Guys, thanks for the help! I will definitely ride with soft boots, just wonder which softboot binding will work best with the swell...I am going for some serious trip in himalayas next year so failure is not an option ;) i was considering drakes but they have aluminum baseplate and as far as i know ...

Guys,

which bindings will you recommend for swellpanik magistral?

Thanks!

Hi guys!

Upon buying new board from kafi i've stumbled upon the question as to which binding should i use...

should i go for moderate flex for surfy feel or for aluminum base for max response?

the board is 2012 sswellpanik magistral

I knew you'll like it ))))

My powder missile has finally arrived! Can't wait to test it in deepest pow, open fields of Himalayas and in tight trees of Colorado ;) Despite its size (187cm) this thing is super versatile and in powder it is second to none! p.s. Kafi makes the best swallowtails in the world! Period! Just pray for...

Part 3





p.s. Kafi is da man

Its like in big wave surfing: boards with too much rocker are hard to keep flat on the wave surface and tend to loose balance and stability. Anyway since i haven't used it, i cant really say, but i'd rather stay with my ST with 25 ...

Since all major manufacturers are promoting rocker-based technology (which is quite old, actually) the question is whether these rocker-based snowboards can match the swallowtails (pogo, swellpanik etc) in powder (high-speed stability and maneuvring) and versatility on piste?

p.s. translation: What does krakovjak look like?

indeed i see him every winter usually for a short time when i drive around la Grave ! Global is a nice versatile board, because conditions with perfect pure powder are rare and you need versatility ! Heard you had scary times in Montgenevre with F and T...? Global has better reactivity than Magistr...

Beautiful Kafi indeed makes the most beautiful and performing powder boards in the world...Many try to copy him, but he has so much experience his boards just work better than the rest... :).. got two of them ( magistral and amok), and cant wait to order a 3d ( global) in the future.. thnx for shar...

Kafi told me that 2 more videos are coming - with pressing and finishing.

Stay tuned!

Fantastic video!

....Nice stuff Nils...very nice stuff....the carbon looks very nice...but I finally decided to get the Shaman...I like the construction that is a little sturdier than the SWPanik...and the 23,5 cm width is close to our beloved Swoard..so maybe I can do some EC in fresh snow..! As far as i know, Sha...
