Nice board, perfect, hard.

My swoard has finally arrived in NZ!

Arrived in NZ pretty early, there was a bit of drama regarding invoices but all resolved now... :-)

Thanks!

Ah cool! :bravo:

I read on your TNT tracking, 9th December: "Held Customs-awaiting Payment Of Duties/taxes From Receiver". :naughty:
They are bad at the customs. ;-)

Where are you going to ride? The season is over in NZ, isn't it!? :-)

Well well well... my Swoard N. 0080 is happily in my hands!
First she went to a friend of mine who lives near Zurich. He then brought her to Innsbruck, where we met last weekend to visit a friend there and to see those Christmas markets.
So now she is happy at home (why do I say "she"? when referring to the Swoard? in Italian it is "LA tavolA", therefore a board is definitely feminine).

Not any natural snow nearby, so I was not too keen to take her out for a first tryout.
But flirt we did. A first steamy and passionate night ensued and I sure laid as low as I dared.
Completely horizontal lay downs are so easy with this board!

Here is the "morning after" picture :lol:

hello Viviane!
Congratulations for your new acquisition. So the testing of the board that you did at ECS08 was to your liking, I guess.

In my experience, unwrapped is better (see my post in this thread a few posts back). Don't forget to wear your helmet :wink:

See you on your swoard sooner of later - in Zinal at the latest.

I don't like to sleep with my Swoard. It has got a lovely body (slim, curved outlines and smooth skin), a hot blood and a fantastic glide, but it is to agressive for my personnal practice (I'm a "sentimental").

And most of all, it hurts a lot !
Protect yourself with Polyglut ! :wink:

Wow ))) looks like a freak club :-) never do this after edge sharpening :-) only in case you want to get Carlo Maria Broschi voice.

P.S. you need to give regards to the SWOARD team for shipping the board with safe edge sharpening :-) now i do not wonder why they do so :-))))
i`m learning
