Buying a Swoard

Post by redhead » Monday 14 March 2011, 10:24

Hi there,

I was checking for couple of days now, the sizes and all the measurements required to buy a board.
I'm 177, 88kg & boot shell 295cm. Looks like the proper board for me is 168H.
The question is: what if i buy 175M.
Since i'm riding Silberpheil 168, i told to myself, i could take a little bit longer one to try out.

I see also that u don't accept normal credit card payments except paypal account which are additionally charged by 4%. Which in my case will be another 29euros if i add 58e delivery to Poland.
Am i correct?
I understand that after purchase you gonna send me those IBAN/SWIFT numbers to finalize the payment?

Thanx.

You are too short for the 175, it will feel too big and slow in turns....
The big feet will require a bit more angles than on a 175, but its better than having a too big board!


As for payment, the easiest is IBAN : bank transfer.
For unknown reasons, Visa or credit card payment is ridiculously expensive for a company to have in switzerland, so we could not organize it...sorry!
