redia Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Avec votre poids de 225lbs c’est une 175 H que sa vous prend au minimum si vous voulez avoir un bon pop et encore plus avec la XH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryj Posted January 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) Hey Redia........I don' read French but I can tell you are trying to tell me I'm supposed to be on a H or XH flex Swoard for my weight. Well I've had this conversation with Patrice and Nils and all the Swoard guys many, many times. I let them talk me into a Gen 5 EC Hard flex and Hated it! Maybe it's my 61 year old legs or/and that I've always ridden shorter/softer boards.....but I love and can EC my Swoard Dual 168 )which the Swoard guys cringe every time they here this cause they thought I'd Snap it!), hated my Virus 163 UFC...(Well, I loved the Board, but my thighs hated it!) Love and can EC my Swoard EC 175 Medium Flex and had ZERO fun or ability to bend/ride the Hard Flex Gen 5 Swoard EC! Patrice and Nils know and understand that I am an anomaly and call me the 1% Their Weight to Length/Flex Charts Doesn't Work For.....................

By the way Petr send me a video he made showing various conditions carving on the ECPro gen1, shows you can with good legs and technique carve a board almost in any condition! The shape allows for softer turns in moguls too! ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
