Hi,
Today for a new board you can just choose with the Lacroix X1 see <a href='http://www.ski-lacroix.com/skwalgbfl.htm' target='_blank'>Lacroix website</a> (I've one and i think that's OK for a beginner) and MPride <a href='http://www.mpride.net/index.php?setLang=en' target='_blank'>Xrace 173 and Xrace 183</a> (never tested) Otherwise, you must search for a second hand board like Thias FC 180 or Thias 173F... Good luck Planches : The Fall'US / Home Made tout mou & tout dur / Qq planches d'archive & splits
Hey Shama!
Thanks for your advice! is difficult to find this tipe of board but I 'll try it, it's a beautiful and different style to ride, I have'nt see many people on the slopes riden, only one rider in Pas de la Casa in Andorra last year. but was nice see it riden. Greets Sito
i guess you got a good advice from shama, however i'd like to add something:
Be careful, not all the alpine snowboard bindings will go on a skwal... some cant be set up 180° arround, or a too wide... tell us what are your bindings and/or post pictures of them. welcome on skwalzone by the way
Hi Sito,
Where are you from? Spain? I'll be in Toulouse this winter so if you want I can bring some boards to try in Andorre one week end. If you are a high skilled alpine racer and you are looking mainly for hard carve you should take the mpride, if you want a board more polyvalent that you can use more easily under all conditions (small crowded slopes for instance or powder), the Lacroix X1 should more suit your needs Cheers :: Thias FC180, SK200, 173°F, RS176 carbone, FC165 ::

Pete, I was measure f2 ti, and they are to wide, they don't work for skwal, also I have an older snowpro very strech , the same than snowpro- thias but they don't like me because the bail don't have a good quality in his construction :angry: , and the bail go out of the binding when I ride hard with my race board,they are very dangerous. :angry:
I have try buying some skwal from ebay but I haven't good luck. But I hope to buy one, today there are an lacroix contest 180 on ebay I'll try to buy, is a good skwal?? Sito
Its the board with the hardest structure you can find, so it is very good if you want high speed but you need a lot of room to make your curves. It's not very adapted to slopes of the Pyrénées.
You'd better get a skwal with a short radius like a Thias Easy jungle, Lacroix X1 :: Thias FC180, SK200, 173°F, RS176 carbone, FC165 ::
