My in-depth review post
The Loaded Vanguard is the ultimate carving and pumping machine. Unparalleled for high-energy flex and snowboard-like feel – a favorite among intense carving enthusiasts.
This amazing deck comes in sizes 38″ and 42″, with five different flex options to suit your weight and riding style.
Lightweight bamboo + fiberglass construction provides a very unique, high-energy return flex and a smooth, super responsive ride that feels like you’re bouncing on a trampoline.
What sets the Vanguard apart is its exceptional carving experience. The cambered profile and sidecuts give you precise control and make your turns feel effortless. In addition to carving, the Vanguard excels at distance pumping and daily commuting too.
Riders swear by its durability, many use it daily for over 6 to 12 years without issues.
Some riders love dancing on the Vanguard 42″, despite the absence of kicks, thanks to the super easy carving on this deck.
Stock complete setups include the standard 75mm In Heats, the Monster Trucks with 85mm Caguamas (super fast and super responsive), and the Grave Digger with the monstrous 105mm Dad Bods (ride over anything at sonic speeds).
Watch my deep dive and find out why this board is so beloved by the riding community.
