Opus 2 "Extreme Dreamer" shows the Swoard team in 2001-2002 using the final prototypes that lead to the Extremecarver model, the first extremecarving board of the market.

Specific setup: modified hard boots (soft and long springs), reduced bindings angles and... the original extremecarving snowboards, which are wide alpine boards, not stiff longitudinall...
