Re: Swoard/Virus Xtreme Carver versus Pureboarding Bastard

PERFECT!!!

Thank you all so much for your effort and patience to sort this out!

Finally I got it crystal clear which one I have to choose, which will be the EC PRO 168H.

So, once more thank you so much and have a great season!

Cheers,
Dietmar

Re: Swoard/Virus Xtreme Carver versus Pureboarding Bastard

Do you mean by "more lively" more agile, in a way that I could ride lazier from edge to edge, or do you mean more nervous in a way that I have to ride more attentive and precise?
Would not the shorter version fit better my requirements of excellent slow EC capabilities AND good slalom capabilities?

Re: Swoard/Virus Xtreme Carver versus Pureboarding Bastard

So it looks like the EC Pro is THE one for me.

Then remains only the question which one I should pick?
A bit smaller than my hide/weight would suggest (168H), in order to be a bit more agile, or should I stick to the official recommendation (175 M)?

Re: Swoard/Virus Xtreme Carver versus Pureboarding Bastard

Yes indeed, I am more and more led towards the EC Pro, as I am clearly a hard boot/carver type of border. My biggest question is: Does the EC Pro also work well at lower speed? And will I still be able to do easy, short, sharp, and carved slalom turns edge to edge? As I am still happy with my Proto ...

Re: Swoard/Virus Xtreme Carver versus Pureboarding Bastard

Thank you very much Jörg for your quick response and warm welcome! Is the Dual not pretty much the same concept like the PureBording Bastard with the same problem that the small radius brings the disadvantage of not work that perfect for EC, that it reacts more nervous (like hopping) at deep lay-dow...

Swoard/Virus Xtreme Carver versus Pureboarding Bastard

Dear EC Community, I am hoping to find your expertise about my desire to find a board, which combines two most conflictive characteristics: 1. Best possible EC capabilities, which are to me perfect reliability and smoothness on the edge at deep lay-down with 90º angle at any type of slope conditions...
