I'm not sure why but they skipped them this season or something....they are kinda hard to find right now....

Sales.

Maybe the novelty has probably worn off?

How many different 8.125 shapes does DLX have right now? I want to skate DLX boards more but I can't get on with the 14.38 wb. It's kinda weird to me that DLX manufactures trucks that extend a setup's wheelbase and also have mostly long wheelbase decks out.

I’ve seen a few real 8.125x31.38 decks with 14” wheel bases I want to try. I’ve been wanting to try a deck with those dimensions since I saw an MJ Chocolate with them but would rather get DLX quality than Crail wood.

Width - 8.125"
Length - 31.38"
Wheelbase - 14"
[close]

I've had 4 of the DLX decks (Real & Antihero) that are 8.125" x 31.38" w/ 14" wb and have absolutely loved them.

The shapes for all 4 have been consistently the same (band-aid shaped with a medium concave). The only thing that may bug some people is that the nose is a little short, so it feels more like a "twin-tail" deck. The nose definitely measures under 7" (maybe around 6.75"?)

Anyways, I dig short boards and the 14" wheelbase feels a lot more responsive than the standard DLX 14.38 wb.
I really wish DLX would put out a few 8.25's or 8.38's with a 14" wb... (Where you at Lenny?)

Edit: SoCal has a few up with the full dims

I know antihero makes that 8.28 with a short WB I think it could be 14.1

Been riding this shape for a while.. I keep the sticker in my wallet so i dont forget.

8.28" L 31.7" WB 14.12"

Was that switch?

I've ridden that one a couple of times, WB is a tad tight for me but it worked using Thunders.

New Drehobl shape, looks interesting as fuck.

Recently I switched to Polar 1990 shape and that got me hyped on 9+ boards, for some reasons 8.75/8.8 wasn't enough.

I hope that this one is better than the Grosso shape (not a fan)
brbraaah.

Yeah i made the change to Indys after riding Thunders for like ten years.. I wanted a shorter wheelbase and higher truck, and the indys helped with that on a board with a shorter wheelbase.
Was that switch?

Does anyone make a 8.5-8.75 x32+ with long wb, square-ish Quasi/WKND nose, tapered tail, on a medium/mellow concave?
Sorry if this was brought up, didn’t feel like sifting through 16 pages.

What’s up with that Austin Kanfoush deck? It looks interesting, and I’ve been seeing them around more often. I asked someone at a grocery store about it but she said that she got it for the graphic, which doesn’t really help.

Kanfoush shaped deck looks great. Slightly squared tail with small wheelbase 14 and 1/8 or thereabouts.

How come DLX don't  make an 8x32 shape like the Pass~Port or Polar? It's the wood shop right?
I'm just not a fan of the 8.06

I'm not trying to be a dick, but you can really tell a 1.5mm difference in deck size? That's like 4-5 sheets of paper.

It's not the width, that would be absurd, it's the nose. there's no spoon to it, it's too pointy.

DLX boards seem a hair wider than at least what the axles are measured at.....an 8.125 looks perfect for an 8.25 truck...

AH navy eagle is 8.5 w/ 14.25. 
AH 'Raney shape' is 8.63 w/ 14.25. 
AH Kanfoush 'Yinzer shape' is 8.55 w/ 14.125.
There's also a 8.4 w/ 14.25.
Enjoy your life.

The shaped,  8.35 Au natural AH board is the best shaped board I've ever put a foot on. I do wish the nose wasnt quite as pointy. It would even be dope with a nose that matched the square tail.

Was wondering about this as well... Do dlx width's measure true?

I thought I heard other woodshops will measure with the concave, so they might appear more narrow.

That full SE looks perfect to be honest.

Fuck a slick bottom cause not everyone else rides them, turns your average broken in, waxed up skatepark ledge into an ice rink.

I like that Real seems to run a smaller line of boards versus companies that do an insane number of series.  I do wish though they'd do the twin all the time, it's in demand enough.

I'd love shorter wheelbase like 14.25 on an 8.5-8.75 deck

I've got a Death 8.75 with a 14.25 wheelbase, mellow concave and full, near symmetrical proportions. Would recommend.
