Tom, you should add:
narrow race board
Skwal
snowskate
condoms

I don't know, how.
Besides that, I wanted to avoid any wide-narrow-discussion here

How about a Swoard Titanal ?

hmm. Titanal board would be good, but IMO technology is not mature yet for titanal snowboards and this means that price and failure rate (delamination/metal sheet breaking) will too high for recreational rider. Especially for extreme carving, which means that forces for board will be quite big. Maybe in 1-2 years situation will be better, but right now I won't buy one.
All mountain (with little bit smaller torsional stiffness) would be my pick probably: swoard is nice in good groomed slopes and fresh powder, but when things get chopped up (mogul field

) then at least I have quite big difficulties due to its stiffness. Tested in Whistler, where it dumped 4 days in a row and after 2 days I was tired of fighting with Swoard on ridden up slopes and rented soft gear (first time in 6 years!)

You should avoid posts like this here, is not really helpful. Skywalker was asking for development opportunities of the Swoard brand.

tommaso2k, i do not understand your point. I like to ride narrow board same as wide. Virus makes wide board this, why SWOARD cant make narrow? I would buy narrow SWOARD board.
BTW skywalker was very clear - not take this too serious

relax
P.S.: I do not consider my post as wide-narrow discussion

do not like this stupid wars

First: think about the philosophie, riding style and technique the Swoard guys are promoting
Second: think about the word Zylon
Third: rethink your post again, maybe you get the point

there is noting to re-think. Starting post was not focused on things you are talking about - philosophy and technique not dependent on the board.
Zylon was a joke, ok

partially. Maybe modern materials can make Vahur happy on bumpy slopes.
Let`s stop here, OK?

A nice splitboard so we can walk the mountains as long as when we have snow here in Europe.

What's the interest of Titanal ?
Is it another concept to do construction ? Or "just" a fashionable word ?

Proper titanal construction is killer thing for riding, as seen on race tracks.
It will make board working much better when things get rough. Difference is not so big on perfect surface.
I should have let you test my board in Zinal on afternoon

pokkis, do i understand correctly that titanal increases torsion stiffness and not increases longitudional, so this makes titanal board easier to ride on bumps and same time keep stability on the high speed.
