FUNCTIONAL 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.
CURVACEOUS CONFIDENCE
Lightweight, snowboard-inspired bamboo and fiberglass construction pair with a cambered profile for a lively and engaging ride.
LIGHT & DURABLE
Available in two sizes and multiple 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.
SUPER SAP
Bio-based epoxy by Entropy Resins. Uses bio-based materials from industrial waste streams such as tree sap to replace petroleum content and reduce the carbon footprint of the epoxy from manufacturing. We've worked closely with Entropy to enhance every major performance characteristic of the resin. Better for the planet, even more fun.
RAPIDLY RENEWABLE
At the core of what makes the Vanguard great is bamboo. Bamboo grows up to 35x faster than traditional hardwoods, absorbs more CO₂, and regenerates naturally without replanting, making it a powerhouse of sustainability for high-performance skateboards.
