Lee: I didn't know about the Spatulas but after googling they look a bit different. Reverse sidecut.
Phil: I haven't seen one myself yet but I'm trying to figure out whether their claims make sense. I can see the appeal for freestyle riders - it would be harder to catch an edge when spinning or landing. But I find it hard to believe that you wouldn't be sacrificing too much edge grip the rest of the time. Like you say it's like the ultimate edge detune.
I imagine it would be very forgiving on hacked up heavy snow.
Hello expert carvers, What do you think about these Bateleon boards ? Yes they are freeride/freestyle boards but what do you think about the triple base idea ?
