Congratulations to the Swoard team.

The launch of a second model is a great step in the development, growth and maturity of your company.

As with your first model, many are going to enjoy the benefits of your passion and hard work.

Cheers from Canada.
Rob

PS - I love the model name. :D

DUAL

Post by Hans » Thursday 10 September 2009, 15:33

DUAL = TWO = must be a freeride/freecarve board for softboots/hardboot setup.

My guess is that Dual is an alpine snowboard with freeride-inspired shape (round tail and nose with slightly wider waist) utilizing ATC matrix.

That's what I think, if the first half of the film "Carved" servees is an indication. I was looking at the board and the setup Jacques was using in that film and I recon the board he was using was quite similar to the extremecarver model (red topsheet, black sidewall etc).

But I guess we would have to wait until Nov... :-(

By the way, does this mean the production of Extremecarver model would eventually phase out?
