Due to your description for agressive freecarving I'd recomend 185 modern combine metal-fiberglass construction with mono radius ! (13m)
I have been riding for 2 season modern Oxess 185 RG WC(20waist, VSCR 12-19m). It was real brutal Fun, but the board is not for freecarving, It does not want to ride across the hill, It does want to rush downhill It is for racing.
Now I change it on custom metal Donek 185 Rev (15waist,VSCR 12-18) It is superb. But now specs and philosophy of Donek Proteus 180-185 (13m monoradius) seems to me the most interesting for FreeCarving. Hope it makes sense.
It is can be 100% custom.
Donek'd made one for me due to my data.
180 cm,SCR 13m, waist 11cm, stiffness 8,5 (one of the stiffest, special for my 92kg). I ordered the speed and stable machine for aggresive carving with good icehold ability. And I got it!
For me I'm 92 kg, it was a bit soft, and I had to get rid of it and ordered Donek custom 180 fiberglass 13m SCR, stiff 8,5 (Donek's scale). Custom fits me PERFECT!
I suppouse, the width of nose in skwal's issue is not quite important. My Donek skwal has 17 cm nose,Lagriffe 18 cm nose. It's OK.
The narrower the nose,the easier turn initiation, but at the same time its less stable.
You are welcome! Very glad of this coincidence!
I need these very specs because of Moscow slopes are quite short, narrow and full of people, but at the same time 13m SCR is optimum.
Mikel45, thanks for the chance of seing Rabbit one more time. He rides on Donek 179 with 17 SCR, his riding looks very smooth free and effortless. I'm looking forward to get my order of my second skwal from Donek. My 200 lbs need rather stiff stick I'd say AStiffAP ( length-180, 13 SCR.) It's gonna be speed and stable machine.
Specs are 175cm, 12cm waist, 18cm nose, 17.5cm tail, 9mSCR, twin-tip, metal, early rise tip&tail.
Handles everything!
Very good, the real dream machine!
Is SCRadius not too small for you?
What's your weight and high?
What's the difference of tails on the skwals
what can give square tail and what can do rounded one?
I am thinking which of tails can be chosen to make on custom skwal for GS.
