Title: Girl Deck Shapes
Post by: BMCsteve on March 24, 2015, 08:46:28 PM
Anyone know the specifics around the different Girl shapes?  I noticed the 8.125x31.65 comes in G023 and G026.  Is the difference in concave or something?

I only skate girl/choco boards in 8.12 and I skate the GO23 and the GO28. They're both 8.12 but the GO28 has a little bit shorter length at like 31.3 instead of the 31.6. The only difference is the shorter length gives it a little more squared off nose. As far as I know the only difference is in the length because the concave on all the ones I've skated is the same.

I skate the shorter 31.3 one when I get a girl or chocolate board. It has a more rounded nose and tail and its shorter obviously, the concave is the same. The 31.6 has a somewhat pointy shorter tail...

Are there any other brands that use the same shape as the 8.12 GO23? I love the shape but girl/choc wood is subpar.

GO23 is 31.625 length (typically the Kenny, Carroll, Malto).

GO26 is 31.3 length (typically the Marc, Guy).

GO23 is 31.625 length (typically the Kenny, Carroll, Malto).

GO26 is 31.3 length (typically the Marc, Guy).

Both the G023 and G026 are 31.625 in length.  The G028 is 31.3.

From what I can tell the G023 (Malto) has squarish nose and more tapered tail.  The G026 (Carroll) has a tapered nose and tail

The reason that I was asking is I have a 8.125x31.625 3D deck that I like and was trying to figure out exactly which of the Girl/Choco decks it matched up to.  From what I can tell, the 3D is the same as the G023.

I found these pics of the G023 on top and G026 on bottom so you can see the subtle differences -

Re-up....

Does anyone have like a master list of all the shapes?

As far as I know:

G001 - 7.5" x 31"
G009 - 7.75" X 31.125"
G021 - 7.875" X 31.25" (usually Girl Wilson decks)
G018 - 8" X 31.5" (usually Alvarez, Cruz, Brophy. Slightly less tapered/rounder nose than the G008)
G008 - 8" X 31.875"(usually Biebel, Roberts plus the G018 boys. A little more tapered)
G028 - 8.125" X 31.3"
G023 - 8.125" X 31.625" (Fuller nose. Alot of Malto. )
G026 - 8.125" X 31.625" (More tapered and pointier nose. Alot of Kennys boards are this shape. )
G027 - 8.25" X 31.625" (Rounder shape overall than the other 8.25)
G050 - 8.25" X 32" (More tapered/pointier)
G016 - 8.375" X 31.75" (I think this is a little rounder)
G030 - 8.375" X 32" (Slightly pointier but wouldn't swear on it)
G022 - 8.5" x 32.25"  (Never had the 8.5's so not sure about what differs between them...)
G033 - 8.5" X 32"
G042 - 8.5" X 31.7" (SKIDUL SHAPE. The old school shape, square tail pointier nose)
G037 - 8.75" X 32.25" (Smaller version of G040)
G040 - 9" x 32.5" (Chicos big boy shape)
G041 - 9.125" X 32.625" (Cory's PHAWT shape)

I might have missed one or more. if anyone knows more info, add it..

G044 - 8.375x31.4 with a 14" wheelbase. I suspect this was Elijah Berle's shape since they are/were mostly his model.


I'd be interested in a different wood shop version of the G016 if anyone has any input on that. I love that shape.

I'm pretty sure the g030 is/was 8.25, I've ridden like 10 in a row, and I have one on my wall that says 8.25, best shape EVER, subpar wood but man, the first week on those decks is a dream till they start pressure cracking on lipslides.

It looks like they might've discontinued it for this new g050 shape tho, anybody ridden this one yet? is it the same thing but with the new wood?

Pretty much all decks are made from North American maple, regardless of where they're manufactured. This includes all the Chinese made decks.

before this one i had a choco with the older wood and this is a huge improvement.
new wood feels stiff and snappy, held up well during a weekend of non-stop skating..
old wood was chipped in a matter of mins from bailed flip tricks and had more pressure cracks than a wal-mart board.

I'm happy enough with it, maybe it will restore some faith in the crail boys

That is good to hear. I personally prefer girl/chocolate shapes but the old wood sucked so I haven’t bought one in about 3 years. Might pick one up if the local shop gets some with the stamp on top.

the one i have is the nickname series, G027. loved that shape but hated the quality of the decks. once a year ill buy a craildeck because i get sucked in with a killer series and remember why i don't buy them.
that said if they keep this quality i'll run with them for a bit.

last deck i had that the wood felt this solid was a northern co... I'm sure they are totally different but that nice sturdy feeling was there

Yep still skating mine, had kinda planned on grabbing a new one on this skate trip I took last week but really didn’t need one. The nickname series deck I have still feels great and hasn’t fallen victim to the normal crailtap chipping and cracking and it still feels snappy (well as snappy as a two month old deck can feel )

I would say if your shop has one with the stamp on top and it’s a shape you like give it a shot, I know the subpop series should all be the better wood.. at least from the ones I saw at spot

I went back to back with old wood and new wood and it’s a difference you can tell right away

Is the North American Maple thing special? Or is that the 'new wood'?

They don't show it on the pics of the top of that Rudy Johnson board (on crailtap), and I feel like I saw an instagram post about a special run of NAM. I was assuming my 'Sanctuary' deck I just got done skating was the new wood because it felt different, but maybe I'm wrong (no etching).

I've been skating a G033 as well.  I wanted to mix it up and bought a Real Full shape and preferred the G033.  I then bought a Santa Cruz Wide Tip, absolutely hated it and then went back to the G033.  I finally came to my senses and bought another (chocolate) G033 for when this one was done.

The new wood is great and the shape is basically a slightly more full B16 without being a "full" shape

Got one last week.  Put indy 169's on it and it's perfect.  159's were too narrow.  Doesn't taper as much as I thought which is great.  But god damn is it long.  Really needs to be 1/2" shorter.

Way too long.. exactly what stopped me from grabbing one at vu a few months ago. Went in fully ready to cop

For anyone still wondering if your crail wood is the new woodshop or not. I recently bought a till 93 series and didn’t have that fancy new etched details on the top ply so I got worried I might have bought an older woodshop model. I emailed crail and they responded:

"We have recently switched up our woodshop and even more recently started using the laser engraving on the boards we produce. Unfortunately, not all of the graphics we offer are able to have the laser treatment. On the 93 Til Infinity board you purchased the top graphic of the OG Logo runs the entire length of the board, over the area the laser would be. If we are running the laser over that section it makes the logo flake off, and isn’t the best look. We will use the full top screen from time to time, so it will leave some of our decks left with out the laser detail. Your board was made at the new woodshop.”

Not sure who the new Woodshop is but its good. I haven't ridden a Chocolate deck since a 96 or 97, Paulo board but I recently pulled the trigger on a Chico BigBoy and love it so far. I've been injured so I can't attest to its durability yet but concave, shape and flex are perfect. Almost learned fakie tres on it and I never had those even back in my hey day....

Yo. Anyone of you ever skate the G050 shape with the 14.41 wheelbase?

I got one for cheap and hope the wheelbase is not to much? Otherwise another wallboard i guess.

Looked at a g023 a few weeks ago and it was very mellow, like most (all?) of their decks. I think it's just their thing.

Yeah all their decks are mellow. It's weird cause I usually only skate steep decks and hate flat ones, but the crailtaps work for some reason. I really like their shapes.

G023 is super mellow (8.125 * 14 inch wheelbase)
G026 is same width and wheelbase but much more concave

Interesting. I’ve skated both and I usually go for more concave but I much preferred the g023 over the g026. For me the tail on the g026 had that flat feeling like it was already cracked and I couldn’t 360 flip on it, it drove me nuts even though it was probably all in my head

Just setting up a G027 board now, it looks great testing it out tomorrow.

Had the G008 from the "improved wood" which had similar feeling, did not like it and gave it away after 2 or 3 sessions.

I typically only ride G023. I got a couple G026 and literally could not stand it. Short tail or something? I don't know it just did not work. Did feel like there was more concave though. Might just be the difference of top deck of the press or the bottom deck. I seriously doubt they are single pressing boards.

Had a good few sessions on my Chico now. Have to say the Crail wood impressed me at first (snappy and responsive) but its totally mushed out at this point. I haven't been skating much due to an injury and its mostly been flat and curbs. Anyway, great shape, nice mellow concave but really lost its 'pop' pretty quick compared to Generator and South Central boards. Can barely ollie on it now its that much of a wet noodle. Got one more Crail board (CK phawt shape) in my pile and depending on how that goes my flirtation with Crail wood might be done.

That 8.12x31.3 crail shape is the best and I'd pick it 100 times over before going with the deluxe 8.12x31.25 one. Both are good but goddamn I love that crail shape.

Just finished skating a Mike Carroll g016. 8.375. The tail was really small, only 6.3. At first I hated that. I kept whiffing on my pop. I almost took it off right away. But that's not my style. I'll suffer through it. Eventually, I figured out if I slowed down my pop in my back leg, it worked. It worked better with less effort. Kind of strange. I kept having to remind myself of this. Less force.
Shape wise, pointy and flat.
Wood wise, not bad at all. I skated it for 5 or 6 weeks. And it had at least another week of life,  but I slammed and it shot into traffic. Some jackass went out of his way to run it  over.
I'm on a bareback now, killing floor, and I'm having issues getting used to the normal, bigger tail. I had a feeling this would happen. I've got a stevie Perez g030 on deck. Also a 8.375, but bigger tail and wheelbase. And the shape looks more full. I like how all the measurements are listed on the top.

!!!! Stoked you tried this out, I’m about to order mine from the shop. So 159s would be ideal? I’m on ace 44s, so they probably too small.

Grabbed a G050 deck last week not realizing the tail was so small at 6.3" with the longer WB. Not sure I like the small tail.. it's noticeably harder to stay locked into tail slides without slipping out, and feels like not enough room on the tail when popping.. I'm starting to figure it out but I really want to try the G052 next. I'll try the slower pop someone mentioned above lol. Wish I would have gotten the 52 in the first place.

Anyone tried the G052? The specs look really good

If the 52 is the one that’s like 8.25 with a 14” wheelbase but a little longer than the other 8.25 yeah I’ve had a few of them and really liked the shape, if I recall the nose was a little bigger but was good

Currently skating the G052 ( I've yet to try the 27, buddy who works the shop suggested the tail is steeper than the 52 ). The deck is super flat, feels wider for an 8.25. The nose is huge and square, the tail feels quite short and quick, with a marginal amount of space between back truck and kick. Wheelbase seems symmetrical. Really enjoying it although the tail has been causing some strain on my ankle. Only trick that I needed to adjust radically are back smiths.

