Sandrino are you looking for feedback on the 2013 specifically or also the latest 2014?
I've joined the Kitepower team recently and have been riding the 2014 Limited for a month now, which I believe is the full carbon stiffer&lighter version of the Vanguard (and therefore more $$).
I've rode it both in choppy Botany Bay and butter smooth Safety Bay, and I must say it's a seriously awesome board! Coming from the Xenon Laluz and Infra I developed a taste for light fast boards with soft landing, and the Limited managed to be even better at that. I'm fairly tall and ~85kg so riding the 138*42.5 with widest stance. It's so incredibly light it's got a hard to describe "precise light and direct" feeling, like an extension of your legs instead of a heavy thing dragging water. Also lands really nicely, not softer than a Xenon but without shaking/moving at all, probably thanks to the big channels. I do get more spray than on the Infra, but that would be because of the stance sensibly wider. Been meaning to weight it and measure the stance to put figures on them, I'll post them here later if you want.
I guess the regular Vanguard would be very similar, hopefully you can get your hands on a demo and get a feel for yourself!
