Is it just the picture or is your tail actually a mile long? 8.28 sounds like a beautiful size
It’s 6.75”, nose 7.15”.
europe's like the capitol of england and france and whatever

It sucks getting old.

My last board was Primitive 8.25 and this shape is almost identical to it, just a slightly steeper nose and man, I’ve fell in love with this shape. Nice,long kicks and short wheelbase 8)

I was contemplating the 8.4 shovel nose version of this board for quite some time

Impish sausage is definitely gonna blow up as a euphemism this year

I can’t speak on how they compare to F4’s ( never had a set) but these are the perfect wheel for me based on formula and shape. They aren’t super hard but slide well.

Do the Real regular 8.38’s (not full) have a wider nose than antihero and Krooked?  I got a Krooked 8.38” that seemed too tapered.  The 8.38” full I had was TOO wide.  Now I’m on a Krooked 8.25” full.

To my knowledge, all the dlx shapes transfer across the board.
Although you never see a real 8.28 or antihero ishod twin shape.
But essentially 8.25 in all 3 brands should be the same.
But also consider that boards are hand shaped and sanded, could easily getonce slightly more than the others.

I typically skate the full shapes and this 8.38 seems about the same. Not too far of from the AntiHero 8.38 I had either. It’s maybe not as square as the actual Full shapes but I don’t think it tapers as much as your krooked did. I was actually looking at a krooked deck j the shop before I bought the Real and while the dimensions were the same, I could see how the Krooked shape might be a little more on the tapered side. I don’t know for sure though, you could probably found out if you ask in the DLX shapes thread

Ditched the Hockey already because I hated the steep nose and tail and the quality is gutter trash. Chipped on it's first impact with something hard and paint is flaking off.

Got a Polar 8.5- what companies have a similar shape with the large nose, sorta pointy tail, moderate wheelbase?  I think it is 8.5x32x14.5

Why don't you just keep skating the Polar 8.5's?  I'm on my second and they're really durable.

Usually I try to, but my local Skateshop does not have polar boards on stock right now. Also I normally rather skate mellow concave, but the quality and pop of the generator polar boards totally convinced me.
