Skwalleur

Strangely enough, I haven't ridden any green monsters to compare with... There is however plenty of good advice in the review sections and in loads of posts. I've got a pair of comfy Head Cirrus (27 mondo) for sale.

I couldn't resist getting this 120cm Thias for my goddaughter when I found it in France. Smallest cutest plates I've ever seen. So cool.

EU shipping is a safer bet for me at $21... I've got some bad expreiences from paying customs from the US when I bought my Skwal TD:s from Bomber...

It was on a second chance from German ebay. Fixed price in Euros - like $275. Great price, for a brand new?! About the lift questions... I'm kind of used to it ripping it up with my Skwals. Thanks a lot. I'll probably buy it and hope that I can sell my two Sims Burners lying around.

What, are they chartering a helicopter for the shipping? I just checked postage for a pair of Head Boots I might be shipping to Canada and they were $50 for a 5 kg colli.

Hey carvers! I just got the chance to buy a brand new Volant Excel. From what I've found in the posts it is a nice board, but some people have had problems with the top-sheet coming off. Could someone give me the bottom line on them to support my decision? I'm 72 kilos, normaly rides Sims Burner/Premium and serveral Skwals. /Teddo

... or so my goddaughter thinks! Couldn't resist buying the 120cm Thias for her, and she loves it.

I also bought a pair of F2 Intec titanium from them at a great price! I only used e-mail in my conversation with them using http://babelfish.altavista.com

XXL isn't small is it? http://www.surftreff-online.de/product_info.php?products_id=372&XTCsid=dd0275fe5b807b9d77af3da9c6aff556 Yes, they are 05, but I only think F2 has one model around with Intec nowadays. Just use Babelfish for the translation, I don't know German and managed to buy a pair just by mailing them. /Teddo

Dont want to hijack this thread totally, but there was a major downside on my trip to Sölden, Austria last weekend... I WANT TO BUY ALL THAT GOOD STUFF! Managed to come home with a pair of brand new Stratus Pro, but I was close to putting myself in bankrupcy when I saw all the brand new shiny Virus boards, F2:s and other sick stuff that I've never even heard of. To top it all off F2 had a test site on the mountain to put even more salt in my wounded economy... I actually test rode a Silberpfeil so hard that I crashed and cracked the tail. /Teddo

Hey Carvers! I just came across a brand new asym F2 Firebird. Does anyone have any experience with this board? I know that there is a lot of tech-talk about asyms in general (and the demise of them), but I'd just like to know if it's worth a try. Otherwise the Skwal is my first choice any day, but there's less difference between heelside and toeside with the 0 degree angles on my Skwals. /Teddo

I received som questions yesterday, so I might as well post that info here too. -Cirrus is lower level than Stratus. -It has the same ski-boot-type buckles as Stratus, but made of plastic. -It does not have a thermoflex liner. -It has the same kind of walking mode switch as Stratus, but does not require tools to adjust forward lean angle. - Same high quality look-and-feel as Stratus.

No clue about that, but you might get a good deal from http://www.surftreff-online.de/index.php?cPath=8_111_123_125 Maybe they ship to US. /Teddo

Like new, not used for more than a week. Silver gray. Including original leash and stomp pad. Can mail pics. €110 The bindings are in Sweden, but I can check price for shipping to EU/US, not too heavy or bulky. teddo@glocalnet.net

I've been riding the first Skwal - the Lacroix, and worked my way up through the Thias Line of boards, and I can comfortably say - it is the BOMB!

I say buy!!! Anythin under $500 is a steal!

The Thias Skwals does have the standard 4x4 (I've got the 178 Freeride), but on the Völkl it's not standard at all. I had to drill an extra hole in the Intec TD Skwal disc to make it work, even then it only goes on with three screws and not centered. I could never fit a regular binding onto any of my skwals. The old Lacroix skwals does not have inserts at all - the bindings are screwed-on ski-style. /Teddo

Slightly used 03/04 model, only a few scratches on the insides from four days of use. Intec compatible. €130 Can throw a pair of Blax Intec Bindings in the deal for €100 (no heels though). teddo@glocalnet.net Location - Sweden, but I can check the cost for shipping to US/EU.

I think what you are looking for are the Intec-compatible pants that F2 makes. You snap a strap in the pant into the handle and then you can grab the pant to release. I've got the F2 "Elias Pant 2" that works this way: http://www.blue-tomato.at/ProductDetailAction.bto?selectedNode=OIheGAqJWrqPEBWgen8Aie-1 Cheers /Teddo

I ride the Monocarver Skwal! It's the stiffest smoothest carve ride ever. The only bad thing about it it that I had to drill an extra hole in the TD Skwal base plate to be able to use the binding - it doesn't have standard 4x4 inserts. /Teddo LeeW -> Monoski huh? No WAY!
