Bataleon Tornado x Beyond Medals vs Nidecker Play

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain and freestyle riding. They share a directional twin shape — mostly twin with a slight directional bias—versatile for all-mountain and some switch. The Bataleon Tornado x Beyond Medals has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Nidecker Play uses flat_rocker (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel). The Bataleon Tornado x Beyond Medals is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
