Hi, in this short video I show you the combo FS Stoke 9/FireWire Vanguard 5'3 in action in crappy wind/waves conditions. My weight is 76 Kilos so I used the Vanguard 5'3 with a thruster fin set "S", finding the board way more responsive in small waves than with the "M". I also set the Stoke front bridles in the "freeride mode" and not in the "wave mode" because the wind was on/off so I needeed more power. Despite the conditions this combo worked very well and I had a lot of fun.
