i think thats a mistake in the description. there is a small notch/swallow tail but the larger portion is not removable, at least I've never heard of anyone removing it. The swallow tail is a way to help the tail sink in the pow and therefore point the tip around and help turn the ski. In adition to the swallow these bad boys have reverse camber or "rocker", which allows the ski to turn more easily then EVER before. I've got a full season on the rocker and love them!You cannot remove the swallow tail.
