Vanguard vs Dervish

**taylor.thad** · 02-15-2010 01:35 PM

Hey, I'm thinking about buying a new board. Right now i have a beat up Loaded Vanguard Flex 2 (150-200+ lbs) and I only weigh about 125. I really like this board but was considering buying a Flex 4 Vanguard because it is 120-170 lbs and it is only 38", the Flex 2 is 42".

I was either going to get the Vanny or a Dervish because they are both bamboo boards ( I can't skate anything else now it doesn't feel right.) but I tried a Dervish the other day and I missed the springiness of the Vanguard.

The only thing I wish was different about the Vanguard was that it was made drop-thru instead of topmount.

What should I do?

Vanguard flex 4

i had a vanguard , sold it got a dervish and it was no where near as lively / fun as my dervish. If youw ant to do tricks the dervish is good but i just wanted a really fun carvy ride so i wish i didnt get rid of my vanguard
