And let's try to get you pokkis on a Swoard Gen3 "extended" and/or on the new model coming soon. ;-) It's time. Your best friend Whitey loves his Swoard, like evGen.
If you again come in Zinal for one week of vacation on December, I'll leave you a demo board (proper size and flex) for several days. Some riders need time to handle the board and feel its amazing performances. Some are immediately comfortable. Then it seems there is no limits in the progression and wonderment.

EvGen: excellent and funny pictures! :D :silly:
Let's hope the summer will be quick. See you!

Pokkis,
Cool! We will meet early January already. 8)
I also test various boards (the most recent was a Kessler). It's important to stay "informed" when working in Swoard R&D. Of course I don't write public reports on their good and bad points. ;-) I could write a lot about metal use for example. And Jacques even more, of course.
Note that when I see a guy posting a cool picture in any Forum, I don’t tell him: "Cool, but you should try my board."
See you soon! Time goes fast.

Patrice Fivat

PS: Swoard ECS 2010 dates will be given at the end of summer. It must be confirmed with the resort director.

It's a good proposal for next ECS! ;-)
If temperature is low, Russian vodka could be helpful! :D
