What does the swallowtail bit actually do? Is it stability?

As Champ says, but it only comes into effect if the snow is deeper than
the width of one of the tails.

Also, as the board is 180cm long and very stiff, it's really a "big gun"
for above tree line powder riding. Trying to make fast turns on narrow
paths that you get at the bottom of bowls, through the trees etc, can be
entertaining for everyone not riding it.

I probably wouldn't buy another one though and would instead go for
something like the Burton Fish or Prior Khyber.

But on those days when it's the right tool for the job, it's awesome.
