Skwals

I wanted to ask. Do people see many Skwals around europe now ?. I just wondered how rare they are.
I managed to pick up an older model last season. It's a lot of fun.

Pretty unusual... I saw a couple of Italian guys on them at La Rosiere a couple of seasons back. Black suits, wraparound shades and getting their carves so rad that they looked like their shoulders were grazing the snow - an enduring image of the ultimate cool! 8)

There's a small "community" of skwal (sp?) riders in the Aravis too - French area where you often see guys riding monos and swallow-tail snowboards too...

I'd love to have a go - I'm guessing but it looks like you need some momentum to keep your balance, a bit like riding a bike???

Anyone here ridden one?

You can take skwal lessons in La Rosiere, the ex French and World champion Christel Bizel is an instructor with the ESF.
