Re: New Extremecarver Gen5: preview

Hey Pokkis Well I wouldn't call it "xtreme angles" ....if your getting two hands and your hip down on the snow that puts the board at around 90 degrees vertical, (just look at the photo above the header for ECS 2017 (of Patrice?) at the top of this forum) which means your dragging the sidewall and t...

Re: New Extremecarver Gen5: preview

Thanks for that info.

One more question.............. do you guys protect the top sheet in someway from EC riding?? My Dual was all scratched up on the top sheet from EC riding and wonder if the Swoard team is even concerned about such things.....

Re: New Extremecarver Gen5: preview

As of today......has anybody received their ordered Gen 5 and if so is it worth the wait compared to picking up a discounted Gen 4 Now?? Also..... are the flex patterns relative the same between Gen 4 and 5? ie: Is a Gen5 H flex any stiffer than the Gen4 H?? The Swoard sizing charts says I should be...

Re: New Swoard Dual2: preview

What would you say is the most noticeable difference in riding the Dual2 an experienced Dual (hardboot) rider would feel??
Also from riding my Dual 168 what would be the turn/ride difference be moving up to the Dual2 175?
I am 100 kilo, 188cm and mondo 28

Re: New Extremecarver Pro2: preview

The Swoard team told me my angles were too steep... " so you could reduce your binding angles (for example to 52° front / 45° rear) and thus get powerful turns on toes and heels"

52/45 ?? My question is what binding gives you the ability to make 1 degree changes to get to a 52 degree angle??

Or can this tuning be used on any condition with all Swoards, Dual, Gen 5 and Pro2????

Re: New Extremecarver Pro2: preview

Hey Nils suggested this for tuning Pro 2 edges:
Normal edge tuning: 90°
Better: -1° base and total 90°
Even Better: -1° and total 89° using tooltonic technique ( check the videos online from tooltonic.ch on youtube)

Will the "Better" or "Even Better" tuning for the Swoard Dual also??

Re: New Extremecarver Gen5: preview

Hey Swoard Team Thanks for the reply. Well your recommendation of 175 "H" concerns me.....would a 175H EC5 be less stiff than a Virus UFC?? Really don't want another board where my legs are dead after a couple of hours of hard charging....should I mention I'm 60 years old? Also what should I expect ...

Re: New Extremecarver Gen5: preview

Hmm........I really like my 168 Dual (with hardboot setup) but now thinking of moving up to a 175 EC5 What should I expect in ride difference and turn shapes?? I can EC the Dual but get alot of leg soreness on my rear leg/thigh the next day. I'm running 55/60 angles Would the EC5 and/or a longer len...

Re: New Swoard Dual2: preview

Hi Guys, I have 168 Dual and love it! I also love to EC it with my hardboot setup. In looking at the Dual2, have the size/weight recommendations changed any?? Compared to most other boards available, it seems the Swoards are made for really light riders.....the top end weight of the 175 Dual is 95 k...