  Prior to this I skated the G008. Relatively flat 8.00 with a full wheelbase that's set forward, lot of space between back truck and kick which I really appreciated, made for a more mellow pop if that makes sense. Board damn near felt like a shaped deck rather than a popsicle.

Its PS now. I was dubious at first. But my last board was a Chocolate Anderson and I skated it for a solid two weeks. No goofy chips, quick razor tail, sogginess, or the worst - with previous crail boards I've skated - an almost hollow feeling board / pop - like when you pop your tail all the rigidity like vibrates out of the board, making a shit thud sound. Yeah none of that.
Title: Re: Girl Deck Shapes
Post by: Ok on April 12, 2020, 07:42:41 PM
It’d be fucking sick if they used ps again. I have a ps jovontae reissue that’s rad.
I think they use a Chinese woodshop. But their process is just better. Or something. Their shapes have always been rad, to me, but I had some that were instantly warped and then yeah, that waterlogged/dead/no feedback/just gross feeling.
They are morally opposed to making truly great products. Which is a shame.
I used to love old world stuff and that would sometimes last hours, but sometimes you could really get ahold of a trick so it felt worth it. Like the board was gonna snap that day, but some random flip tricks would pop like the best you’ve ever done. I’ve said it a million times but I’d rather buy that board: the one that didn’t last but skated phenomenal. I’m old. I can’t break anything that’s not attached to me anyways.
New shit is decent tho.

They don’t unless they started in the last few months. They WILL use ps for one offs like the Carroll nc deck and maybe the turner reissue was. I think vu had a ps run for the shop colab they did last year but almost everything else is china

I found the guide on the site to be well done and helpful. Admittedly I’m a nerd for this stuff, but reading some of the ideas behind the shapes was cool.

I find the G027 shape really interesting.
8.25 x 31.75 with 14 wb

Nose is 6.75 but the tail is 6.8

Never seen a popsicle where the tail is (a hair) longer as the nose. I am curious. Any pals here had this shape?

Same question.
I had a Simon board (Cory graphic) that was listed as 8.25 (tapered to more like 8.125) 14 wb. Last time I felt good on a board. I think it was this shape. Decent amount of flat, worked with all my truck fuckery, but worked best with ace 44s and 56s. Which makes no sense. I think I quit riding it because it looked fucked. I like the way 50s look. I need at least 54s (I think) for the ancient pavements in my area.
Anyways. Board was sick.
Miss the 7.875 pgi. That board was excellent. Mine was hot pink and zumiez as fuck looking. Skated excellent. Got some different sizes of the old wood and they were warped, so I get the criticism of the pgi stuff. Annoyed with myself for not sticking with the ones that worked tho.
I really like Craig's shorter shapes.

I skated the G027 once, was okay but didn’t really enjoy the shorter nose personally. For the other 8.25 I think you guys are referring to the G052, I’ve skated this one twice and I’ve enjoyed it quite a bit. I would like if crail made a more full shaped 8.25 but keep the 14” wb. Too much taper or too short of kicks make slides feel less secure to me.

Yes, the pop secrets have a full carbon fiber top layer and 6 layers of maple.  So a little different than the ones where it's just an insert (impact).  I personally love them because i prefer the feel of a thinner deck, but they are very stiff and will wind up getting razor tail long before it loses its pop.  Sometimes its harder to get your hardware flush with the top too, due to that carbon fiber layer on top.

I just gripped a Pacheco stamp/postcard deck. I had the normal crail size engraving on the top. But I didn’t pay attention to them to see if anything was different.  Stoked to skate it. It’s just gripped and waiting til this uma dies.

I skated two Girl decks in a row, bought the loveseat and the couch to check which one I prefer.

I liked the loveseat dimensions but the deck was a complete disaster, I break it in the second session doing some 50-50 on a small ledge. The deck was light but felt soggy and the graphic had a weird soft touch.

Otherwise, I didn't have many good feelings about the couch but it's probably one of the best decks I ever skated in my life. Dimensions are great, crispy and it's lasting more than 6 months in good shape. I bought another one after a couple of sessions.

It's weird because both are made in the same woodshop and felt so different from the other one.

Had the G053 last year with some venture Hi’s and didn’t like it; 32 length with a 14.44 inch wheelbase and ventures just felt way too hefty for me; tail felt way too heavy and flip tricks took too much strength to pop. Probably wouldve felt better with indys but I pretty much only skate ventures these days and didn’t feel like having to buy new trucks to make a board feel right to me.
As for the G033, I got a G033 deck right now actually, haven’t had a chance to actually skate it yet, only mellow cruising cuz I’m injured, but it feels good so far. The dimensions are pretty close to Bakers 8.475 shape, which is my favorite shape of all time, so I feel like it should feel pretty good for popping and flip tricks n such. Ventures on a 31.5-32 length deck with 14-14.25 WB is definitely in the goldie locks zone for me.

I didn't read all of this just just wanted to pop in and say that every girl board (Bball series) I have hanging on my wall right now has warped.  Shapes have always looked amazing. I skated one of the bigboy/couch shape or whatever they are calling it and snapped the nose off on a 360flip. Landed on the noise and that was it. Snapped it like nothing.

The longer tail somehow messes with me. Unfortunately don't have a reputable local shop near me so I can't look in real life first.

I’m on the G053 right now. With aces or cast indys it’s good but the tail is so short I doubt I would try it with anything else.  Even with these trucks I can see daylight under the edge of the baseplate.  There’s like 1/2 finger of flat.

I skated this shape back in march. the nose is really square and a little bit flatter than the tail. The tail itself is pretty medium so u dont feel the length that much, and u dont end up getting that much ghost pop from what I remember. I liked the shape it stayed stiff for a while for me then again it was china pressed

Thanks yo. I went to the shop and they had a couple boards in that shape but only with horrible graphics. I ended up copping a Chocolate G033 (8.5"x32", 14.25" WB). Slightly less flat on the tail but I was very into how it looked/felt under my feet.

I haven't actually skated it yet, but I got a Malto Pop Secret G052 waiting to go.

It's difficult to show on pictures, how it feels, I'm really impressed with the "looks" of it. When I'm standing on it, it seems super sturdy and has very little flex in the nose and tail. It also seems a bit heavier than the 8.25 Quasi I also have waiting to go. Dude's on youtube said the fibreglass layer prevents the board from chipping.

I don't really know but for me it makes holding a manual alot easier. Works good with Ventures too.

Lots of flat feels really good for manuals, nose/tail slides, and anything where they board rotates horizontally (no comply 180, shoves, etc). I love it. Skating a G033 with a bunch of flat on the nose and it is sick. Wish the tail had as much.

Something weird with Crail shapes is that finger of flat thing because I noticed that it's difficult to tail (maybe nose as well?) slide on them because the ledge doesn't sit flush with the wheels/baseplate. You either stand on tail with more of your deck Tilted upward OR you have to slide nearly an inch away from the baseplate on just the tail (super scary and unpredictable). I ate shit a few times because of this on my 9.25 Powerslide Tershy deck when doing curb tricks.

Currently riding a slick bottom G052 board. I knew it was gonna be smaller than DRKRM 8.375, but almost seems under 8" wide! I'm assuming it's the short WB. I've only skated it a few times, so I can't really give it my full opinion, but it's weird going from a nice round tail, to a lil nub for a tail (I ride a size 11-11.5).

I got it to try and narrow down what I feel good on. So far, I wanna go back to the DRKRM I had before or something similar in dims.
Still wanna get 8.25 a shot but, maybe a longer WB, or slightly longer.

Isn't the tail on that like 6.8"/longer than the nose? Or are you just referring to the width?

FWIW I am an 11 and I have been very into 8.25 lately. I was skating a lot of footballs and 8.5" pops (currently skating the latter) but have been finding 8.25" to be kind of a sweet spot.

I haven’t. Looks good, if I was going to skate a bigger board. I’m on some weird small board kick. 8” trucks, max. I like Craig’s shapes, particularly the length and I like the guide! It’s really well done, imo, and helpful.

This might be a dumb question and I know they don’t come out very often, but are the crail decks that are ps stix usually the same shapes as the regular ones just better wood?

I thought for some reason you liked steeper boards....besides them being short, the crail boards also, generally, have a decent amount of fingers of flat which I really like.

I do, but switching it up: swapping out steep kicks/55mm trucks/53mm 101a wheels for mellow, 52/53.5mm trucks/52mm 99a, something easier to skate due to ankle woes (also switching to cupsoles).

Last girl I rode was 1.5yrs ago ish (new wood), found it medium/comfy + good shape/wood feel.

The G027 =  full/rounded + short tail/shortish nose, and I generally prefer 31.75/31.8" length - shape and dims, this is what I look for so if I can make the 14" WB work (usually on 14.25 like most of us) I could be good for now ;) - I just have to decide on Ventures or Thunders for this setup (but I'm so used to ATGs mags w/bones these days). The only 14" WB board that I ever felt right on is the Primitive and only indy felt weird to me, ATG/Vent/Thun all felt fine....tho best with Ventures due to the long mellow tail/nose.

The width tapers hella. Not use to that. The tail on my DRKRM is nice and wide. I think I'm gonna try a longer wheel base. Kinda getting use to the GO52 and it being a slick is fun. However, its just a lil too tight. It's really easy to miss the flick on kickflips, where my drkrm the flick is there every time. I got super comfy on that board, I dont know why I changed it. I saw the slick board on SW for under 60 and I was willing to go for something I knew might not be a good fit.

Girl's other 8.25 shape has a pretty long wheelbase if I remember correctly. Probably gonna go back to DRKRM to be honest. Might try their 8.25. The Baker one is loooking good too. Same dims for the most part but 14.25 wb.

The G027 "8.25" tapers like crazy as well...i've skated one and have another in the cupboard, I pulled it out the other day and measured it out of curiousity. 8.2ish at the front bolts, just over 8" at the back!

It's a great shape, but calling it 8.25 is very generous, I stuck it next to an 8.25" WKND deck which is true to width all the way and it looks so different.

G027 is a fun,mellow board but you can absolutely feel the taper when you skate it, I had to be more conscious of having the board the right way round for certain tricks than I would on say a BBS deck.

