Nice! Is this the steep concave Pennswood makes?

Nah it isn't - I tried those but I like mellow stuff the best. It's nice to be able to pick out boards from the whole lot so I can grab the shallow stuff

Gotcha, I ride a lot of their deep concaves, but recently tried one of their “matador” concaves and it turns out I really like that shape too. I am thinking of doing what you did and getting some of those two shapes made in bulk and selling off the ones I don’t ride to local shops

Noticed you've been on the Clearweathers a bit. How do they fit? Usually skate authentic or era pros, but I've been interested in trying a pair out.

You really can’t go wrong with any politic board. South central wood is the best.

The fit is about the same as the era pro but the shape of it feels more sturdy on the upper part of my foot.

I don't think body size and set up size correlate really. I'm 6', 200lbs and I ride 7.75s. I'd ride a 7.5 if I could find one over 31.5" long.

Yea you're right, its just probably easier for you to change it up if you wanted is all. I couldn't make an 8 or over work if i wanted. I tried a bigger Bam board a long time ago... I couldn't anything with it, too heavy for me. Immediately went back to a Shortys mini haha

They are the best in my opinion. I have noticed they are harder to come by. Hopefully spitfire keeps making them.

Scumco 8.25 Cyborg and an 8.25 Alltimers
Krux with allen kingpins
Probably Shorty's hardware?
Bones Swiss 6 (I cash out on bearings for some reason)
Been skating F4's for so long decided to try Bones STF's again
Either Mob M-80 or Jessup, I know the Alltimers got M-80
Jordan 4 Pure Moneys and the Tom Knox Lost Art NB 440's

I always forget how much I like Scumco boards, I just have a weird thing about wood grain showing and that seems to be their thing, they're still my favorite

I wanted to skate Hockeys and FA's since I love the team and graphics but none of them ever last that long, at least for me, I'm hoping Alltimers remedies that

The 4's skate surprisingly well and last like tanks, the 440's are almost too nice to skate haha

Shop blank with ventures and 51 spitfire big heads.  I got some reality grip and spitfire classic bearings which are not bad for the price.
