Chances are it won’t be your everyday ride – and for pure soul-surfing turns, a directional powder board is still your best bet – but with so much float on tap in either direction, the creative potential in natural terrain feels limitless. The Magic Carpet is one of those boards that, if you’re lucky enough to have one, can make the best days even better. “Two carbon tubes have been milled into it between the inserts, one on each side, to reinforce the camber profile, boosting power and edge hold” Roundup On the plus side, you don’t have to wax it as often to maintain performance, and it’s easier to repair should you strike any rocks in the backcountry. Given the premium materials elsewhere it’s a little surprising to find the Magic Carpet only features an extruded base, even if this one claims to be the densest such P-tex on the market. Essentially, intermediates and above will find it friendly enough. All that helps eliminate chatter at higher speeds and stiffen the deck some, although it’s not actually a particularly stiff board overall. The topsheet is made from triax laminate, with more carbon fibre introduced at the nose and tail. Two carbon tubes have been milled into it between the inserts, one on each side, to reinforce the camber profile, boosting power and edge hold. It’s made from 70-percent paulownia and 30-percent poplar, so we’re talking very lightweight indeed. The Magic Carpet’s core is just one notch down from Bataleon’s most exclusive offering. “Despite being quite a wide model (again, to increase surface area) edge changes are rapid, since there’s less flat base to roll across” Looked at from the side, the Magic Carpet has traditional camber, so it’s pre-loaded with ollie power and feels engaged in the turn. That makes it a bit less stable on ice and hardpack, but since this board’s natural element lies outside the ropes, you’re probably not going to be too fussed about that. The central part of the base in these 3D zones is quite narrow, so the overall effect is to transform the board into a kind of boat that can glide effortlessly over powder, smash through chop and lean naturally into banks.ĭespite being quite a wide model (again, to increase surface area) edge changes are rapid, since there’s less flat base to roll across. As you move from the inserts towards the nose and tail, the sides of the board are steeply upturned, including an accelerated scoop at the widepoints known as SideKick.

It also features Pow 3BT – the most aggressive version of Bataleon’s Triple Base Technology. This gives the board more lift in deep snow. It differs from most twins in that the nose and tail are pretty long and pointy rather than blunt. As mentioned above, the Magic Carpet is a true twin outline, offering identical flex and riding performance in either direction.
