Kirk Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 For a Skwal, sounds about right. A little narrow for my taste, but some folks love 'em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 looks like a good price for new in the wrapper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Does that mean it has a 12.5 cm waist? 125mm = 12.5cm = 1.25dm = 0.125m = 0.000125km And it goes like that for all other measuring units of Metric System. It's easy, that's why it's accepted by majority of the world. Even here, in Canada, it has been official for over 20 years. For some strange reason most of Canadians chose to understand only inches... o: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabe Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Can somebody tell me more about this board? With 12.5Cm waist width, it must be really stiff board, I guess. otherwise it'll break in first several turns. And also I noticed (from the picture on ebay) it has very narrow stance too. :freak3: Does anyone have a picture riding on this board? I'd love to see.

Thor VonRippington Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 check the extreme carving websites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 the EC sites won't have anything on skwals - it's not too stiff - but you ride it at angles like 87.5* / 90* so you wouldn't break it. riding these is much more about balance than power. sheck the skwal links on the bomber links page - they have some decent pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor VonRippington Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 I thought those guys were all about ridding skwals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pow Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 nope... EC= Swords, pretty much the exact opposite of a skwal. Swords are wide boards meant for Totally Laid Linked Turns. Skwalls are sorta like riding on one ski: they are extremely narrow. It is most comparable to the "on snow" version of waterskiing on a "monoski" type waterski. Although seeing somebody EC on a skwal would be pretty cool:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor VonRippington Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 I knew about the shape difference, but not the ridding difference. I heard that it is easy to carve deep on those narrow boards. Is it harder to link turns on a skwal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr D Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 linking turns is easier because you are so forward in the stance angles. The narrow waist makes it possible. you couldn't use those angles on a wider board but they work well on the skwal. If you ski or used to you will find that its very similiar in a lot of ways as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr D Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 anybody else notice the sudden disappearance of these? Sham auction maybe? I got nervous with the payment arrangements to poland. and then they were gone off both .com and .pl sites. Watch yourselves on the big yardsale they are having problems with foreign hacking and sham listings using other peoples accounts. It happened to my account and took 2 weeks to sort out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manera78 Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Hi, don't know if it of any interest but we have a 100 pics of skwal turns and life here. We actualy do both but skwal boards if the snow conditions are good, having reduced torsion, give a strange and amazing feeling of stability... wow...
