    190+ cm swallow tail pow ski. Does it exist?

    So picture this:
    You are floating down a picturesque spine, the snow grazing your elbows as you steal the turns out of a dream you once had, making it all a reality. The skis take on a life of their own in this terrain, but are responsive to your every desire, enlivening you to carry on and enjoy. As the dance carries you further down the slope a diving board materializes, granting take off to those who are worthy. The silky turns are replaced by an effortless flight through the crisp mountain air. Touchdown brings you back to reality, but this reality is the dream so you can't be too mad about that.

    Through the runout you are already reliving the moment, holding onto the taste of ecstasy. A lady-ripper, unimpressed, awaits your arrival at the bottom. When she lays eyes on your sweet swallow tail pow rippers she immediately awes in amazement of how cool you are.

    So do these exist?

    Wasn't there an old Kingswood swallowtail?

    I was going to mention the Sanook too. I have a pair of Capital Thrashers in my garage, which are 121mm underfoot with a swallowtail, and I think 190cm? Maybe they were 188cm. Beautiful wood topsheets on them. The shape hauled ass, the only thing missing is some real rocker. They're sitting unmounted now, but I might need to mount them back up for a reunion day this winter.

    Strange timing on this thread. I’ve been aggressively selling off skis this year, trying to get down to <20, and today I was going to post up my Moment comi kazis (marketed as 194 back then, but shorter than that) for sale. They’re in great shape and kill it on the deepest days. Now that I see that Moment has reissued ‘em I’m getting nostalgic & dunno if I should sell them ...

    I think the old DB Tabla Rasas or however you spell it might fit those dimensions. I think they were pre-rocker or right when skis started having more rocker.
