The Tribe Guard Elite takes our best-selling Guard 2.0 and adds deck contours. It keeps the same battle-tested construction: a lightweight, low-density "flex" 1.2pcf PP core, a carbon fiber stringer, and an HDPE bottom with graduated channels.
WHO IS THIS BOARD FOR?
Ideal Rider Profile
- Equipment Preference: Riders who want a lightweight PP core board with flex and added deck contours.
- Rider Size: Available in 41", 42", and 43".
Best Suited For
- Guard fans who want the added grip and control of deck contours.
- Riders who want proven, battle-tested construction.
WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE?
Deck Contours: The key upgrade over the Guard 2.0.
1.2pcf PP Core: A lightweight, low-density flex core.
Single Carbon Fiber Stringer: Reinforces the core.
HDPE Slick and Graduated Channels: A durable bottom with graduated channels.
Crescent Tail: A classic tail outline.
Hand Bulbs: Added grip and control.
HOW DOES IT COMPARE?
The Guard Elite shares its construction with the Guard 2.0. The key difference is the deck contours.
