Hello

Anyway, did any of you made a good experience with it ?

Thank you

Once you will try Swoard, you will feel the difference. The Vantage is sometimes good to begin with EC, but it is a very rookie board.

Hi,

I cannot comment on the Vantage, but in 2002 I bought a F2 Silberpfeil, only because it was cheaper than a SWOARD.
Complete waste of time and money. I wasn't going anywhere with my turns.
Probably because of many reasons, but the main reason was that the Silberpfeil is much too narrow.
I gave it to a friend, but thinking about it I should have thrown it away, I don't think I did him a favour.

Since April 2012 I am proud owner of a SWOARD Gen4.
I haven't had nearly enough good days on the slope since, but I can do frontside laydown turns by now.
The back turns are pretty low, reaching the snow with lower arm and elbow, but not quite laying down yet.
Something I would have never achieved with the Silberpfeil.
Of course this could be entirely my problem, a better rider may well achieve lay down turns with the Silberpfeil,
but it is so much easier with the SWOARD.

One thing that did annoy me was the 180Euro import tax to Germany. That came as a surprise.
I should have gone to Switzerland for a weekend and picked it up myself.

all the best
Thomas
