If you didn’t already know, Lobster boards (owned by the Halldor and Eiki Helgason) are Bataleon boards, with Lobster graphics. So if you are buying a Lobster board, you are really getting a Bataleon. That is definitely not a bad thing, as TBT (Triple Base Technology) is a major plus on a board.
It is almost impossible to get this board anymore, plus each year there is a new Artist version of the Parkboard, so I would have a look at the normal Park Board.
The Park Board, or Pakr Baord to be exact, is an Evil Twin. So it is a medium flexing camber board, designed for the park. It is stiff enough to handle big jumps, but still soft enough for jibbing. If is a board that can handle the whole mountain, but wants to be ridden in the park.
The Parkboard uses the “Park TBT” version of TBT, which has a wider middle base section than normal (though a little thinner than “jib TBT”). This is made so that it carves nicely, but still has good balance on rails.
Lobster have two version of this board, the regular — which is plain black with green writing, and the troublemaker which has graphics of a mugger against a brick wall. If you like the sound of the board, you could buy the Evil Twin, normal Park Board or the Troublemaker, depending on which graphics you like best.
