    Hey guys, a few of you might have seen how I surf on my Hellfire, Sweet Potato & Potatonator video clips, so now I'm entertaining adding the vanguard to the quiver.

    Suggestions on the size that might suit me? Also, will it only be RF released first off in Oz?

    megsy will you share your board sizes again? for some reason your signature is hidden. I will say, however, based on what you currently ride, the Vanguard should fit in nicely.

    Honestly the vanguard will fit into most quivers because there aren't a lot of boards that simulate its ride. there are boards that are geared for similar waves, but none that mimic its foam distribution, shape and bottom channels. Those make the board ultra unique.

    Cheers

    cheers!

    Hey Chris,

    502 Sweet Potato FST 32.2ltr (going to drop down to the 500 SP 28.9ltr because 502 32.2ltr has just a touch too much volume)
    504 Potatonator FST 28.2ltr
    505 El Fuego FST 24.8ltr (about to sell it or trade in)
    508 Hellfire FST 27.2ltr

    I'm 175cm (5'9") & weigh 70kg (155lb)
    501 Baked Potato (Technograin)
    504 Potatonator
    508 Hellfire

    3+ longer than BP is what I'd personally be going but it depends how your BP is volumed I guess.
