Re: Swoard Dual vs Voelkl Coal

Day 5 - Coal XT: - the only weird thing that happened was that I had to get used to riding Coal again. Only after 2 runs I was back to having fun on it. I even considered changing assumptions and riding Dual again. Day 6 - Dual: - getting on Dual in the morning was a great pleasure. Another fun day...

Re: Swoard Dual vs Voelkl Coal

Day 3 - Coal XT: - changed my stance, by moving back the front binding by one insert (550mm stance) - a lot of fun - a rode a lot on the icy morning slopes, the black run and did not bother with a run to the bottom - took the gondola down. - pictures above are from this day. Day 4 - Dual: - after d...

Re: Swoard Dual vs Voelkl Coal

So here are my notes: Day 1 - Coal XT: - I've set it up according to manufacturers specs. Stance 570mm (setback 35mm), angles 33/18. Coal bindings1.jpg Note: Coal 168 has 4 inserts more (1 row in front and 1 row at the back) allowing for even wider stance - spend most of the day adjusting boots and ...

Re: Swoard Dual vs Voelkl Coal

Hello, For the impatient. The result: Swoard Dual wins. Why? Because it is smoother than Coal. It lets me do everything that I do on Coal and even more at the same time keeping the ride smooth and easy. Riding the Coal is binary - you either ride hard or you go home. Dual keeps up with Coal when the...

Swoard Dual vs Voelkl Coal

Hello, I decided to put Swoard Dual through some tests. As a reference I used Voelkl Coal - a widely available board. For me personally Dual is a 'soft board'. I know that it is supposed be a board you can ride in soft boots in powder and in hard boots on groomed slopes... but if you take 2 pairs of...

Hey there,

I found no problems there. Wizdoms fit my narrow helmet very well - I was quite amazed. Normally I have a problem with gogles being too wide, but they fit great, as on the picture below.

Hey, You all are going to hate me for this... but I am just training in South Africa and winter has been good here. So I've been practising my EC skills. Although the slopes are mostly flat, we do have a short black run, wide enough for Ec. You can fit 7-8 good EC turns there and it is enough to mak...