It's fun skating the EFB. I haven't been going to the park because it's too cold in the morning and too crowded by the time I do want to skate.

It's slightly heavy, but nah. No pressure cracks.

Biggest complaint is how tight it feels as far as length/WB

I was pretty set on another G033 for my next deck but the long tail on the G027/G052 caught my eye and the itch wasn’t gonna go away until I tried one. I would have preferred a G052 because it is 0.12” longer but the local only had a G027.

I totally missed the talk about how it tapers and that has me worried, but it’s didn’t notice it too much holding it in the shop.

I always worry about the rear taper, but then you start skating it and the worries disappear; guess I'm more concerned about the width for my lead foot than I am about what's 'behind me'.

I was at my local earlier and they had some Crail decks.  It's dope how they print the specs on the top layer of the board.  Really helps the skate nerds.  Also, some of the Chocolate boards I saw (the basic OG Chunk ones with the big ass logo) are PS Stix, had the laser etching and all.

The GSSC series has the L x W on the bottom graphic (tail area) as well (8.25x31.75"):

Also, not overly excited about the G027 after a couple of sessions, the tail being longer than the nose is a bit weird (not by a lot) but the shapes of the nose and tail seem like they'd be on two different brands/shapes. Nose is short, full and a bit stubby, tail is long, tapered and pointy, both with 2 fingers of flat; it's as if the board is backwards (so that's how I was skating it).

G027 I picked up on skateshop day. The 14" wheelbase is the smallest I've ever ridden on a popsicle, but I've ridden decks that are shorter overall.  The longer tail is what caught my eye.

(https://i.imgur.com/4Y11JM7.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/1pdBYbh.jpg)

Lots of fingers of flat which is what I wanted but once the tail starts it is WAY steeper than I anticipated. That's a Politic from South Central (which I've always considered on the steeper side.)  I was going to put my 5.8s on here but with the rear tapering to 8" I think they will be too much. It's 144 hollows for now.

For anyone looking for another perspective, Degros doesn't say this deck is a G027 but it's gotta be.

I had one of these, pretty sure. First Bannerot pro deck with the Cory graphic. I had 44s and big wheels. Skated great. I should have just gotten another one. Not sure why I went away from it tbh. Probably hated the way the big wheels looked (ee3 was a moment, and I really really loved that video, still do. I just don’t ever end up crushing down the street doing wallies and stuff, I am in a parking lot attempting bad nollie flips. Having huge wheels feels like I’m driving a lifted truck to get groceries)

For sure the G027, mine is a hair under 8.25” up front and 8” across the rear truck. 14” wb and 31.75”L are spot on. Setup with 8” Tensor ATGs so similar wb to Indy. It’s funny that he mentioned thunders because that’s really what I was thinking about skating on this.

I didn’t find it too steep, but that’s probably because I usually ride to window boards by comparison this is a medium so it could be steep for many.

Mellow concave, medium kicks for sure. Really nice shape (crail shape description is on point); also, nice of them to provide a guide for a perfectly centered racing stripe ;) 1010s breaking in quick just wearing them for a few hours for two days just inside!

That's mellow concave? Looks steep AF to me. Who makes the flattest boards? I'm Mr. Anti-concave, nothing is flat enough for me...

Baker mellow concave is v mellow, almost too mellow.

Toy Machine mellow is way more mellow than Baker mellow (PS Stix)

I believe Chris Roberts has been skating it. All I know is that it is an 8.25. I saw on youtube that Crob did a full setup livestream but I havent watched it. He might talk more about the shape in it. It is like 2 hours long though so I'm not sure anyone is curious enough about it to put themselves  through that.

I just got a pop secret board, first time skating any kind of technologically advanced board (unless you count those corrugated Baker boards back in the day). Very curious to see how it skates, though I likely won't set it up for a bit.

IDK if this has been mentioned here, but can I expect this to start getting pressure cracks out the gate like regular crail boards?

Got the link? I can put it on as background noise.

I had to ditch the G027 after the fourth session, I just couldn't get anything to feel right, everything was off. I'll be keeping an eye out for the TT tho.

I just got a pop secret board, first time skating any kind of technologically advanced board (unless you count those corrugated Baker boards back in the day). Very curious to see how it skates, though I likely won't set it up for a bit.

IDK if this has been mentioned here, but can I expect this to start getting pressure cracks out the gate like regular crail boards?

Skated with a bunch of randos today; dude rolled up, started skating around and you could hear that his board was crispy/stiff/different (I'm skating DLX right now and it feels sounds dead...fucking DSM crispy-goodness), it just made a different sound when it hit concrete, and if you ever skated a P2/VX, Impact, you know that sound.

Caught a glimpse of the bottom, girl logo, asked if it was a pop secret, it was.

My skateboarding nerd-ery had evolved into deciphering products by sound.

Two bets dudes at my local are always skating the soggiest boards and still have major pop. One of them got a second hand girl pop secret deck and the thing still sounded crispier and stiffer than a brand new bbs deck. Dude was flying out of the bank on that thing

Coming off a VX, a DSM R7, everything feels waterlogged, especially BBS. My current Anti-hero sounds water-logged by comparison to the pop-secret.

It's true the pop is about the skater but stiffer decks to hold pop longer, IF you outlast razor tail. I'd say there are times I razor tail faster than the board sogging out. 'Composite/tech' boards always sound better with ollies tho, such a loud CRACK.

lol so I read all of this wrong and the one that I got is definitely not PS Stix, but the shape is lovely and the pop is very crisp. The wood is markedly different vs. BBS or PS, so I am intrigued as to how this will wear for me, but so far I like the nose, the pintail, and the feel of the concave. This is my first Crail board, as I had avoided them on my return to skating due to what I had read re: the quality.

Girl wood, for me, is second only to DSM (Dwindle and NHS - no idea if NHS is still using DSM); anything out of BBS or PS stix just feels mushy now.

Just chiming in with the same thing I always say: for me, crail boards pressure crack the first session but after that they stay crispy and never chip and I'll run them until they razor. Plus I like that the loveseat and couch are always around these days.

I'd buy Crail but I don't think I can do the shapes anymore.

Tried the 8.25 with 14 WB and it wasn't my vibe.

Currently lovin the 8.25 x 31.9 14.25 wb bbs(Baker) I'm riding right now.

Also, I don't think I can fuck with a brand who doesn't promote accountability

Definitely liked the last girl and clutch deck I had more than the last DLX I had, which felt soggy and chipped easy. Didn’t have as much as a problem with the uma. But at this
Point the clutch I’m skating now is more durable than dlx. I just want south central boards with a small wheel base. They’re hard to find. Bacon! Make an 8.5 with a 14.25.

Has anyone rode the G033 shape? I'd like to try out a crail deck but their weird long tapered noses really suck for me, this shape seems more boxy (like quasi) can anyone confirm?

Not boxy (not pointy either). Very round nose and tail. Lots of flat leading up to some steeply-angled kicks.

I was looking at various girl decks today and noticed a Malto said PS Stix and it was a GO44 shape. All the other decks were the standard specs on the top that don’t say PS Stix.

... so what’s the deal. Are there some Girl decks made by PS Stix and most made in China? Here’s a pic of the graphic but when I check out the crail website this graphic isn’t even offered in GO44.

Yes exactly

What's more interesting is several people are saying that the newer Chinese decks are better than ps stix

Is it random which are ps stix versus chinese or is there a pattern?
Im currently on a Chinese Go26 Gass Future OG deck and it’s holding VERY well. Three weeks of almost daily use and I’m 6’1 200 pounds. No stress cracks and doesn’t feel mushy.

From the Crail website it looks like only a fraction of "special edition" decks are done through PS Stix. The Wilson Power OG has the PS Stix laser etching, and the Mike Carroll reissue from last year was also PS Stix.

So my last Couch is one of the only boards I have cracked in years. I snapped the top ply over the front truck on a backside ollie on a bank. I've skated a few Crail boards in the last year and a half, and this is the first one that broke.

I think that shape is more susceptible to breakage due to the short WB coupled with the 3 fingers of flat at the nose and tail. It pushes the stress point of the trucks closer to the center and makes it a little easier to snap if you land with your foot too far out on either. That being said, still going to fuck with the shape because it is magic while it does last.

Yeah, that makes sense! I really like the shape, too. It’s a bit too narrow for me at the back truck, feet hanging off too much. Also cannot afford to break decks too often. I’ll try the Heroin Bigger Egg instead.

Just set up one of the PS Stix Girl boards, shape G052. It does not look exactly like the previous G052 I have skated, maybe slightly more blunt shaped and a tad bit longer but can’t be too sure my mind isn’t playing tricks on me. It got me thinking if the Crail boards coming out of PS Stix could truly be the same shape as their Chinese made counterparts, even though they’re still using the same shape codes on them. Has anyone else skated the PS Stix and Chinese made version of the same Crail shape and care to report your findings?

That sounds about right, I just got my first session in on it yesterday and the shape definitely differs albeit not in a bad way necessarily. Whereas crail's usual shapes feel more rounded/popsicle shaped this one feels more much blunted and square. Maybe has a tiny bit more concave but still quite a mellow deck. Dimensions do not seem to vary enough to bother me, I think I'll enjoy the board overall but my preference will probably still go to standard crail shapes going forward. I'm terrible at measuring dimensions but I think this deck has a 14.125" wb rather than 14" so if you're someone who is picking up a crail deck for that 14" wb you may want to measure before you buy if possible.

Seconded. I've skated around 10 G052's this year, it's one of my favourite decks. They're the same dimensions but the PS version is more their standard squarish shape. I like the PS shape better but prefer the Chinese wood. They are really on opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of deck construction, the PS was very springy/bouncy and the Crail wood is quite rigid which I prefer.

I used some ace classic 44 with it (only truck i had at the time) and it worked perfectly (no hot rod at all). So I guess any truck around 8.25 would work ok.

ps: first crail wood I've had in a long long time (got it around new years 2021) and it worked wonders tbh.

I am skating the very similar g053, cast thunders. I am quite short. The pop, from the tail, is fantastic (haven’t had my best nollie stuff on this setup). Anyways, overall, super impressed with the dimensions/shape. I came for the Carl board, the shop had this instead, and I can see myself sticking with it long term. The wb is .5”‘longer than what I thought my preference was. My experience is that it just works.
As an aside: Carl, Kader, Griffin, all seem to be skating 8.5s, with 14.5 wb, and have great flip tricks. They could probably do so with a 2x4, but are choosing to skate these wider longer boards

I am no physics expert, but in my experience a deck with a longer wb (14.5) has more momentum when it spins sideways. Shuvs and always felt great with a longer wb.

