: Anyone use it? any reviews? What do you think about Swallowtail? Understand that response you get may refer to boards made by the original company many years ago - the current company has kept the name and a few board names, but I believe they have redone the designs at least in part. No idea on who/where they are being made either. |

What do you think about Swallowtail? I saw one on the "Future Snowboarding" powder board test a couple of weeks back. You'll have to wait for next season for the review. It looks a lot like the old boards in some ways - a very radical shape. Of course the bindings are the same as most people now use: still crude in engineering terms, but people seem to manage to side slip on them quite well ;-) Swallowtails generally: I think it's a poor engineering solution to the problem of powder-board tail design. I've seen a fair few people proudly bring their STs into a helicopter only to dump it as soon as they can... they're ok in straight lines, but apparently rather poor in trees, which kind of figures if you compare them with tree boards. Try before you buy. And budget for a proper powder board (Malolo or Fish) once you've retired the ST to hand above your fireplace. |
