Description

Function

Execute some aggressive and varied surfing in smaller/medium waves with the ease of a mini-malibu without being encumbered.

Introduction

The Batmob is an easy and performant board that perfectly meets the needs of beginning surfers or those on a good learning curve who desire an efficient and compact board for everyday conditions.

This hybrid and juiced up shape is also appropriate for larger sized riders, that are competent, who want to avoid the encumberance of a Malibu but the classic shortboard doesn’t supply enough volume or surface for them.

Paddling is easy with the aid of her rocker. She drops in early on the waves and is quite performant due to her large tail that offers heightened natural acceleration. The stance points are easier to manage than with a board that has a narrow tail because they’re distributed equally between front and back feet.

This larger tail gives more stability and power by demanding less technique. At ease while carving, the board is playful even in imperfect conditions. Better in less powerful waves.… which is the big plus of this board.

Accessible to an almost beginner all while staying super efficient and lively under the feet of an expert.

Ideal Waves

Size : for knee to just overhead.
Strength :at her best in mushy/normal waves.
Type : all conditions, even the chop and wind.

Sticking good pads is therefore essential. They will signal to your feet whether they are in the perfect position or not.
You still have to stick them properly, and some get very creative…
