I took it last week at Surfit shop...
Nice board, perfect, hard.
Good session to you Alex, and maybe see you again this winter to La thuile.
Good winter to everybody.
(for me I'll test my board tomorow morning at Courchevel, but the weather...)
A+

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!
I read on your TNT tracking, 9th December: "Held Customs-awaiting Payment Of Duties/taxes From Receiver".
They are bad at the customs.
Where are you going to ride? The season is over in NZ, isn't it!?

If there's enough snow, glaciers.
Otherwise not until next July...
Cheers!

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

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
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 !

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

)))
