Victoria Poly Vac

[Julievic916]

Looking at a Victoria polyvac. 1 is a 47" and the other is a 52". I skim in new jersey and I'm VERY new to this. The boards are a good deal for either one. Should I go with the 47" or the 52"? Also this may be a stupid question, but what is the poly vac made of? Is it a good board?

info on the polyvac
note the wide selection of materials. and that it doesn't come in 47". as for what size you need, that will depend on your weight and how fast you are. and if you're still growing, it's wise to go bigger so you have some growing room. yes they are good boards. my large (55") performs very well for me. i'm 6'2", 200-ish and am a decently fast runner.

Yeah I'm buying this board used and the seller may not be completely accurate, but I don't know enough about it. I'm 5"8 and about 150 so would the 52 be good?

well you fit the weight range. beyond that it's mostly preference. larger = more float/distance, smaller = easier turns. for a beginner extra float usually helps, but if you've got a good deal on a used board it's not worth nitpicking on the size.
