Sounds like you have adapted well to the challenge, with some fairly simple but thought out changes/equipment, . While not technically handicapped I've managed to reduce the strength in my right leg a significant amount due to breaking it twice, the last time 2 1/2 years ago needed multiple operations, pins, plates, screws and bone grafts. Sooooo I was an avid skier and am now looking at a carving board to get back on the hill. Visited a board shop in SLC a few weeks ago that carried a few carving boards but they didn't have anyone there really up to speed on the sport, good group of folks though, very friendly and they tried to help. Anyway seems like a good way to get back on the hill and have some fun with my buddies here on the "least coast" and ultimately get out west and get back into it. The Skwal deal, if I understand it sounds like a carving board with a different foot position, more like slalom water skiing than boarding?????
