Practically indestructible and more Loaded than ever. These lively bamboo composite boards offer the finest ride legally available and are the most popular longboards we sell.

Advanced technology, innovative design and a commitment to using only the finest ingredients have led to this amazing evolution in longboarding. With symmetrical shape and stance for a balanced center of gravity, as well as the ability to weigh and un-weigh the deck through turns for control and efficient energy generation, these performance downhill boards will change the way you experience topography. Made in USA!

Flex Choices: The Vanguard is currently available in five flexes. Check out the flex drop menu above to determine the most appropriate board for your stance weight and style.
  1. Flex 1: 42” 175-230+ lbs.
  2. Flex 2: 42” 150-210 lbs.
  3. Flex 3: 38” 150-200 lbs.
  4. Flex 4: 38” 120-170 lbs.
  5. Flex 5: 38” 80-140 lbs.
Keep in mind that a softer flex pattern will give you more control and tighter turns at a wide range of speeds, but tend to lose stability slightly at higher speeds. Stiffer flex means more energy potential and more stability at higher speeds, but will not be as forgiving and lively when cruising.

  • Vertically Laminated Bamboo

    1. Flex 1: 42”L 8.5”W, 37” Wheelbase

    sweet board
    gav (michigan) 5/11/2010 4:22 PM
    This was my first longboard, and I loved it. I got randals 180's with some abec11 zigzags. It shipped fast and I loved the way it carved. The flex 4 was awesome as well. It says its top speed is recommended for only 25-30mph, but I didn't get any speed wobble until 45-50mph. Now I have to get another one since some broke into my car and stole my old one got along with my skateboard.

    Still my favorite

    This was my first REAL longboard. Had Gullwing Sidewinder trucks, and 90mm Flywheels (yeah it was high). Best cruiser I ever had, and the bamboo flex acted like a shock absorber over bumps and cracks. With Bones Swiss Bearings, one pump and you'll go the distance before you need to pump again. Highly recommended for the rider that plans to longboard across the country. I've had a Pintail, and Dervish, and currently a Landy DH Race. The Vanguard still stands as my favorite. Gave it to a friend that moved away.

    I ordered the vanguard off this site with paris 180's and o-tang in heat wheels, and it is SWEET. The free shipping delivered in 8 days, and the transaction went fine. I got the flex 4 and I'm about 120 pounds, which is the lowest recommended weight for the flex, but it's still super flexy! It's great for carving up flat streets, just cruising around town, or mellow hills, but it does get a little shaky at higher speeds. The price may seem a little high, but trust me, it's totally worth it.

    AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

    I have the vanguard (chargers, o'tang in heat 80a) and the dervish and i love them both, but the vanguard is definitely better for flatland cruising. sure it gets shaky when downhilling, but that's not the point of the board - its a free ride board - if you want to go over 30 mph you should get the dervish, its a great downhill board. but if you need a board for transportation or just some fun flatland cruising or mellow hills, definitely go for the vanguard, you won't be disappointed. By the way daddies is awesome i got both my boards and they have the best shipping and service!
