Just curious how much of a radical departure the vanguard is ride-wise compared to the performance hybrid line of firewires...
I have a 6'0 spitfire that works great for waist to chest... (I'm 6'3 and 210lbs) intermediate/advanced ability....
The 5'10 vanguard has me curious...
Wondering if the ride will be similar from a skill set perspective...

Just wondering when these will be available in southern california?

Hi,

I was wondering what size Spit to get... I'm 6'3, 210 pounds dry, 38 yrs old, and intermediate/advanced ability. I mostly surf LA county beach breaks - Venice/el porto/Zuma/County line.
I was looking at the 6'2 or the 6'0, although I feel that the 6'0 may be a hair small... also going into the season when I will be wearing a 4/3 wetsuit, so that will probably add a couple of pounds....
I plan on using it from waist to a little overhead beach breaks... mostly walled and racy, somewhat punchy...
