Thanks for the offer! A lot of nice boards. I am thinking of buying a Nidecker Custom but last week I had a long discussion with someone from VandenBerg surfing (they do all the test for snowboard magazine) and in the past I joined them on some extreme trips with Ozone. They are saying that a Burton T with the right setup should be equal to a hardboot setup like mine F2 speedster when it comes to carving...but more allround. I am curious how this feels, but I don't think this can replace a hardboot setup. This week I am going to do a testrun.
Can you tell me the difference between your swoard and nidecker custom?

Greetings Mike
Hi Mike,

I just bought a Swoard 161H(+F2 race tits), sold my Silberpfeil 162(3 yrs) and will sell my Burton factory prime 157(5 yrs). I wil test the 161H this Friday 12 Dec. till next Tuesday. I live in Utrecht if you would like to take a look & feel. I will post my reviews end next week.

cheers, steven

Thanks for the offer Steve! Were are you going to test your board?

Tomas, I live in Amsterdam real close to topsurf! 20 minute drive. Thanks again for your info...this was really what I was looking for and now I understand that the swoard can make a difference. I think I am going to order one.

enne mike, volgens mij als je de filmpjes bekijkt op youtube lijkt het me dat de keuze voor de hand ligt als je je nog een beetje wilt onderscheiden op de piste..... :silly:

Sorry not able to join...today....as you allready noticed. Seen the movies on youtube even bad guys with very bad technics go down like it is nothing..on my raceboards it takes a litle more work and speed to go fully on your belly. I have been to topsurf last week but they were expecting the nidecker collection soon. Personally I would go for the F2 intec titanium...if heels are made for your shoes. I also still use Burton Race boots (wind) for who is interested I have Burton reactors for spareparts interested? (4free)