But yeah Carl, Kader and Griffin can probably tre flip a longboard too ^^

Ah, my rotational shit is fried on these big (to me) setups.
It’s kinda wild to me that some of the most tech people seem to skate some really big equipment. Dilo would be another, but he looks tall as shit so it’s not as odd as say Kader and Griffin who don’t look that tall.

I am guessing it would be going by those dimensions and being an existing shape / size, but don't know for sure.

Just kinda reaffirming my love for the love seat shape here, such a great deck to ride. Locals trip out that I’m on a 9 inch board but it honestly doesn’t feel big at all, wood is on point too! Now if crail could only
sort themselves out as company …

The teams rn, aren’t doing too bad imo. Still a fair amount of old guy bloat (those of teams and the next 10 years, were some of my favorite, if not the, skateboarding of all times…but I mean. Having Carroll, the god, still with multiple pro shoes, c’mon boys).

Don't know if you guys have peeped any of these new "twin tips", but as a fan of the G052 shape the 8.25" seems to be pretty much the same (dimensions wise). Would love to hear opinions in case any of you have skated one. Cheers!

Dailan Huahong is actually Ali Baba’s woodshop. I’m pretty sure you can order the blank decks from the Ali Baba B2B for like $3-9 each wholesale. I’m not sure how the shapes are, I’d think they were the same.

I’ve seen a blue Vincent Alvarez deck that was PS Stix in a local shop while traveling a year and a half ago.

Set up a Crail board for the first time in almost 2 decades, Skidul shape. First board with tapered rails, wasn't sure what trucks to put on and 149s are the answer. Skated it twice, loving it. No problems with tail/noseslides unlike somebody mentioned.

A couple years ago I skated a krooked Bobby Worrest with those dimensions and it’s the best deck I’ve ever skated. DLX puts out at least one board with that shape every season but the recently used the wheelbase to 14.25.

Seems like the Go28 is same dimensions You refferin to the new mold as in concaves and kicks angles?

Feels like the old ones were flater and mellower if I remember correctly. Back then I skated ZY so can't exactly say. But now crail is my go to. GO27 probably the overall best shape out there though now I am mainly on crail 7.75

What don't you like on current crailtap boards??

Goddamn that looks nice. The dimensions are really similar to the griffin shape I’m skating, and that one works really well, the Carl looks even better.


@off yeah the Cory shape, g039, has at least one error in it (nose), but I also don’t see how it can have that total length with such a long wb…really interesting that he skates such a long wb, not a tall guy.

Post by: Ok on April 13, 2022, 01:34:03 PM
This could be in any ‘shape’ thread I suppose. Chose this one because I like checking out the crail shape tool. Very good.
Question is this: what are the attributes and consequences of different board shapes/geometries? What is the advantage of longer noses and tails? Longer wb would be more stability, correct? A shorter tail would be good for what? I could go on with similar queries. The genesis for this is me skating a g053, and really liking it, even tho it’s not really a size I would ordinarily grab. Shit I’m not even sure if I skate it that well, some stuff is a fucking struggle as the board is longer, and wider than what I usually use. In cycling, and I’m sure other activities like golf etc, there is a bunch of talk on what a certain head tube angle will do for a bicycles steering…Professor can be helpful, but he pivots so quickly, that listening to him I find myself possibly more confused.
None of this is all that important, obviously. Board is a board. I like this crail shape, and Carl’s new shape also has long wb, which I guess is surprising to me (fairly tech riding longer boards).
If anyone has a board that they like that is 8.5x32 I’d love to hear it
Title: Re: Girl Deck Shapes
Post by: Idk on April 13, 2022, 01:41:01 PM
Long wb helps with a good kick flip. Jahmal Williams said that in his Bob shirt interview.

Short wb for fs flips for me. I think a longer wb would help it feel a bit more natural but when you flick and catch a proper fs on a 14 wb it just sounds really good.

I like to stay under 7 inches for both nose and tail. I used to skate the 917 8.25 that had a big nose and tail but I realized I love tech skateboarding and want to challenge myself on that. Ishod rules but I don’t see him doing what PJ does on a ledge and they obviously ride different set ups with Ishod having the more current 2022 one and PJ still having a bit more early 2000s set up (under 8 venture lows 50 mm). But both guys could probably ride the other ones board and shred.
Title: Re: Girl Deck Shapes
Post by: Ok on April 13, 2022, 02:00:50 PM
Gonna have to look for that jahmal interview. The longer wb helps me skate a little faster, I skate sinfully slow. The shorter nose and tail require more concentrated effort, imo. I wonder if longer ‘kicks’ are better with bigger wheels? I have always hated skating boards over 32”, but now I’m questioning it all

Thanks for response

Post by: bryan on April 27, 2022, 06:19:08 AM
This probably isn't news, but I was skating a crob twin and I thought the kicks seemed different than I remember girl boards being. I thought it was just me being older and fatter but then compared it to a 2019 g052 I had and it has 2 fingers of flat on nose and tail vs 3 on the 2019 g052. Same kick angle, but the nose/tail were a little higher by .1-.25". I just picked up a recent g027 and crail loveseat, same mold as the twin.

I am guessing this is just a result of switching from PGI to whatever they are now. Not better or worse, just a little different. I'm used to skating old world/girl and chapman boards so moving the pocket really throws me off.

Per the setup thread, finally set up my CRob G069 twin tail.

Love it. I have had several G027s prior and it feels similar but just works better for my kind of skating, in theory i should get more wear out of it skating it both directions... quite common for me to ruin the heel side nose of a board first usually.

Decent sized sweet spot for manuals as well when on Thunders, a good two+ fingers of flat.

I'm running a G052 atm, I was surprised by the taper to the rear as the crail guide says 'straight rails.'

i had to swap out my 5.8 ventures and put my 5.6's on to accommodate for that otherwise the rear truck stuck out a little.

(probably could of got away with it, but seeing the wheel bolts stick out when looking down isn't the one and deffo isn't the one where your ankle bones are concerned.)

still skates lovely though, my flips are on point and it feels super crisp on the pop but I'm probably going to go for the twin tip next time (G069) as that has near enough the same specs but doesn't appear to have the same taper to the rear.

can anyone confirm that?

Yeah, I have one now and it feels and skates much more like an 8". 144 trucks stick pretty far out of the side of this deck. Frankly I really don't like this shape at all. I took mine apart yesterday, after a series of frustrating and disappointing sessions on it.

No taper at all on the G069, nose is tail and tail is nose. I do a lot of fakie and reg flatground and it's nice just skating the board whichever way it's pointing...in theory i should be able to make it last longer too as my usual go-to is wrecking the heel side of the nose.

Anyone else recognized, that the specs for the G052 seem a bit off? It is a tad narrower as 8.25 and a bit shorter as 31.875. I will see how it feels riding.
[close]

I'm running a G052 atm, I was surprised by the taper to the rear as the crail guide says 'straight rails.'

i had to swap out my 5.8 ventures and put my 5.6's on to accommodate for that otherwise the rear truck stuck out a little.

(probably could of got away with it, but seeing the wheel bolts stick out when looking down isn't the one and deffo isn't the one where your ankle bones are concerned.)

thanks @skatebeard that's me settled on the next ride then. might even make it my little side mission while I'm over in the Netherlands next week and go on a skate shop tour hunting down a chocolate/girl twin. wish me luck.

I recently skated the GO33 shape (8.5. X 32, 14.25 wb) known as the “square tail”. I got along with it well enough, but aesthetically I disliked the round nose/square tail combo. Can’t help but think I’d like the shape much more if it had a classic popsicle tail. Can someone please tell me what the advantages of the square tail are, because I didn’t notice any real upside.

Been skating the loveseat all summer and it’s amazing. Got a couch I’m gonna check out soon too. Love riding a fatty and still being able to rip flip tricks easily.

One year and four loveseats later I still know the vibe. Anyone else in an exclusive/committed relationship with this shape?

Pretty sure there is a cheap couch or loveseat on skate warehouse clearance and an also stack the 15% discount.
I just set up my second go27 today 8.25x14” wheelbase, after skating a bbs 8.5 with a longer wheelbase. At first it felt tiny, but it worked a lot better for some things. Less of a comfy board and probably better for technical stuff.
I’m going to start alternating every deck between crail and bbs. There is a nice birdhouse ravers vhs graphic deck that is 9” on skate warehouse that I’ll probably grab, and I’ll get another crail board as well. I’m leaning towards the Kennedy 8.5x31.75.
Crail wood is fun to skate, the boardsare light, the concave seem consistent and it’s cool to be able to dial in the shape you want via the shape guide.

No worries, I'm actively not buying skate shit, but I love this shape and would definitely buy another one to keep on ice. With that said, I'm still adjusting to my new bigboy job and I sometimes remember that I can just go to the skateboard shop and buy a deck at retail whenever I want.

I wouldn't say I could flip my couch shape easily, actually I felt I was struggling with flips when I skated it. I would like to try the loveseat but don't have fitting trucks for it atm. Still the loveseat is only .25" skinnier so not sure if it's much of a difference.

That shape on the older wood was too nice.

I vaguely recall Gino’s board being 7.9ish, or maybe him saying he skated 7.9s? Which seems unlikely he’d mention it, doesn’t seem the type to divulge. But yeah, anyways, in my mind the 7.9 shape was the Gino shape. Had a few, loved them.
Bought one of the new 7.875s a few years back, but my guy was trying to get sparked to skate so I passed him the board, and I know he hasn’t skated it. Ha.

To be honest this is the only shape above 8.25 i avoid at all cost Crailtap wise. the 7" nose and small 6.3" tail makes it feel very one sided weight wise and doing any trips with your board backwards makes it feel lopsided. I believe the G033 or other 8.38 size is a little better as far as more even noses and tails and weight. Personally if I could balloon the G027 up to an 8.75" id never ride another deck in my life.

