Skwal comparison

[Badger]

Hello fellow skwalers,

Winter is approaching so I am thinking about a new skwal. Do you have opinions on which model I should go for. I have carved with 165 easy jungle, 173 F, monocarver ( and teleboard). Lately I have been mainly using my old 173 F. As I ski mostly in Finland the slope specs are: Narrow, short and often crowded. I like speed, but Monocarver is often too fast for the slope conditions. Should I be looking at MPride 173 or Lagriffe RS176. Thanks for your opinions and let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

The RS 176 is a board for beginner with medium flex and made for an allround riding.
The Mpride Xrace 173 is very good board for short curves and relatively high speed even if the xrace 183 is better for race.

Note that new boards will be send by Lagriffe : MR173 see here http://skwalzone.org/forums3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3091&p=29154#p29154 (sorry in french but I will prepare a english version asap)...

A pic of the new Thias Easyrider prototype as previously announced. The one on the right-hand-side being far less rigid than the one on the left-hand.
relatively-short board: 160cm- long and wider than typical skwals for more ease of use and flexibility (e.g. free-ride)
