We are very excited to announce here the dates of the "Swoard Demo Tour 2018". This "Tour" includes of course the main event "ExtremeCarving Session (ECS)" (15th edition) and four other smaller meetings (in resorts we have "certified for EC"). "Demo" does not only mean that the participants can test Swoard boards, but also that they can watch demonstrations of extremecarving by the Swoard team (the founders and Swoard instructors).
- 16-17 December 2017: Hintertux (Austria, very close to Germany and Italy) > details and registration here
- 13-14 January 2018: Peyragudes (Pyrenees, France) > details and registration here
- 27-28-29 January 2018: Zinal (Valais, Switzerland) - MAIN EVENT - 15th SWOARD ExtremeCarving Session – 15 YEARS ANNIVERSARY > details and registration here
Book your hotel or apartment as soon as possible, in Zinal or Grimentz (both resorts are linked by a gondola) accommodation - 3-4 March 2018: Pila (Aosta, Italy) > details and registration here
- 17-18 March 2018: Courchevel (France) > details and registration here
At least 2-3 Swoard instructors will be present at each event. The Swoard team will be complete with 6 instructors during the main event "ExtremeCarving Session" in Zinal.
The new model SWOARD Dual2 will also be available. Therefore the riders in soft boots are welcome!
The third new model, the SWOARD Extremecarver Pro2, is made in limited series by hand (in 3 sizes and 5 flexes): thus only few demo boards are available. It is presented at the stand with the SWOARD Redline bindings, which are awesome on the snow! They are sold on demand.
------------------------------
Participate in the "2nd Swoard Film Contest". Shoot some good sequences during two seasons, with one or several Extremecarver (or DUAL) in action, for editing a nice film before the 12th of January 2018. The films of the winners will be screened during the Saturday dinner of the Swoard ECS 2018 in Zinal. There are 3 boards to win

The Swoard team
Personal thanks:
Big thanks to all the people who are now also part of the Swoard team:
- the Swoard EC instructors: Arnaud, Alex, Frabass, Anthony, Julien, Sébastien, Petr and Abrax
- the staff in organization: Arnaud, Frabass, François (= Le Fanfoué), Sébastien and Petr
- the staff in backstage: Joël, Tali, Jörg, Francesco, Gio and the Forum moderators
- the numerous volunteers helping us in the stands: Christophe, Etienne, Eric, Christian and more (they will be listed after the ECS).
Without your help and passion, those events would not be possible since 15 years. We believe that this is contributing to make alpine snowboarding more visible in Europe and in the world, what is good for the future of our sport.
