The word skwal originates from the french language: "squale" is a shark species. 1992 the ski- and snowboardteacher Patrick "Thias" Balmain invented the skwal, which is wider than a single ski and smaller than a monoski and where the bindings are mounted one after the other like a water-monoski (water-slalomski). Völkl produced the skwal under the name of monocarver, the inventor Thias founded his company Thiaskwal. The body position is unlike snowboarding symmetrically directed to the front like skiing, you can use ski poles for learning. Skwal is optimally proper for extreme carving, because both feet load completely one edge; that is unique among the pieces of winter sports equipment.
