If the local forecast for the week holds true, we are in for quite a punch . . . 10 - 15 cm Sunday 20 cm Tuesday 20 - 30 cm Friday add a sprinkle of ice pellets, rain into the mix and we have interesting week ahead of us.

BUMP - still looking for INTEC RS step-in

Skyhawk, checked p.m., I believe the RS will better suit my beginner level carving on older board and my budget, thanks for the offer though, much appreciated.

Gee, I was hoping someone would have some insight into Skwal USA status. Their skwal price point ($425) was attractive. The next best price point would be the CODA split-tail skwal ($549).

Too early to bring up the idea of car-pooling? We are a one-auto family and it would be a bit much for me to also take the car, if you know what I mean. If someone has extra space, I'll committed to be at Magic Palace (Owl's Head) for the full week, leaving Ottawa and looking for a ride. Otherwise, if others are in the same boat, I'm cool about renting a car and sharing costs.

I'm interested further regarding this point . . . my UPZ boots are seriously painful . . . I thought it was the actual boot plastic and was prepared to trim (dremel the plastic).

Hi, on the look out for a decent pair of INTEC RS step-in bindings, let me know - CHEERS!

Hi all -- found a great blurb about canting requirements (based on your body structure) by Bruce Varsava of COILER COMPOSITES on the YYZCANUCK website. Skwallers are at at higher angles than stated below, but you'll get the overall gist, enjoy. Full article at source

Maybe worth checking this out further?

I suspect most know this but what the heck no harm repeating . . . The TD2 uppers will fit the lower TD2 Skwal Cant Disks.

@ McDowell - thanks for clarification regarding o-ring. In hindsight my Loctite reference seems a bit silly now. I too am going to give the bow-leg cant stance a try. @ John H - appreciate explanation regarding elastomers and o-ring interface. I believe I have the standard elastomer, so I bought myself replacement o-ring. back @ McDowell - IMHO, better (and much cheaper) to purchase some basic equipment and tune your own board. Bevel is no different than snowboard or ski, boils down to personal preference. Me one degree.

the two jokers passed on this - I believe the board is still available