Ive had two of the GO16’s back to back (still riding the Chocolate one) and i like them, Although the tail is small and ive got uk10.5/11 feet so it can feel cramped as can the general overall length. I have Thunders on it so the extended wb tend to weigh the tail and nose out alright. Double edged sword for me as i like being able to chuck it around easier under my feet but as mentioned before above, fakie tricks etc seem a bit unbalanced. Feel i almost have to scoop the tail toward my front foot a bit more to get it levelled out. I have a Death deck on ice for the next one because of the longer tail but i’d quite happily ride the G016’s again, they last ages, keep pop and feel nice and light

Does anyone know if this shape has been discontinued or which one it is?  This dude from the skatepark had some decks for sale and I really liked this shape and wanted to get a few more.  It’s an 8.25 Koston with 7in tail 6.8 nose with mellow concave  I don’t know if this shape was custom for just his boards I don’t as hoping they still make this shape for other riders.

That shape was pretty sick. Wasn’t it like 8.125x14x31.3? Something like that? I remember it being stubby. Was a perfect step up from smaller boards, being a wider, but otherwise, small board. I was a fan. Last one I had was an MJ, with 147s

The G021. I just grabbed 2 of them with the box of chocolates Vday sale for $80 shipped with grip. I just set it up yesterday with my thunder 147s and hoping to skate tomorrow. I already like it much more than the full wide nose on my 8” Habitat. I would have gone 8” but wanted the shorter length of 31.25 so went 7.875”.

Tail feels steep and somewhat long and Nose is full/round but slightly shorter. Paired w/ Venture 5.8’s but makes the wheelbase feel like a regular 14.25/14.38.

I haven’t bought boards in quite awhile, and am trying to skate thru some of my old setups and what not. I noticed that the crail boards are all still quite good.
I like the shapes/dimensions. I skate better on them, specifically the shorter tail. From an aesthetic perspective, the shapes don’t intrigue me, the graphics are not as interesting as they once were, the brand has almost none of the ‘magic’, for me, but the stuff works well. Which is almost a complete reversal of how it used to be.
I really like the G053. I want to try the G05O***, and the G030. I would be hyped on an 8” version of that shape.
I’m still looking for shape that works best with thunder 147s.

The Carl shape looks nice, and I bet it does go well with ventures.


Edit: I want to try the 50, not 52.
I love the short tail, and the long wb works really well for me other than being a mindfuck

I tried the G052 and something felt a bit weird for me. The taper towards the tail. Tail too long, Nose too short. 14 wb too short. That was on Indy 144s. Gave it to my homie with Ventures and he liked it a lot. I wish Crail would make a 8.25 with a 14.2 wb and a slightly shorter tail. Because I really like the wood and I wasn't able to break any of the Crail decks I've ridden before I sized up (both 8.125 variants).

Anyone here tried the G050 with Indys? I just checked the website and I am not familiar with that shape. 6.5 tail and 14.4 wheelbase sounds kinda cool.

Set up a G008 the other day.  Three sessions in now, and I was thinkimg it seemed a little steep.  I've had this shape numerous times.  Pulled out my last G008 from within the past year, and the tail definitely felt more mellow.  Put the digital angle gauge on both tails, and there was a 2 degree difference.  Now I'm trying to figure out if they were like this from the factory, or if the previous one flattened out that much while riding it.  Madness for sure.

I've been using the G052 shape for the past 2 months. I noticed the shape tapers from 8.25" at the front bolts to 8" at the back bolts. With Thunder 148s and 53mm Spitfire tablets, the board still feels solid and light with a good amount of pop. I did have to put some risers on because the board felt too low. My tricks were inconsistent, and I kept experiencing a lot of ghost pop. Also, the 14" wheelbase feels too cramped for me, so I'll be trying a 14.5" wheelbase. Let's see how that goes!

I had the 8.38 version of the G050 and hated it. Too steep and felt longer than any other deck I've had of that length or wheelbase cuz of the massive fingers of flat.

I just want a 14.25 G052. Just move each truck a tiny bit towards the kick or i dunno what- just make it happen.

Damn. I’ve been thinking about the G050. I’ve ridden the 53 plenty, but I don’t really prefer boards, and trucks, that wide.
I just really love the tail, and am strangely fine with the long ass wb.
52 was weird for me, and only worked with ace 44s and huge wheels.

Crail boards are not the most exciting, to me, but they last. And seem to be very consistent.

Trying to find something to go with my 147s

I always wonder this.  They probably have more shapes than any other company, but we can't get an 8.25 with a 14.25 wheelbase?  I did finally get to set up a g057 yesterday with hollow Ventures.  I felt like it skated more like a skinnier deck instead of an 8.5 - flipped nicely.  I was worried that the nose was going to be too small, but it worked.  I like the small amount of taper toward the tail with the tail still being round instead of pointy.

The wood is great, but the shapes are too different from one another and it fries my brain. I don't mind changing the shape up somewhat, but their tails, nose, fingers of flat, etc all change a ton between shapes.

I kinda like this, but it’s not gradual. I like how specific and thought out the shapes are. They really are good.
I really like short tails. They has it. Their shape guide is the fuckin best too

I'm digging it but I like big noses so I'm not surprised.  Looking at it took longer to get used to than actually skating it, but I think I'd feel the same with a twin tail.  It's also .25" larger than I normally skate too but it felt good and I could see this being what I ride from here on out for a while.

Crail could definitely make one but honestly there are plenty of 8.25 / 14.25 wb decks on the market from every other brand so they probably don’t see the point. As a short legged guy I’m happy for all the wider board options they keep with a 14” wheelbase because that’s actually rare to see.

Not steep at all, mellow kicks...I'd say almost certainly AWS are steeper, not sure about Pizza.

I ride them with Thunder lights and the pop is quick and easy. Lost count of the number i've skated now, but it's my go-to shape.

Just set up a G069 ... twin nose ... one session in and I'm digging it and hoping I'm able to continue getting it.

For the sake of consistency, I'm gonna call the tips "tails".

I randomly got a hankering for riding a twin tail and the G069 dims got my attention. Got some not-yet-broken-in 149 Indy Mids that seem like a sweet fit on the 8.5.

Is the shape of the tails really that "nosey"? Are they fat and wide like a Hockey nose or a bit more mid-range, al a general DLX nose?

And how steep is the concave? With this kind of change I'm not too worried, just cause I have to get used to the set-up anyway, just wondering about general feel. Flat, mid, steep? The shape guide doesn't really disclose this.


Edit: i was mistaken, I was checking out the G096 - 8.5 twin nose

I haven't been able to skate for a bit as every weekend between family and clients has been taken for about a month an a half now but from what I remember it felt middle of the road.  But yes the shape is really that nosey... it is way different than a twin tail.

are you not able to go into a skate shop and just compare them? I've never seen a crail board as steep as a FA. I'd assume slightly mellower than AWS just from my experience but I've never skated any of the 8.25 crail shapes. Just 8.125 and below which all have been pretty mellow compared to most industry brands

oh gotcha. the Girl kicks aren't much different from the kicks on the standard Baker 8.0 or Magenta 8.0 in my experience.
the only thing that I could think of that may be different is the amount of fingers of flat

Most of the crailtap shapes I assume were made in the 90's/early 2000's so the shapes are probably on the "mellower" side compared to what's considered popular today (steep blunt noses, fuller shapes, etc.). That doesn't mean that they have the flattest boards. Just saying that they are no where as steep as a FA/Hockey

The G096 I ordered came in yesterday, I set it up and rode it once as of this moment. Concave feels pretty mid, more on the flatter side. It's a twin nose, and the kicks remind me of BBS noses (Similar size and steepness, maybe a touch mellower).

So far the board feels great though, the dims fit and work with the shape. 14" wheelbase might be my sweetspot and getting down to 8.5 feels so much more agile than the >8.5 sizes I've been riding. Twin tip has been a treat play with so far.

I put thunders 147 first and it was kind of ok. When i use tha nose as a tail i had perfect pop, but otherwise it is just not comfortable for my ankle. I had an ankle injury recently and this may contribute to the unpleasant feeling, so I decided to go lower with one old pair of royal lows so i could pop easier with the tail.  I hope when i am fully recovered and when the tail eventually mellows a bit i could enjoy the deck with the thunders, or i will ride it with the nose as a tail.

I skate the G027 almost exclusively along with occasional G069, I wouldn't call the G027 tail steep at all, quite the opposite.

The G069 pretty much feels like two G027 sawn in half and the tail ends glued back together.

I measured the tail at 21 degrees with the angle meter app, which should be medium (right?), but somehow it felt uncomfortable on the first sess. The nose is 20 degrees and i prefer it for the flip tricks. I guess i am a mellow tail guy :)
Now when i put low trucks and 50 mm wheels the setup felt right for me.
So other than my tail complaint, the deck is top, i like the mellow concave a lot and the wood is good.

I could be tripping but I didn’t feel like the G027 I’ve had tapered like the G052, even though I’ve heard it’s based on the G027... also feels way shorter to me on account of the shorter nose probably. An interesting thing about the G027 is that the tail is actually a hair longer than the nose but really it feels almost like a symmetrical shape. None of these things sound super appealing but for some reason the G027 boards I’ve had I’ve really enjoyed, just something about it felt super fun and maneuverable

The reason i like the G027 is because the tail is 6.8 " and the nose is 6.7" which makes it feel super close to symmetrical and not backwards when doing any shove it variations. As someone with a size 12 shoe, my only complaint is i wish Crail tap would use the same dimensions but up the width to 8.5-8.75.

Go27 and go52 have the same tail . Both boards taper at the back down to 8 from 8.25.

8.75 big boy Jr was one of the best shapes ever! Used to have same 3 fingera of flat longer tail. I wish they will make it again.

Have any of you guys ridden the G050 shape with 144 Indys? ~6.5 tail with a 14.44 wheelbase. And does that also taper to 8" toward the tail, because that's what I didn't like about the other 8.25 shapes.

Not sure if a 14.44 wheelbase makes sense for me on Indys.

Best tricks for G027 in your opinion?

I have my first one right now and love it on venture lights.

Thunder team 147-149
Venture 5.2

Why 5.2 over 5.6?
Did you try other trucks on them too?

I have a Malto, where the wild things are, on this shape. Pretty sure it was warped, brand new. The tail is so sick tho. Very pinner.
I skated a lot of 7.5s….but 7.6s and 7.75s and so on were always better for me

I have a G052 on the way. Haven’t had a Chocolate deck in years. Does the new wood stay pretty stiff for a good while? My DLX boards have been going soggy pretty fast lately.

Definitely.  It stays snappy for a while.  I was having the same issues with the most recent DLX boards I had a while back.

