got any photos of your swallow @Snurfer ??
cambered profile?
Do you ever come up to Canuckistan??

@Snurfer – I get Error 404 when I click on the link to the review. I’d be interested to read it.

@Snurfer Thanks for pic. It appears from pics online that this years model is shorter in height and looks “Stumpy”. They are both a very classy, simple looking boot. i am interested to see how they work this season.

^ Nice!
Sweet with the textured swallowtail @Snurfer. At first I was skeptical about the textured bases. After touring this weekend, I’m like, “you know what, that might be nice right about now.”

Wait, by my calculations. . .

@mar123 you should read my latest post in the TLT6 boot mod thread. I discuss some of the advantages and tradeoffs to doing some of the mods.

But yes, the boots are colder than my soft boots. There are things you can do, like buy some of these DryGuy Boot Gloves for the cold days.…[Read more]

Congrats on the new endeavor! Interested to see what your other products will be. I fall in line with @Snurfer, low weight and low avy with the panel-loading style of @Taylor

Yes, I’m not a big fan of driving in general and even less of fan of frivolous fuel consumption (personal choice not an outward indictment of what others choose to do). Besides that whole area (Beaver) gave me the creeps.

That is up high, I took the photo from the pass at 10K’. Unless you plan on walking up and riding those patches of snow there…[Read more]

Dan – I went to http://utahskimo.org/ to check out the races you’re talking about. Where are the races held? Maybe I’m blind but I didn’t see any maps or race details. Just vagueries about Wasatch or Logan races.

FWIW – You can totally split a swallowtail. I think Snurfer and Firstlight are swallowtail devotees and have experience splitting their own.

Ask yourself this; how much money and time are you willing to part with? Is it worth the gamble to discover you don’t like the overall experience of both ascending and descending? Are the ascents you are likely to undertake, really that tough?

Thanks Bob! I’ll PM you this W/E with details, FB info, etc…
In a nutshell, if your blunt nosed and swallowtail boards merged with Adam’s large radii board it would be fairly close to my design.
The specs are an amalgamation of a Winterstick Swallow, Voile V-Tail and Gentem Mantaray.

Barrows, my idea of reasonable is…

Don’t know if it holds much promise for folks interested in the specs, but didn’t Jive mention that both Revelator’s he test rode had no scales?

As far as waxing/skins; it’s a simple matter not to drip wax on that section if you don’t want to have to clean it off. And the intention from Voile appears to be that one uses both the…
