I'm currently surfing a 5ft 6in Dominator and I've a lot of uptalk on the Vanguard and I'm looking into getting one. What size would be good for me? I'm about 6ft 1in and 150lb..
Thanx
Vanguard??

5'4" is a safe bet I reckon
length might be the challenge here. How`s your surfing these days
165cms 89Kgs dry...working on that at the moment...but not working!!! :)
Potato 5'2" /Vanguard 5'6"/Potatonator 5'8"/ Spitfire 5'8" / Quadraflex 6'0" / Flexflight 9'0"
Fins: Elevons, Solus, Controlllers, Jordy,AM2,
I dunno, the length would be close to Tomo's original sizing advice.
I am also very confused on what size to go for. I ride a 5,8 Sc 27.3 litres I am an average surfer fit but don't like feeling that I am struggling to get a board into waves. The 5"6 seems a tad too much vol but the 5"4 seems too little. Will the shape of this board really make that big of a difference. I Live in northern Scotland at Thurso and our waves have punch but I want the VG as an all rounder. Any thoughts?. I am 5"7 70 kgs.

I'd def go 5'4 at your height and weight. Iggy with nearly 20kg on you said the 506 paddles good for him in 6/5/4. I've got a 5'6 on the way at 77kg but really feel like the 5'4 would go good... I wish I could demo both.
6'0" - 77kg - 170lbs

Cheers Prj it's always tough when you can't demo boards we have trouble getting wax up here. Thank God for Msw.
