It's important to teach our sons to the extremecarving.
I'm 28 and often i'm the youngest of the group

train new generation to the hard side of snowboard!!!
In zinal there was a board long around one meter with hard bindigs, it was fantastic but i didn't see the rider of that micro-swoard

I was waiting for you alex! Nice picture and nice board!
I'm wondering about the sidecut radius

Unfortunately micro-Swoard is not availiable, I would buy for my daughter if it was

So i will wait until she will grow up to take her mother`s board.

Custom kid boards from Oxess are same price as for average adult snowboard. Luckily Sigi Grabner arranged small snowboard production for a reasonable price.

By the way it would be great adverisement for a Swoard brand.

The micro Swoard is hand made by Fefer. Great work !!

During the SDT Step in Peyrgaudes, I let a 12 years old girl try a Dual 158. She was enthusiastic (ok, she has an amazing level in snowboard ...)

We want a real micro-Swoard from Jacques

But i think something similar would be OK as well

By the way, Jacques or Patrice - what would be a minimal weight and height to ride 161XS snowboard? Because current table for XS tells that even little girl 133/36 can ride it, i just hesitate to buy and not able to test really.

Yes, 36 kg is OK, even with 30 kg it would be ridable. And I suppose that if the board is 10 cm longer than the rider it still would be possible. But of course you have to test...

Thanks Jacques. I think i can find extra soft swoard here in Moscow and give her to try

But she is not 10 cm lower than board but 27

Is it ok? Does 161XS board allows 33 cm stance?

We have another hardbooter young lady in Moscow of 12 years old and her father is looking for appropriate snowboard

Would you think about of growing extremecarvers population and support our efforts to increase it by teaching our kids?

27 cm seems too much to me. But it's not forbidden to try.

Minimal stance is 38cm. Bindings with +-1 cm adjusment allows 2 cm more = 36cm.

Starikashka, the market is already so small for grown-ups, then imagine for children! We still have 161S with rubber tails because sales are rare with such boards.

Making a model for children is as expensive as for normal boards and is way too expensive for the small company we are, even if you would accept to pay the same price as the normal Extremecarver (the manufacturing cost is the same)...

Bigger companies can afford this but in reality they pay for it but it doesn't matter because it is a marketing action.
