Do you have young kids Iggy? Looks like they have taken to your boards with crayons and finger paint..how very "Dane Reynolds" of you.

Not yet, expecting my first one in June... and it's a boy so I guess practicing for when he comes

Hey Pukas, have not have the conditions to ride the Vanguard yet, but a grosso modo this is waht I see:
The vanguard has to be seen in person. You don't get the idea of the nose and the contours until you hold the board in your hands.
1)For starters, the straigh line on the board from nose to tail gives this board a great planning area which has a reduced resistance to the water, hence making the board really fast.
2)Most of the foam on the board is located under the chest/front foot which makes the board paddle ok (it is true that the board will preffer better waves) despite the configuration.
3)The board has some sort of little spines on the corners of the nose which, combined with the single concave and rocker, makes for the nose no to pearl.

Since I coudn't surf the board due to lack of waves, I took it out for a paddle just to see how it floated. @89Kgs 6/4 suit with 5mm gloves and 7mm boots, I was surprised with the way the 5'6" held my weight. I can't but wait for some surf to actually get this one a try. Innovative design, crazy engineering in it
Now compared to the spit, the biggest difference will be on the range of conditions they both cover, with the Spitfire handling the bigger one.
Performance wise, the spit will not be as fast as the VG. If you are a competent surfer on the aereal game and your normal conditions tend to be on the good range, the VG is a board you wanna have around. I do see the VG on a quiver as an HP board with a Potatonator or a Spitfire alongside.
Can't get enough of looking at the board.
Any news if this one will be offered in FST or the contours will make it hard?
