Bataleon Blow vs Never Summer Proto Slinger

How they compare

Both target freestyle terrain, while the Never Summer Proto Slinger leans more all mountain. They share a twin shape — same shape at nose and tail; rides switch naturally. Common for park and freestyle. The Bataleon Blow has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Never Summer Proto Slinger uses hybrid (camber/rocker) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). Both are rated 3/10 flex (soft). The Bataleon Blow targets intermediate riders while the Never Summer Proto Slinger is aimed at advanced riders.
