Those are good dims IMO. I might go 2 9/16. Here is my old one. 5’9, 19 5/8, 2 9/16, based on a slimmed down version of RK’s personal. Mine was still HP and I’m around your size, a touch lighter right now.
Fwiw mine is 5’7x19x2.5
And yours is probably the best one ever made, or at least top 2.
I would say Vader 2. The Vader 2 is starting to feel more and more like the sweet spot is HH and below. The wide point feels like it is below center and with that wide diamond tail its feeling really good in the small stuff. I think the Vader 2 would out perform the Evo on small stuff.
sorry but i’m triggered by that leash wrapping around the fins…
Really, wow. I havent ridden a Vader or vanguard, but they are nearly an inch narrower than evo/revo at same volume for me. That would be far narrower than any HPSB I ride, so have always thought of these boards as being much more hp than groveller.
I'm still working it out, but I think it's the wide tail and the parallel outline that makes me think of it as a good groveler. It has a nice low exit rocker that has been working well in recent mushy oside waves.
I rode the V2 in some pretty good size OH waves from this last W swell and it went good, but it seems to excel in the junky waves. Good paddler, short, wide tail. Good pivot with the diamond tail. It checks all the boxes.

The Revo has channels running throught the Vee, but the Vader seems to just have Vee (no channels) that blends into a quad inside single behind the fins. The feel different but similar.
Here is the Vee hull from the front.
Here it is from the back.
Does Mrs Frosty know you used the table for the shots lol?
Hells no! She was sound asleep in the bedroom and I made sure to not leave a trace of evidence that any surfboard was remotely close to "her" table.
I don't think I'll ever own a foil board. No matter who makes it. lol.
Yep! It has been working great in the small stuff. Because this Vader 2 is wider than the original, I actually think it feels a bit GMM2-ish... but better. It has a more pulled in nose, but same wide/parallel outline as the GMM2.
I'm sure it's a more pulled in tail.
And judging by your picture, the rocker on the forward/nose rail versus the stringer line is pretty significant.
does she know which costs more, the board or the table?