Yes, loveseat on ace 55 low with REAL wood risers on 52mm wheels is my new love affair. I’ve been a transition skater primarily my whole life. So wide boards and long WB has been my ride for the past 24 years but for some reason as I’ve gotten older and I’ve found a new passion for low impact box skating, curbs and flat ground.
Loveseat will be on rotation in my quiver for the foreseeable future.

I'm riding the Breanna shape, G045 right now after 4 or 5 G08's. It's a slightly shorter wheelbase w/ mellow OG concave. Works well w my short legs.
About to drop in on the 2 for $80 and try and grab another couple

this has got to be my favorite size/shape board ever. if I could take this shape, make the tail a hair longer, and lengthen the wheelbase to 14.1”, it would be perfect. 👌🏻

Wood is great, really stiff. There's a lot more flat after the bolts before the kicks so they feel longer to me than they are but honestly the shapes tend to be so different from one another it's hard to make a blanket statement.

I find they chip less than BBS and generally stay stiffer longer (oo-err)... I've only very rarely had a bad chip on the top or bottom of the nose or tail... skate a lot of flatground and easily get 2-3 months out of a crail board, and even then they aren't super sogged out or anything.

I've skated maybe 15+ girl/choc decks in the past 3 years and wouldn't ride anything else now i'm hooked on a couple shapes, although I do like BBS i'd say crail wood isn't a step down by any means.

Crail boards last longer, and have good to great dimensions. I wish they were flatter.
I don’t like bbs boards.

I do like ps stix boards, by quite a margin, they are the best for me. But…so many caveats with those, and lots of bad qc. I’ve never had a mis-drilled crail board. I haven’t had a crail board delaminate in some seemingly nonsensical way, crail boards are really consistent in their shapes, ps boards are not.

I had a G052 in mind but went with a G069 instead. First twin tail and first Crail board in a long time. The wood is crispy, paint is thick and still feels light. In regards to the twin tail experience I noticed that the tendency to use it in the same direction each time still exists. Since I am breaking in new trucks at the same time I made a conscious effort to skate it both ways on the first session to kind of break things in evenly. Aesthetically I like the look of the twin tail too.

I bought a G052 because I wanted to try to step up to 8.25 for the first time after skating 8.0s for years, and it's definitely not 8.25. I measured it and it's barely 8.125, and closer to the tail it's 8. Maybe a good stepping stone though because I also got an Alien 8.25 and that feels big for me.

The loveseat is the greatest skateboard ever made. 8 in a row now and 12 on ice straight up will never skate another shape for the rest of my days as long as they make it.

I skate it on titanium 159’s and love it, lighter than all my homies 8.25-8.5’s with standard trucks. Have one on ace 55’s and it’s also good but heavier.

i’m glad i never got ti 159s. i’d still be riding them. 159s were my favorite indy, which never made sense to me because i’ve always skated best on 8”, or less trucks. i got 159s to ride on a huffer, but was then trying them on everything for a bit, including an 8.25 chico…anyways, loved them. very butch.

I used to be an absolute devotee to the G027 but I think the G069 has overtaken it for me now as my favourite shape, I just wish they made a few more of them as they aren't as easy to stockpile as the 027.

I'm on my second loveseat in a row (with AF-1 66s) and I'm really stoked on the shape/construction . I typically snap tails bc I'm heavy footed and just generally bad at skating, but after 3 months the loveseat has shown no signs of breakage after plenty of wonky landings.

The biggest thing I had to get used to was the wheelbase, but with so many fingers of flat the short wheelbase felt pretty manageable. I don't skate transition at all so I can't speak on that at all, but for my flat ground and curb skating it's been a revelation

I haven't weighted it but it definitely feels lighter and i like it.
I am currently on g045 and after 1 month of sk8ing i love it. In the begining the tail was steeper, but now is just perfect in combination with thunder 147 and spits 50 (that were 54 when new last year).
Yesterday i bought g021 coz i think the shorter and slimmer deck will give me some more play in the flip game. The deck is from the fall of 2021 but it was super cheap. The graphic is shit, but i like Niels a lot so will slide the shit out of this paint. The kick are steep again (22 tail, 21 nose(, even 1 degree steeper than the g045 when new, but i know that after 3 weeks it is gonna be just perfect. There is another g021 on sale from the spring of 2021 and i am super tempted to get it too, but i have 2 other decks waiting in line and dont know if it is good idea to collect too much old wood. Anyways, Crail is doing a good job right now and i am a fan.

I don’t have two size equivalent boards to weigh, but I’m skating an 8” BBS deck with Indys and an 8.25” Chocolate twin tail with Ventures and the BBS setup feels a fair bit heavier, despite the Indy’s being hollow lights and narrower.

The image is really fried, but the af1 66s fit well for me. The trucks look better with v1 or classic shape wheels imo but I'm on the v6 bc they're the only bones x97s I have.

I think it's about 8.5 over the back truck and 8.75 over the front. Learned slappy crooks and squeaked out a few fs slappy crooks on this setup. It definitely has a serious heft when holding it in your hand but under your feet its stable, turny and (with 1/8" risers) the pop is manageable. It took me a while to get used to the timing since it was a lot quicker of a pop, but adding risers felt really beneficial to give me more time and lift the board up a bit higher.

So very similar. The Loveseat is literally a slimmed down version of the Couch. Most of the slimming is in the guts. Nose, tail and WB are exactly the same length. I personally prefer the Couch. I just like the outline curve better and it worked better for me for curbs and flat.

Thunder 151s are your friend.

Loveseat riders, what does it measure over front and rear axle?

Wondering if 8.5 trucks work or if 8.75 would be better.

Nose is 8.75 and tail is 8.5 if I measured right. Looking through the setup thread, looks like most slappers are hovering between the 8.5-8.75. 8.75 is probably gonna be more stable while the 8.5 will most likely flip a bit faster/easier.

I'm currently on AF1 66s (9.0) with the loveseat and it's awesome, but the hanger doesn't fit well on the curbs I've been skating so I'm actually gonna size down to AF1 55s (8.5)

Get the 60s if possible. I have em on my Couch and they fit great with wider wheels and have two washers inside. Thinking of getting the Loveseat next and they should pair perfectly with 60s.

I like my board light so I run titanium Indy 159’s on one set up and Ace 55’s on the other. Titanium 169’s on the couch.

Might give Indy Stage 4 166’s a try and see how that feels.

ti indys….so i’ve never been able to commit to (any truck) indys, mainly due to the weight. and then it was easy for me to not like indy when they were whatever after dlx, and not always as nice to the shops i enjoyed.
but. they are inarguably a great truck, and are possibly the most balanced option. they also work well with both large and small wheels, and that is rad.
i’ve said it before, but i make my whole slap account in an attempt to contact someone that was selling some ti indys on the classifieds page.
is the pop better than the ace 55s?
i had hollow 169s, and those weren’t amazing for me, but that’s just because i’m a wimp that can’t flick nollieflips, and 169s are big.

Would love to reas from some pal a little insight between loveseat vs couch
[close]

So very similar. The Loveseat is literally a slimmed down version of the Couch. Most of the slimming is in the guts. Nose, tail and WB are exactly the same length. I personally prefer the Couch. I just like the outline curve better and it worked better for me for curbs and flat.

Thunder 151s are your friend.

Thx for your reply :)
I'll eventually use AF1 55 on either of those. Also what would be the real deal on G027 vs G052?
between the g027 vs the 52's....I prefer the 52's. I feel like the nose is slightly more blunt shape, also I dont know if its me or not but I feel like the tail is more mellow by slightly. 52's has been my go to shape

That short wheelbase is just going to make it feel like your regular 8.25 but just with more wiggle room :-*

I agree 169’s are big and I tend to not skate the couch much as a result but the titanium 159’s on loveseat feels great. I will say that the Aces do feel like they have a bit more pop. I am the opposite of a gear head so this could be factually inaccurate but the Ace’s feel a bit taller to me and thus a little more ‘snappy’ which is great, especially paired with that turn they have…but that extra weight in conjunction with the unbeatable grind of an Indy always has me reaching for the latter. It’s fun to go back and forth between the two though.

yup, it's a carroll designed shape, all of his 8.375 signature models are on it. i had it once, it was super fun for scoopy tricks like 360 flips or fs flips but tailslides were hard af. i kinda suck at them so that might be part of it but i'm semi-consistent with front tailslides on 6.5 and up tails and with this shape i did like one in 10

I just want to say, I do like that their decks are mostly hovering around 60 retail while most other main brands are 70 plus per deck. There are often many on sale for around 50 if you poke around online retailers. Even tho I prefer BBS, I might have to convert since I go through boards so often and my local's shop decks are brittle clutch boards.

totally agree, on a few larger small sizes. the collegiate series…411 roomies. damn.


i insisted on 7.5s, at the time, but my best sessions were 7.75s (7.8s etc).
7.5 is really little, still have my partially skate tae/TAG board and it’s perfectly flat, but that thing is small small.

I rode both shapes for a few years. None of them is more mellow as the other. One of them has a slightly shorter tail, but I can't remember which one. You can also check the www.crailtap.com/shapes (http://www.crailtap.com/shapes) website which is really useful.

This is why I picked up a G053. I love the shape guide (should be an industry standard) and cheap prices compared to other brands.

What is everyone’s take on the G057?

All the other 8.5” boards come with short wb’s, but this one looks like it has good dims.
I skate a little bit of flat, curbs, smaller transition. Old man skateboarding.

Will the 6.5” tail work with venture hi’s? Or should I stick to Indy’s for this one?

My gut is telling me I’d want a longer tail if I want to try ventures.

Are the kicks flat enough?

I just picked up G096. The best experience I’ve had on a board was a 8.5 krooked with 14” wheelbase on ventures, with a close second on a very mellow 8.5 Sour. My setup for the G096 is ventures 5.8’s and 51mm 99 spitfire classics. Very excited to skate this.

I’m in the midst of a gear crisis where I have a 8.38/ 14.25wb krooked on Thunder hollows and 52mm wheels. Idk what I’m doing anymore. I just want my non flexible hips on my 6’ body to flick with ease.

It would be not fun with Venture Hi most likely it has a very short tail, decently steep kicks, long WB. Might have really heavy pop feel.

That G096 looks solid! I skate Indys, so that 14" WB feels a bit crammed to me (I'm 5'10") , but I do like that the tail isn't super short, unlike some of Crail's other shapes where your foot slips off while pushing.

