It was bought from Nils in May 2004. It was a repaired warranty 3D model (reglued tail) that was sold at a 40% discount. I paid 761 CHF. The reason for sale is that I mostly ski with my kids these days. The board has been used 20-25 days, mostly in the 2004-5 winter. Condition is good with some cosm...

Swoard 168h 0217 for sale in Zuerich *** SOLD ***

*** SOLD ***

I was going to wait until next Autumn (and advertise it properly) but in case there is anybody around Zuerich who would like to get their hands on a Swoard for the last month of the season, I am going to let mine go.

Sorry Peter, about to go on holiday this weekend :D Will look you up in a couple of weeks though. I'm also a Hoch-Ybrig fan. I have just got back from the shop. He only had one size there (42/270) which was really one size too big for me. It was interesting to see the boots in real life anyway. Cert...

Cool thanks xyxx. Not far from the office. I am amazed those guys are still doing hard boot stuff since they always seemed pretty fashion oriented. I bought my first Intec bindings from them in 1997 (then went back for new cables a few weeks later :wink: ) The reported stiffness is worrying but I ke...

Somewhere to try on Virus/UPZ boots around Zürich

I would like to try on the Virus/Upz boots since my feet are very wide and never entirely happy in my Raichles. Does anybody know a shop that is stocking them around Zürich?

Also want to say thanks for doing it as an mpeg4, not wmv or quicktime. My DVD player will play this and it's practically DVD quality played on my TV.

Nils and co. please consider releasing the next Opus as a high quality xvid or divx avi :D

Hard boots have long been forgotten in the UK. Maybe a windsurf shop that sells F2 and snowboards as well? Your choices are to go to a shop in Europe or buy by mail order. In Switzerland and I guess Austria, you can still find resort shops that sell hard boot gear but not in every resort. Your best ...

So when my FAST cable breaks :( , will it be difficult to get my boot out of the binding?

Is there any warning that the cable is damaged before it breaks?

I had 2 Intec cable failures. The last set have lasted a long time however. A bit dissapointed to hear about the FAST cable breaking as well though. Is it servicable at all? Maybe the best thing to carry in your backpack is a spare toe clip binding.

I picked up some new Snowpro FAST race bindings very cheap off ebay.fr. Before then I used Blax and Proflex Intec bindings. The FAST step-in mechanism works at least as well as Intec and might be a bit less prone to ice build up. No cable to break either (I used to carry a spare intec heel piece in ...
