GEAR: THE BATMOB SOLUTION!

As you progress in surfing, you naturally want to move towards a shortboard which allows more radicality, but losing paddling comfort and tolerance in maneuvers can be a risky bet! 😉 The solution offered by L’Ours is a hybrid shape that produces an aggressive and varied surf in small to medium waves with the ease of a mini-malibu without its bulk. In short, the Batmob!

The Batmob is the ideal board for those who want to switch to a more compact surfboard after learning on a longboard or exploit conditions that are too soft for a classic shortboard. To cover these programs, the shape of the Batmob is designed to take off early. Whether you are a beginner or a more experienced surfer on soft waves, the difficulty will be to get going early so as not to let the section peel off without you. So you need a board that is easy to paddle and drop. Its fast rocker gives it the speed you need to be on all the waves and in the best position to surf them well. Its take off is super early for a board of this compactness.

This compactness is what will work wonders when standing up. This is the goal of the Batmob, to surf on a compact board that allows for more radicality. Its wide tail offers high accelerations that propel you into the turns. You get into turns with speed and a simple foot pressure allows you to turn as on a board with a narrow tail because the stance is almost evenly distributed between the front and rear feet. Compactness with width at the tail provides more stability and power while requiring less technique. You are comfortable in the curves, and the board is playful even in imperfect conditions. More efficient in less powerful waves, that’s the big plus of this board.

Depending on the waves you are used to surfing and your preferences, you have the choice between two different technos, the EPS which is the favorite techno of surfers looking for performances in small to medium waves, or the WCKF which offers the best strength / performance ratio in tough conditions.
