slash, groomers to carve and sidehits to play around on and I want a board that is playful, yet can handle higher speeds and deep carving. I'm 79kg and chose size 151, which fits my requirements perfectly.
I rode the board on icy to slushy early season groomers and some light powder. Though not the best on icy slopes, you can still count on the tripple base to give you enough edge hold to not wash out and destroy your knees. In firm to slushy snow, this thing rips! Long drawn-out carves to quick and short setup turns, you can just lay this thing on edge and go for it. The base is super fast and the short, bit stiffer tail will boost you off any natural features like it's Cape Canaveral. In powder, the tripple base combined with the board's shape will flote effortlessly.
The Bataleon Party Wave+ is a real step up from the regular version. It's faster, has more stability and is still so easy to roll from edge to edge, even for a volume shifted board that is wider and can be ridden a lot shorter than your regular all-mountain boards. I'd recommend this board to riders looking for a board to whip out on resort powder days and slush party trains with the gang. It could also easily replace my all-mountain board as an every-day driver. For sizing, check the size chart and go as short as possible if you want to spin and slash everywhere, or go 1 size up if you want to make this this your main board for all-mountain riding and carving.
