Seb Perret (creator and shaper of Phenix) was recently selling 2 swallows he shaped for Bohême, quiet cheap. Maybe he still has them:

Il vient de fonder une nouvelle boite de swallow:
www.phenix-snowboards.com
mail: sebastien.perret@club-internet.fr

Là il vends 2 beaux swallows boheme neufs au prix de l'occase:
-1 swallow SW 172 (450 euros)
-1 swallow SW 182 (450 euros)

Ca se passe là (avec photo):

The SW 182 is the best for you. The SW 172 is a bit short. 182 is not long for a swallow.

SW 182:
effective length: 1390 mm
front: 305 mm
waist: 237 mm
rear: 271 mm
radius: 10 m
Pintail: 34 mm

Can be mounted with softboots or hardboots (thanks to moderate waist, and stiffness).

I saw those boards already thanks to your link in the french forum. They are very nice.

I was just thinking that the Swell Panik Global 187 might be a better board and wait for the swallomania to decide what to buy.

I'm not sure that the SP Global is that much better. 248 at waist seems better for softboots. With 237 at waist I think the boheme might be better for hardboots.
Ask Nils he certainly knows.
