KEY INFO
Performance focused, the Vanguard is a responsive, mid-high stiffness freestyle monster. Redesigned for 2018, its high volume shaped rails add strength and smoothness to this aggressive deck, enhancing comfort and still delivering a balanced high end feel whilst loading up and landing high-end pop tricks. Featuring deep base channeling and a reinforced core it grips on take off, disperses water on landing, and gives back the level of performance and energy a high end rider puts in.
TECH FEATURES
OUTLINE, ROCKER & FLEX
- A low to mid level of flex creates ultimate energy transfer and rider feedback.
- Its rocker’s short, flat midsection which leads into a higher tip curve, offers a high speed board which snaps an aggressive and progressive cut when building tension for jumps.
- The mid to high level of outline makes the board lively under foot and always ready to cut a new edge.
BOARD FEATURES
- Deep base channels and tip-to-tip spine enhance tracking and grip.
- High volume ABS rail boosts strength, stiffness and smoothness.
- Traction+ strap, pad and fin set included.
TRACTION+ PAD & STRAP SET
- Reinforced fiberglass and Paulownia wood core creates a strong and responsive flex pattern.
- Internal carbon reinforcement panels increase strength and flex rebound.
TRACTION+ PAD & STRAP SET
Complemented by its straps and pads, Axis's Traction+ system is a high-end, 2-part set with an integrating base plate and strap kit. Constructed of variable density EVA foam sitting on a formed plastic base, the pads offer complete comfort and grip through their shaped impact absorption and multiple stance options. Linking firmly to the straps, the Traction+ set offers a high level of hold and support through a series of custom fitting Velcro straps which lock down the stiff and supportive neoprene covered webbing top section. Fitting a wide range of foot shapes the Traction+ is as supportive as straps get.
