philfell Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 If you are refering to a "split tail" the way I interpet it F2 never made a split tail board. Also split tails were a G.S. board design, you probably never will find one in a 156, unless it was totally custom made for someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Donnelly Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 This is a powder board I am looking for, and the length is 172 - "Lancelot". Have seen a few available in Europe, both new and used but the shipping made the deal prohibitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nils Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Pat, I'd recommend avoiding the Lancelot. Among all the Swallowtails on the market, it is the one with the worst flex design. It is a marketed board that F2 should have spend more times fine tuning before releasing to be franck... There are many swallowtails (not split tails) available, both in north america ( Nitro, Prior, Voilé, Winterstick) and in Europe ( Swellpanik, Miura, Pogo, Rossignol, O'sin/Dynastar.... and you'll have boards that will be really better than the Lancelot if you choose any of those brands...The O'sin for example is a nice powder board that carves bits and seems easy to find in the US. The new nitro pow has also a new flex that makes it stiffer and better for hard booters... Hope this helps :) Nils PS: got nothing against F2 in general, they just made the bad board this time :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lopata Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 I have F2 Lancelot 172 02-03 It very stiff and not tight waist:( http://www.f2-snow.com/2003/PRODUKTE/BOARDS/lancelot/lancelot.html I buy it like universal board, but think to change for Rad-Air Tanker 172-182 Lancelot very stable on various slops Lancelot ride not like ST but like standart very stiff freeride board Lancelot not a Swallowtails!!!

Mats Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 Hey Nils, I think it works great with hardboots. Maybe it´s not the ultimate powderboard (youre the expert!) but it´s sure stiff. And it works good both on and off piste. Maybe that´s the problem - it´s a compromise. And now out of production... Have fun in Aspen (you are going there are you not?) - I just came back after 11 days. The conditions are exellent! /Mats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
