phenix update :)
Updated the quiver yesterday 
The Phenix Carbon 183 has made its debut in the home quiver...
On the first pic from left to right:
- Swellpanik amok 196cm, custom wood ( nut tree) work, no graphics..particularity is the wamp tail. Its definitely my fav board, outpowers anything there is in fast rides in the pow ( ok not skis)..
- Rossi 2003-4 198 Undertaker ( waiting for its first ride...). Pow days are rare, so i am not using this one
- A snowboards red and blue 200cm: pure straight pow lines at mach 2... not a very versatile board: no camber, very good in deep only.. The blue and red's were made in the canada factory when Regis had his deal there.
- Phénix snowboards 1.83 carbon swallow: double flex concept with full carbon sheet for juice...unridden yet. I have to measure it looks a bit smaller than the 183 announced..
- Swellpanik 1999 Magistral 185cm: my first ST saw lots !

comparison between the amok and the phénix:

tail concepts: very different: the amok tail is easier to sink and has a bit more lift ( tail rocker).. Since Sebastien Perret ( phénix shaper) was also Freesurf's and Bohème, there is similarities between the tails of those brands over the last 15 years.

Scoop ( nose rocker ) main quality of a ST or any good powder board: very low on the snow...The undertaker is the higher of them all. The amok and the A's are the flattest nose. They never get burried in the snow because of the long progressiveness of the curve...When i see people with twin tip 170cm boards in the snow with a very high nose, i know they will end riding on the back foot with straight forward leg, all the weight on the back trying to raise over the snow, fighting the nose that is pushing the pow....

Nils, very good purchase!....but....like Boheme's sw, I don't like the tail concept: its feeling, not in powder but, above all, in the bad snow (crust and heavy snow).
So, I prefer the Pogo feeling but I am looking also for an APO swallow 186...have you tried it?

i love it
this is 1984 stuff ( recognize the bindings
Try it and the bails break instantly
THis is a cooooool toy !! if a german can get it for my collection since i dont speak good enough to make the deal
My best collector's piece is a Everest plastic board...someone has one too? ( fin, plastic straps, kick tail: unridable !

....Nice stuff Nils...very nice stuff....the carbon looks very nice...but I finally decided to get the Shaman...I like the construction that is a little sturdier than the SWPanik...and the 23,5 cm width is close to our beloved Swoard..so maybe I can do some EC in fresh snow..!

As far as i know, Shaman is softer than SWPK thus carving on it would be a problem...Silber wrote:....Nice stuff Nils...very nice stuff....the carbon looks very nice...but I finally decided to get the Shaman...I like the construction that is a little sturdier than the SWPanik...and the 23,5 cm width is close to our beloved Swoard..so maybe I can do some EC in fresh snow..!
