SNEAK PREVIEW OF THE EC BOARD: Please meet EXTREMECARVER
Hi all,
We have decided to display the future design of the boards. All boards will look the same, the only difference will be in the serial number, it will indicate the flex and the length of the model.
We have chosen SWOARD as a brand name: it is the sword that cuts deep, and also a contraction of swiss and board.. Lets hope you like both the logo and the name.
The website will be ready soon, should be next week, and real photos of the boards will be displayed there since the first finished boards will be ready next week.
The design has been kept low profile, in order to beat the youth oriented marketing that is seen elsewhere in the FS/FR world, and also because as we get older, we know that the truth lies within, and not on the outside. The design displayed here doesn't show the inserts, it will be 10 each 2 cm under each foot.
More to come
Nils, Jacques, and Patrice

mmm suptile!
MMM subtile design,
looks great and stylish,
but one question why a dark color I have read somewhere that J did not want to use a dark color because of some reasons??
nevemind I like it!!!
It is the best thing next to clear top sheet with the core visable
but you have to protect the trick of torsion control!!!
keep it up and let me know when its ready!!

Still don't get the part with protecting the technology....
A bit ridiculous IMHO - I make my living in the semiconductor industry, and it is actually possible (and done) to extract the "secrets" from a piece of silicon by etching it layer by layer.It is the best thing next to clear top sheet with the core visable
but you have to protect the trick of torsion control!!!
It would be MUCH easier with a snowboard - just rip the top sheet off!!!!! If the techology is that advanced, ANY major snowboard manufacturer would get a board and perform some "destructive testing"...
Do you (THE EC-GUYS) intend to have the buyers sign a NDA before getting the board?:-)

Hi
Olaf
If the torsion control in these boards is really a complete new thing, the only possibility to protect this invention would be a patent. If not already done by J&P, it's maybe to late now.It is the best thing next to clear top sheet with the core visable
but you have to protect the trick of torsion control!!!

Re: Still don't get the part with protecting the technology.
Yup, that's why we have patents. I'm unaware of patent costs for the swiss, or euro's in general, but if it's really such a concern then this is what you need to do. Otherwise I'd say relax and realize that business prosper through successful delivery, not by having a better gimick.It would be MUCH easier with a snowboard - just rip the top sheet off!!!!!
