About this item
CRAFTED FOR CARVING – The Loaded Vanguard brings lightweight snowboard-inspired construction and performance to the pavement. Camber, sidecuts, and high-energy flex allow for responsive carving, pumping, and commuting.
ELEGANT DESIGN – Tapered shape maximizes wheel clearance for deep carves and tight turns. Sidecuts reduce torsional stiffness between the feet for greater nuances in the turning radius. Mild concave provides edge-to-edge control, while the topmount and cambered platform provides energetic carving performance.
LIGHT AND LIVELY – Lightweight, snowboard-inspired bamboo and fiberglass construction pair with a cambered profile for a lively and engaging ride.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE FLEX – Bamboo and fiberglass provide lively and energetic flex perfect for hard carving and pumping. Available in two sizes and five flex ratings to tailor the ride to your stance, weight, and style. Lower flex is ideal for heavier riders; higher flex is recommended for lighter riders or those looking for a more responsive board.

Awesome board, amazing flex.

first of all, this board looks amazing, the art on the bottom and the finish look great. The ahipping was fast, I got mine in 2 days. I ordered a flex 1, I am about 245 lbs. and it feels amazing under my feet. The board has the perfect amount of flex for me. The board is huge, and the trucks go on the outer ends so it has a very large wheel base. Ive been riding this board more than 2 weeks and I don’t have a single complaint about it.

My daughter loves it!!

Picked this up for my daughter for Christmas to replace an older (out of style) longboard. We loaded her hardware up on the vanguard and took her out for a spin. She couldn't be happier with this gift and there hasn't been a clear weather day that she hasn't been on it enjoying it.

Factory Blem was worth it.

I used this board to make a boosted-like eboard. Saving money on a great deck felt good. In fact the factory blemish was covered buy an enclosure anyways! Went for a Flex 2 over Flex 3 Boosted uses because I ride at or above 25mph frequently. Feels like surfing the street!

Flex me GOOOOOD!

it's the sweetest ride you will ever have. make sure you get the right flex for your weight and you will be rewarded big time. It's quite on the road does not send bad vibes and it just feels awesome.

Best board for carving!

The flex on this board is wicked! Perfect for popping in and out of carves. Pair this with some In Heats for some extra bounce or Caguamas to ride over anything!

Very high quality

This deck is great! I’m 120 pounds but I decided to get the flex 3 because I didn’t want too much flex. I was skeptical when I heard it has spray on grip tape, but it actually works pretty well. The only downside of it is that it’s kinda flaky at first. I’ve been using this board to cruise around and do some slight downhill and it hasn’t failed me yet.

Crappy company to work with, and board is too skinny.

Too skinny for a good longboard, and the company charged me a 20% restocking fee when I never even opened the product. There are much better boards and companies to choose from out there. Don't support this one! 🧐
