Chris,

Can you give us an idea of the boards performance/ease of use/grovellability compared with the vanguard ?

The 5'10 sits better at my preferred vol then any of the vanguards avaliable...

yeah i have always loved the idea of RF but have always bought FST for durability. I also try to future proof as much as I can to get something that will last and not have me reaching for the next...

I'm sizing down also and switching to a BP, my sweet potato is a beast at 5'2 when u weigh 70kg, I clicked with it from the get go but hoping for even more magic from a down size. Recon switching to...

Yeh I think i remember reading Stuart Kennedy told megsy he should be on a 5'2 at 70kg. No way I'm going that low on vol though, maybe a 5'4, if you think the 5'6 is too much it may well be too much...

Pmorgan, I think something in the 27 ltr range will be ideal after waaay too much thought about too many boards!, ideally in timber tek would be the icing on the cake and would stop my terrible...

WMck9 I got Front Mediums with the bigger of the two sets of rears (I think they are called QM, they had two options when i bought them) they have a huge base on them! very solid feeling. I emailed...

5'5 in timbertek and il be 100% dead set sold, however dont know if il be able to wait for that

hope there is demand or I click with a 5'4 then

cheers, il get the demo 5,6 out, if i think i can il go 5'4, if it seems crazy still il wait for the 5'5 even though it could be a while

PRJ - good advice,
I will do that, 5'4 does look pretty small though, it is quite a big drop
might have to wait for a 5'5 to come out, that should be on the way right?

Im becoming sold on the VG, its pushing the CC and UB aside now, the idea of the potato in better waves is really appealing!,

whats the consensus on vol, do you drop lower or stay in your ideal...

thanks PRJ, i will certainly try out the demo down at DTL before I jump on my next HP purchase, I love the SP so much I often surf it in waves I should be on other boards, I have always thought of...

Nice one, I'm considering applying for a permanent residency visa for aus myself. Iv got enough points to qualify. This long uk winter has made me think about aus again (did the working holiday visa...

Yeh I have a 5'6 Dom and I find that grovels well it will Defintely do till you sell it and get your hands on that BP !

That is good to know! Defintley gonna try and check that out for sure! Thanks

Thanks pmorgan, Appeeciate the feedback. I'm now decided on a BP 5'1 timbertek at 29.3 volume(deposits down) It's ashame because I found a 2nd hand fst potatonator 5'4 mint condition for 375. But I'm...

PRJ glad to hear your loving the vanguard, I saw one out at fistral before easter, looked interesting, are they doing demos anywhere in cornwall you know of?
The V4 is kind of on my mind against the...

i like my indo controllers, but my favourite fins are my c-drives, ordered from aus with current exchange rate was fairly expensive (free shipping though!) compared to the indos but they have me...

Potato family boards = fun I don't think I'd ever be without one of them

I'd say get the hf in a 5'8 when you get used to that volume in a couple weeks or so get the 5'1 BP. At that point the 29.3...

Nelson. I'm waiting for my 5'1 BP to be delivered in techno grain/timber tek. It's not arriving in the uk for a good few months yet I'm afraid. Megsy has one already in aus so you might be more lucky...

I'm about your weight + height, have a 5'2 sp but just put a deposit down on a 5'1 timber tek BP. 32 odd litres defintley works at around 70 but id say it feels fairly corky, I'm hoping I'm making...

Megsy,
Thanks a lot for that, it's really invaluable to helping me make a good decision ! I'm going to put in my order for a 5'1 its going to be quite a wait but looking forward to getting that...

Could you answer me a couple other questions megsy as I'm going down 3L i have a few worries...

1) is the 5'1 BP as fast as the 5'2 sp

2) is the 5'1 BP as easy to ride as the 5'2(Or close to)...

nice work megsy, really appreciate you posting up the reviews and videos, you being the same height and weight as me is really helpful with my board choices.
5'1 timbertek BP is now on the list...

thats another "want" on my list after reading this thread, glad technograin BPs arnt coming out till Q3 in the UK so I have a chance to save a bit of cash

Megsy im pretty much the same weight...
