Hmmm, Skwal - Cool, never tried it. On the other hand it is absolutely the opposite of the wide-board concept.....

I had issues on my Silberpfeil with the angles, so what would I experience on a signifficantly wider board?

Cheers,

Yes, cool if you ride on a blue track...try it on a steep double diamond with people in the middle... and then those 75° angles will be a lot of fun...

Not for me. Thanks. Big waste of money.

Heh, there is no way one could ride those things with 75 angles

my Bastard is 14 cm width and it requires 80/85 minimum

But seriously 75 angles are not so bad, i'm riding those everyday as well in Zinal video with those numbers

but this season i try to learn ride my Swoard with more modest ones

Half the width of a swoard and double the angles= diametrically opposed to the EC philosophy.

I think it's more a marketing scheme directed to racers who might want to carve maybe

Pokkis is right, the stance on a Skwal is not 75 degrees. The lowest angle I could apply to my Silberpfeil (width 18.5cm) was 66 at the back, with cants, lifts, etc, with a boot size of 44 to avoid overhang.

I guess the stance on the Skwal will be pretty much close to 90 degrees (actually in line with the boards line). Or you do not go that deep....

Cheers,

István
