Hey hans you beat me on the finish line :)
Yes we are proud to announce that We will be distributed very soon in the US thnx to Michelle and Fin from Bomber Industries. We are starting shipping boards the next week to them :). And they will also have demos!

We are VERY happy of this cooperation which help reducing the price of the Extremecarver ! Not only this is a business cooperation but also we are happy to work with them personaly. We'll start slowly with H and M flexes, and after a while, on order, i think all flexes will be available.

For those above 100-105 kilos: we do not recommend the board for now until we provide a HH flex... As you know the flexes of the Swoard is much softer than you average race stick so it works really great in EC, it is not however possible to sustain the extra g's that a heavy weight like Mike Tyson can put on a turn.. It is fine when everything is normal, but if a hole catches the nose edge and keeps it inside, it is likely to result into breakage, and more serious problem: injury of the rider. Neither bomber or us do want this right? It means: Do EC only when conditions are ok for EC> hard snow / hero snow / ice is ok, but very soft snow needs adaptation of your style of riding :)

Thnx for your cooperation and thnx to Bomber crew

The Swoard team

We have tried (to work with that French big shop network), they have called us back, but since they cannot guarantee that our products will not be put at -30% at some time (and thus killing all other resellers we have and partnership with), we wish not to work with them.. We prefer to have small team of passionnate resellers that believe in us, than have to fight about price issue every other day...

Wow, just checked Bomberonline.... the nose got screwed during the shipping ;-))

As for the price, it sounds like a good deal at today's FX (1 EUR = 1.4846 USD).... not considering tax and shipping to bring it back to EU...


Cheers
