Hi,
i am boarding for 6 years now and actually riding a Nitro Cam 167 board. I was very impressed reading this web site. I am thinking if it could make sense to switch from my Nitro board to a Swoard but i am not sure if "only" EC is possible with Swoard? Normally when i go boarding i have various conditions of pist´s and snow and maybe with a Swoard i can only EC on very good prepared pistes? Please advice.
Regards
Tommaso

Hi Tommaso
Hope this helps

At least 50% of my riding is in what I call mixed conditions or off piste’ riding. Chewed up powder, crud, moguls, trees and so on. I love riding my Swoard in these conditions. Here are a few lines from a review I wrote on the Bomber board review section.i am not sure if "only" EC is possible with Swoard? Normally when i go boarding i have various conditions of pist´s and snow and maybe with a Swoard i can only EC on very good prepared pistes? Please advice

The big secret of the Swoard Extremecarver is it’s versatility. If you were to combine the characteristics of a race board with an all mountain carver you would end up with the Swoard Extremecarver.
The Extremecarver has found a great balance between power and all mountain versatility. When riding hard conditions you feel like you are on a race board that is tracking on a rail. The next minute, when in deeper snow or moguls, you feel like you are on an all mountain board that has a large nose.
You do not need to lay your turns flat on the snow to have fun on this board, it really is an all-round performer. The stability and ride is super smooth at higher speeds, at the same time the board was VERY easy to turn in ANY conditions.
Hi Rob,
thanks this helps a lot. Could you please tell me the web adress where i could read your article you posted because this sounds very interesting.
When i purchased my Nitor Cam 167 i thought a smaller board is better for carving (18cm) but after reading all these article it seems that this is not true.
Has someone experience with riding a small race board and switched to Swoard ( best option has someone experience with Nitro Cam) ??
Cheers
Tommaso

Tommaso, this was a post of me earlier, the Psycho I mentioned was a real carve/raceboard but not as versatile as a SWOARD is.