Anyone have any experience with Indys on the G096? I have some Thunders that I could try, but I'd rather stick with my Indys

Post by: fakie nollie on August 27, 2023, 12:44:30 PM
Skated the G096 today and it felt great. Short enough to flail around but wide enough to where it feels solid to catch a flip. I’m coming off a couple of injuries so still skating with some restraint but it felt nice doing kickflips and rolling around the park.

I’m on ventures at 51mm wheels and it felt great. Everything I popped had a solid pop and I didn’t feel like I was misfiring or having to put in extra effort to pop higher.

the tail is very polarizing, with most people i’ve seen saying the same as you here.

i like it from a ‘hey this tail looks kinda like the sheffey toy soldier….man my life was so much better then’.
big wheels (or larger than 52), might make for some
crazy pop angles. 360 flips tho, very good

was skating the G030, and now skating the G016.  not a huge difference, but I do like the bigger nose on the G016, the mellower concave, and the shorter wheelbse.  the board feels a lil wider due to the concave and more nimble due to the shorter WB

16 has the fun tail too

gonna walk this back... did not enjoy the G016 at all, the tail is just too small, felt like i was going to step right off it everytime i stepped on the board.  put the G030 back on mid-session and all was great again.
[close]

the tail is very polarizing, with most people i’ve seen saying the same as you here.

i like it from a ‘hey this tail looks kinda like the sheffey toy soldier….man my life was so much better then’.
big wheels (or larger than 52), might make for some
crazy pop angles. 360 flips tho, very good
[close]

yea, just couldnt get comfortable on it. felt too cramped.

I haven't met a single person that has had a good experience on that deck.

i like it. if it was an 8 i’d skate it all the time. i don’t like a tail over 6.5, usually.

i’m sure some board wizard could figure out how in much taller wheels, you’d probably need longer nose/tail, and i’d be interested in that, but in general, i like a short tail. the griffin gass shape is the shit. a perfect 8.5, loved it with 149 thunders. if i ever get tempted to skate a wide board, that’d be the one. i’m sure it’s a complete coincidence that it has the same tail as their 7.75 that feels ‘like a skateboard’, or very much at home, for me. wish it was an 8.
anyways, i like the weird shaped tail

What is everyone’s take on the G057?

All the other 8.5” boards come with short wb’s, but this one looks like it has good dims.
I skate a little bit of flat, curbs, smaller transition. Old man skateboarding.

Will the 6.5” tail work with venture hi’s? Or should I stick to Indy’s for this one?

My gut is telling me I’d want a longer tail if I want to try ventures.

Are the kicks flat enough?
[close]

It would be not fun with Venture Hi most likely it has a very short tail, decently steep kicks, long WB. Might have really heavy pop feel.

Thanks man, maybe I’ll try it out one day, when I get some forged indy 149 and smaller wheels.

That G096 looks solid! I skate Indys, so that 14" WB feels a bit crammed to me (I'm 5'10") , but I do like that the tail isn't super short, unlike some of Crail's other shapes where your foot slips off while pushing.

Anyone have any experience with Indys on the G096? I have some Thunders that I could try, but I'd rather stick with my Indys
[close]

I rode Mid 149's on a few G096

WB felt short as hell for sure, but I didnt really mind since the tails are nice and fat. Personally, I instantly loved it - I'm 5'11'' btw

Appreciate the experience shared! The tail being bigger than the abysmally short 6.5ish of other molds is really tempting to give Crail another proper go again. My usual is always 14.25 - 14.5 WB on Black Label, AH, Polar, etc. brands.

The only other thing I used to dislike greatly on Crail was how long the fingers of flat was between the kicks and the truck holes. It always felt like my nose or tail would never lock in to a slide trick correctly because it would float awkwardly. Hoping the 096 doesn't do that

I stood on one at the shop yesterday and it's got the same large amount. To me it makes decks feel really long. My friend gets Girl flow and was saying it messed him up for a while but he really likes it now. Your feet have less of a chance of ending up too much on the kicks when you land, which makes the deck feel more stable (if the feet are on the kicks when you land you are more likely to swerve or slip out). And he can ride an 8.38 that is long but feels shorter than the DLX equivalent he rode before.

I have skated the g027 with thunder 147 and also with venture lo 5.2. It’s a great deck for trucks that push the wheelbase out. Hearing it was Kostons shape makes sense because it is a magical board

the last one i had was this really sick graphic cory did, i think. so it’s been a minute. i was deep into the weirdness and skated it on ace 44 classics with 56 conical fulls, neither truck, nor wheel, is something i’d prefer. it worked fantastic, for several sessions. and then something happened, bad day or whatever, and i took a look at the board and decided it was too visually weird. just the big wheels, nonsense.

i can see how ace 44s would work well, the af1s are that size pretty much.
148s would be a go.

i’ve tried to skate the tapered shapes on smaller trucks and it just messes with me. i was always more magic carpet, but then all of these damn kids made hot rodding look cool, and then i got stuck in that. i’m sure the same damn kids will make magic carpet look cool, and then i’ll be on the wrong side again.
at least kalis got to be sorta cool again, kept it trill. not me. when skinny jeans came around i went all in baby.

Just got one, never skated Baker, but I’m enjoying this shape so far. It’s more mellow than the BBS decks I’ve been skating. I measured it and it’s only 8.5 in the middle. By the trucks it’s like 8.25. Almost has a subtle egg shape when you really stare at it.

I agree the G016 is garbage. The tail is way too small. At least 75% of my boards in the last 7 or so years have been the G030 (the other 8.38), and while I would prefer the 14.25 wheelbase, the nose and tail are perfect IMO.

Anyone try the newish G059 (8.4)? It has the 14.25 WB but has a longer tail than the G030. I'm wondering if the tail is steep. I love the mellow tail of the G030. Seems like they are trying to replace the G030 with the G059. FWIW, the 8.38 BBS shape with the pointy nose and tail and 14.38 WB is nearly identical to the G030.

Setting up a G052 and I’m debating between Thunder 148 lights and Venture 5.6 cast ( which I already own both). As far as I can tell the G052 looks pretty similar to the FA 8.25 which I enjoyed with my Thunder lights. Anyone with experience on the G052 with either of these trucks could tell me your experience? I know if I don’t like one or the other I can always swap but I’d really like to set it and forget it so to speak. I’m on 54mm conical by the way and the Thunder baseplate thing is a non issue for me. Thanks in advance.

They need to always stock the g069 and it would be awesome if they made it in 8 and 8.125 as well.  If they made it in a McCrank/Kennedy that would be the cherry on top.

8" twin coming soon. :)

What trucks do you all prefer on your girl twins?

Currently on the G096 on venture His but starting to think my thunder team hollows might be the move.

I go back and forth between Thunder light and Venture standard. I’m thinking Thunder may be the move considering that both Crob and Malto prefer Thunder and those twins are centered around their skating. Probably going to go Thunder on my G052 for the same reason.

Any of y'all skating the G045 shape? I just got a Breana Geering deck and I'm really digging it a lot.

I switched to G45 from G27 last year and love it. I think it’s the same mold cut different.

Geering graphics are consistently the best of crailtap.

There is also a dwindle shape that is super close to the G45, I don’t plan on riding anything other than those two anytime soon.

I just put another one together over the weekend and this one feels really short. Was skating a Jesus G026 (I think), to try a little wider at 8.125 but still w/ 14" wb and didnt like that one. Tail was really short and had quite a bit of ghost pop
Gonna give it another couple sessions to fully decide on this Breana board. Maybe I can find an 8.125 that is a bit longer so nose/tail won't be so short.

Try and stand on a 27 when you can.

I think it’s the same mold as 45 but with a longer tail, and taper from 8.2 at the front bolts down to 8.

i’ve been into short tails. i might be open to a longer tail, now that i’ve been using bigger wheels.
you are correct, that is exactly how it works, the wb takes from the nose and tail.
i’ve been wondering if people that create the shapes focus on the length of the nose and tail, the overall length of the board, and then the wb just is what’s left over:

Interested in trying the G026 to see how different it is, but also curious about the April & Primitive 8.125s.

I recently looked at a G026 and was surprised it actually tapers down to about 8" at the rear truck. I personally think the G023 was a better shape, but I like straight rails. The old G028 shape was my favorite Girl shape of all time, but it looks like they're never bringing it back  :-\

The April 8.125" shape is really nice. Straight rails with a nice roundish tail and big nose. It actually measures 8.18" but is labeled as 8.125" for whatever reason.

April's 8.5" model is actually my favorite overall shape right now. Not sure if Guy Mariano had any input on designing that shape, but a lot of his models are that size. Back when Guy was still on Girl, his shapes were always my favorite, so I'm not surprised.

Loveseat riders, what does it measure over front and rear axle?

Wondering if 8.5 trucks work or if 8.75 would be better.
[close]

Nose is 8.75 and tail is 8.5 if I measured right. Looking through the setup thread, looks like most slappers are hovering between the 8.5-8.75. 8.75 is probably gonna be more stable while the 8.5 will most likely flip a bit faster/easier.

I'm currently on AF1 66s (9.0) with the loveseat and it's awesome, but the hanger doesn't fit well on the curbs I've been skating so I'm actually gonna size down to AF1 55s (8.5)

I was on the 052/027 for almost a year and a half. They both feel flat to me. I can't say all crail shapes feel flat. I've only skated the above mentioned and i'm skating the 008 right now. I feel the opposite. Just skated a clutch freedome board. A tad more steepness. Just enough for me to notice. Especially on the nose.

Word. The Toy Machine clutch deck I just rode had a mellow nose/tail. Measured them with a digital angel gauge. TM was around 19 degrees, Girl board was about 2 degrees more on both ends. I like flatter kick boards; ie Baker or DOA FAF. But I also like the straight rails on Crail boards. May check out April boards based on mentions in this thread.

some of the best boards i’ve ever had have been toy machine boards, but that was long long ago. because they source from so many different options, i haven’t been interested in ordering online.

G069 are great, i skate them interchangeably with G027s depending on what's available.

As a flatground skater I find the G069s last quite a bit longer because you're wearing the nose and tail a lot more evenly..it's also pretty handy not having to worry about board direction when doing fakie tricks etc.

Does the orientation of your trucks not bother you skating the board in varying directions? For me once my trucks are broken in, skating my board backwards purposely completely messes with my muscle memory and feels like driving a car that needs an alignment

That won't happen as much if it's a fully new setup and you skate your trucks the same tightness.  Then there is literally no difference unless you cut your grip asymetrical or have different colored bolts.  If your trucks are different or already have grooves I may mess with you a bit but still having a huge nose and tail is awesome either way

It sucks they don’t have that super short 8.1 shape anymore. I would run the hell out of that. I used to talk mad shit on their boards but the new ones are good. Some shapes have steeper kicks than others it seems.

