 Hello everyone. Thanks for tuning in to surf station board reviews today's review. We're going to be going over the firewire Vanguard This guy right here at first glance. She doesn't look like much Doesn't really look like a surfboard But don't let appearance fool you because I've written this thing many times in many conditions and the thing works First off, let's go over the bottom of the board As you can see it has a 5-inch setup with futures Currently been riding it as a thruster the board holds so much speed in it already that if you have a quad You know, you're just you're adding more speed where you don't really need to the quad will help in steeper-faced waves Slightly bigger surf it'll help bite in a little more But I found that the thruster works best for the conditions that we have here in St. Augustine the board features a single concave all the way through the bottom Which is great for smaller mushier flatter face waves The more surface area you have on the bottom faster You're going to be able to go with doing minimal effort minimal pumping and things like that Speed speed speed that is the name of the game with this board. It's incredibly fast In any type of ways in any conditions whether it's you know head high and chunky or it's waste time really mushy the thing goes You want to ride this board about four to six inches shorter than your normal shortboard and Don't be scared by how narrow the board is This is a five four most five fours. I would probably ride around 19 inches wide This thing's barely 18 inches wide Don't let that discourage you though the epoxy construction along with the thicker rails wider tail and wider nose could be plenty of volume and plenty of float fouling in the waves Overall it's a really fun board this right here is a five four surf station demo So if you're a little skeptical come in try it check it out And you'll be sure to love it check us out online at surf station store comms. Have a good day
