What's better - the Vault Pintail 46 or the Malibu 55
The 46" Pintail gives a better turning circle and a bit more of a performance board and the 55" is more of a cruiser and "here I am" sort of board good to hang ten and show off.
Which would be better for a beginner, the Pin 46 or Malibu ?
The 46" Pintail would be better for a beginner as it will turn better and is easier to use but it will also suit you when you become more experienced and want to push it a bit harder.
Just got the board and am wondering whether i need to loosen the trucks heaps to get carving, or whether it will just take time for me to learn with semi-loosened trucks
The trucks can be loosened to suit the rider, but be aware that the looser the trucks the, more chance of speed wobbles at speed.
Can this board slide well and if so what hardness of wheels should be used ?
You will get some slide when you use the board for a while and the wheels get some coating on them. To get good sliding you really need harder wheels like the Vault 83As.
Hi, i am thinking of purchasing this product but i am concerned about the strength of the 7 ply plywood. i weigh about 95kg and i am unsure about the strength of this plywood and whether there would be excessive flex. can you please let me know whether this board would be strong enough for my weight (i would be using it for cruising and carving). thanks.
It will be okay for 95kg and will work well. There will be a fair amount of flex but this board will handle your weight ok.

It will be OK for 95kg and will work well. There will be a fair amount of flex but it will be OK and a good setup for you.
Is the 46 good for going down hills ?
The 46" is a good all-rounder and is still good for downhills as the long wheel base makes it fairly stable.
I am interested in getting something that I can learn to pump along flat surfaces, but also want something that can still turn and carve down small hills... Is it easier to pump if your board is longer? Would it be hard to learn to pump on a board under 40''? I have been looking at the Vault pintail 46'' longboard and the Psycho streamline 38''. What are the pros/cons of these two boards? Can they both be used for pumping along flat surfaces?
For the best carving performance, you want a board with looser, turnier trucks and the Streamline would be the best choice if that’s most important to you but it’s not a great downhill speed board as the trucks are not meant for it. if you really want to pump, then a longer board will be better so go for the Pintail 46.