Just got the G069 pop secret board.  Won't have a chance to skate it until next weekend but shit is heavy but feels super solid.  I'll check back in after I skate it.  As already noted the G069 shape is sick.  I also like knowing that these are individually pressed so everytime you get one it should be identical.

My 5 year old wanted one of the new hello kitty boards for Christmas so I paid full price to get the Breezy one for her, could have got the Carroll from SPOT for 30% off but it wouldn't have made it in time plus she likes girl skaters so I thought it would be cooler if she supported one and we sat and watched some of her footy together.  Most of the time I try to wait for the box deals and get 2 for cheap if it's for me.  But prices seem crazy to me in general because I didn't skate for a while ... I was like when did they stop being $50

Limo and Quasi are also more expensive on their site. I guess the thinking is that if you're going to mail order then paying $5 more to the brand and 100% going directly to them as opposed to a small pass through from a web store or conglomerate might be a better form of support.

The thing is that Crail isn't a small brand run by a few people like Limo.

Has anyone tried that combo?

I rode the G052 with Indy 144s for a month and can give you my personal opinions on that.

6.8 tail felt too long and pointy. 
14 wb felt too short.
nose felt okay, although a bit too round

What really drove me insane on that deck, was the taper towards the tail. The nose and middle of the deck was ~ 8.25" but the tail was only ~ 8". Every time I landed some kind of shove it move that tail was in the front and I feared to tweak my ankle if I step 5mm to the wrong side.

I gave this deck to my homie who is on 5.2 Ventures and he liked it.

Looks like there's a new, wider shape for Brophy: the G068. Everything looks identical from the G056, they just bumped up the width from 8.6 to 8.8, though it hasn't been added to the shape guide yet

Ever understood the hype for Brophy, is like a boring Jake Hayes.

Currently considering the GO 33 or 59, and wondered if anyone had skated them recently and if the kicks were mellow. Current deck is an old shop one with a 19 degree kick which is very nice.
Late answer, but i have secondary board with G033 Capps City series deck. I would say kicks are more like medium than mellow. Really like the shape though with Indys.

The G069 shape has been calling my name lately. Are the kicks on it the same steepness? I feel like I could skate a twin with mellow kicks, but if they're both like twin nose steep, that would be weird asf.

Skating one now, and it’s pretty great. I’m still favoring skating it in one direction because the graphic isn’t symmetrical, but the kicks truly feel like a hybrid of nose and tail and it’s nice to know if I accidentally throw my board down “backwards” it doesn’t matter. Since it’s a crail board, it’s pretty mellow in steepness and concave. I’m ready for them to drop this rumored 8” twin tip now…

I replaced my last one before it was soggy so I can't say I noticed that and my newest is a pop secret and I've heard those keep shape and stay firm forever so we'll see.  I may swap it out for a McCrank though if any are still available if I can't get used to the weight of this pop secret though.  It's great for cruising around and tranny but I can feel the weight big time when my weak ankles try to flip the board

I bought a chocolate 7.875 with the G021 shape (31.25 lenght and 13.9 wheelbase), I can't wait to try it. I usually ride 8 and I wanted something smaller both in width and length but not too much, I think 7.8 is the right compromise for neither too small nor too wide. Especially for me who is small with my 5.7 ft and 8 shoes size haha But I remember loving the girl shape when I was riding 8.0. I think this g021 will be a real pleasure!

Skating a G069 right now.  From what I recall they are individually pressed, so the shape/concave/feel should be exactly the same every time.  I like that thought.  Also the snap is great.  My friend skated his forever and only stopped because of eventual razor tail and weird chipping on the bottom.  Those are the pros.  Cons would be the weight.  They are tanks.  If you flip your board a lot, be prepared for that.  If you just cruise skating tranny and shit you probably won't notice it.  He recently switched back to a normal board after retiring his and he was like "that board was like a resistance trainer, shit flips so easy now" haha.  Overall I'm not unhappy with it, but I also don't flip my board a ton these days.  The ankle could definitely feel the weight when I signed on for a game of skate the other day though  :D

I wish every company had a shape guide like that. The G033 I have is around 19/20 degrees for tail and nose, respectively. Most of the BBS boards I was skating were somewhere between 22-24 degrees. Plus BBS boards have that dip before the kicks go up which might make them feel steeper. I dig that the Crail boards are flatter in that area.

Their shape guide is the best part about shopping for Crail products.

Got both a G069 and G096 and the kicks on the G069 look noticable fuller and rounder, similar to a the popular full nose deck (Quasi comes to mind), looking more nose than tail.

The G096 has a sharper angle towards the nose and looks more tail than nose, that's stopping me from immediately setting that up.

Yes that's the one! Maybe even 8 at the back truck front truck is like 8.23 or something. Always seems to me like if you were skating any other board backwards.

My preferred "norm sized board", the rest are 7.75....
I like it on thunder 147 but I think 5.2 low will be beautiful as well.

A while back I got the 2 decks and wheels deal they had going. I got a 052 and an 027. I skated them back to back. I really could not tell a difference in any of my skating. I like the 8 1/4 with the shorter wheelbase. So I just ordered which ever was in stock on tactics. So I've gone through a handful of them. Again, really can't tell a difference.

Yeah there is the G052 shape but it tapers to like 8" around the tail which made me really nervous with every trick that involved a shuv. You know sometimes when you land a varial heel with one foot in the middle of the deck and one foot on the nose. Those were some scary times. And the tail was like 6.8" which felt huge to me. Just my madness, others love the G052 shape.
Title: Re: Girl Deck Shapes
Post by: smg1138 on February 12, 2024, 01:58:58 PM
Yeah the long tail and taper on the G052 are deal breakers for me. My ideal Crail board would be 8.25 w/ 14.25 wheelbase, 6.5 tail, 6 7/8 nose. Basically a G008 that's 8.25 wide but has the same overall shape would be perfect. Seems like so many 8.25's I've seen have super long tails or some weird taper to them.

I have a few setups currently with one being a G033 and I love it. I completely agree with it being “easy to skate” compared to a lot of other boards I’ve ridden. Everything just works great and feels so natural. Definitely picking up another once this one is done and it’ll probably be my primary choice of deck going forward.

Pop Secret question: can i balance out the extra weight with say, tensor mag trucks?

From experience, yes. It still feels different than a standard setup, but it didn't take long for me to adjust. I skated a couple G028 pop secret decks awhile back and actually felt the tensor mags were a little too light. I ended up really liking those with thunder titaniums. I think what threw me off the most was how stiff and inflexible the pop secret decks felt as opposed to the extra weight.

I can't answer that but I can tell you I'll be getting rid of my G069 pop secret deck soon.  The weight is felt big time in my ankles on flip tricks, and while it may be strengthening them it also hurts these old ankles.  It is an amazing deck other than that though.  The snap is ridiculous

Currently considering the GO 33 or 59, and wondered if anyone had skated them recently and if the kicks were mellow. Current deck is an old shop one with a 19 degree kick which is very nice.

Late answer, but i have secondary board with G033 Capps City series deck. I would say kicks are more like medium than mellow. Really like the shape though with Indys.

An even later answer, I got the GO33 deck and love it. It's actually mellower than the shop deck which I have deduced was an HLC mellow.

Just got the Malto G089 and it looks great! Seems like the main difference from the G052 is straight rails, slightly more blunted nose, and a more tapered tail. Dimensions between the G089 and G052 are the same though. Comparing them side by side, it looks extremely similar to April's 8.25" shape and dimensions.

So are the majority of crailtap boards made for venture/thunder? What boards do they sell that work with shorter wheelbase trucks like Indy or royals even? Asking for a friend
A lot of them do have shorter wheelbases but they still have a decent amount of boards with 14.25 and up. Four shapes with 14.25, three with 14.4375, one with 14.5, and two with 14.75.

I did skate like 6 (G052) decks around 2018-9 paired with classic Ace 44 and set up felt quite tuned imo.

my best experiences w/ ace classic 33s and 44s were with girl boards. G027 (i think), with the 44s was great.

i have had better luck not trying to match wb to trucks.

Anyone skating the new 8" twin tip?
Might be the next up after I burn through these 2 decks I got with the bundle.
8" with a 14"WB has been my shit for the last couple boards.

Currently considering the GO 33 or 59, and wondered if anyone had skated them recently and if the kicks were mellow. Current deck is an old shop one with a 19 degree kick which is very nice.

Late answer, but i have secondary board with G033 Capps City series deck. I would say kicks are more like medium than mellow. Really like the shape though with Indys.

An even later answer, I got the GO33 deck and love it. It's actually mellower than the shop deck which I have deduced was an HLC mellow.

And later still…I have a Capps and a Geering G033 and really love the shape with some Indy 149s. Very comfortable.

Bummed ... just got my box and this was the first time they didn't send the shapes I requested.  May not do it again.  Was looking for any of the twins but ended up with a G027 AND A G0008.  The 27 has a longer tail than nose ... does anyone else find that weird?

I think the g033 was one I was looking at but the short tail really put me off. You have to skate the 8.4 just to get. 14.25 wheelbase which is where the jist of my initial question came from. Everything really is 14 wb just like primitive I guess.

The G008 has 14.25” wheelbase and it’s 8” wide

Same thing happened to me. Will never order the mystery box again.

I avoid the boxes. Mostly cause I hate some of their graphics, and it’d make me not want to skate that deck. It’s dumb, but I don’t do slides so my graphics never get destroyed.

What do you expect it’s a mystery box…

They usually take shape requests. There’s an option when you order.

On my second one, was skating Ishod 8.0 twin previously... definitely prefer the Crail shape/WB to the Ishod

Can't find it anywhere near me. I've been on the Geering 8" boards with 14" WB. Even if the graphics are horrid. I got the $100 bundle with 8.125 boards. I was scared to get anything over 14" WB so I ordered a shape that only has a 14" WB.

Yeah I am tight with the local owner, so anytime he puts in an order he asks if I need anything specifically... I also tend to order 5-6 decks at a time, that way I am not having to search everywhere for a shape I want.

Lemme know if you want one, he has one in stock and can ship...

I expected to get the shapes I requested as I had in every other crail mystery box I've ever ordered.  This is the first time they didn't
