i cant dictate for an 8.5

but if you were to make a twin 8.06, i suggest it be different.
jim t was asking one day, i suggested doing something fun for anti-hero and do a twin nose gerwer deck.
do something fuller like 6.75, the 6.6 for a twin tail is fine but if somethign was twin nose it should be fuller but not quite 100% of a normal nose .

 8.5x14.75 or 15

but more realistically 14.38 or .5

Been skating an 8.38 Full deck and it's one of my favorite shapes ever. I'll probably ride these exclusively for my next few boards. Interested in trying the low Pro's too
[close]

DO IT!!!

Got a low pro in that same 8.38 Full shape and it's been great! im definitely gonna skate these for my next 3-4 boards. would definitely be hyped on a twin nose shape!

I'd rather the current twin tail (8.3x31.9, 14.3WB) just get a fuller nose and tail and call it day....;) I'm not getting the logic of make a board 'fuller' somehow necessitated making them longer with longer WBs...couldn't they have just been fuller...wknd and FA do it...AW..creature...

For an 8.5 twin tail, 8.5x32x14.38 - make it more of a hybrid tail/nose than a twin tail. Go skate a creature evilive series, I thought I 'd like it, 8.25" 14.5" WB but the tails are soooo short, it just feels long and weird.

Also, make it a low pro II =D and slick...with slide and sniff glitter embossed pink flowers and shit graphic that smells like a glade spray...you'll sell bajillions...

One thing I don't understand about dlx boards is why you have 8.06/8.18"s with long WBs, 8.38s longer than your 8.5s and an 8.25" full with a 14.5" WB...it's crazy land ;) oh and those 8.38x32.45 fulls with a 14.62 wb ----loopers....was it that 'one guy' who just sanded them too much to do a 32.5?

Could you also list the WBs in the drop catalogs? Soooooo helpful.

The 8.38 full is great, and personally I like the longer wheelbase. A wider "twin nose" with longer WB would be nice too. But for now I'm sticking with the LowPro II in 8.38 full.

At almost 33" doesn't that feel weird? What are you skating? Street? Park?

I am skating that board for street and park. The longer wheel base is so nice, and the full is fractionally shorter than the standard 8.38" wide decks. Also, I'm older and don't do too many flip tricks, if any.

i kinda want to a try a board thats longer than 33", like  a 33.3" or a 33.5" on like a 8.8 so it doesn't feel like i'm trying to land back on a 2x4 plank

Anyone know the wheelbase on the Ishod High Performance deck?  8.1x31.38 sounds good but not if the wheelbase is too long.

14.5 wheelbase, Nose/ tail minimum 6.5".

Would actually love to try a symmetrical board at some point...

A twin nose 8.3-8.5 with a wheelbase shorter than 14.5, I would definitely buy.

If possible please start labeling your boards mellow or steep concave, like how Baker does it. Thank you.

We actually currently do this!

On the top sheet of each deck, near the top bolts, there is a Roman Numeral (I-IV) that corresponds to that board's placement in the mold.

I-is at the steepest, and IV-is the mellowest.

Hope this helps!

Damn, after all these years of buying dlx boards I had no idea. Thats really sick. But maybe it would be better if you guys could have a more explicit label denoting the concave, perhaps on the sticker that has the width, wheelbase etc. I feel like 99% of people, especially those who haven't been on this thread of slap, will have no idea what the Roman Numeral means if they even notice it.

I just noticed this on my new Real I swooped up and was wondering what it meant. I like how even the mellowest concave isn't flat at all. And make more boards like the new 8.6 Ishod spectrum! That would be pretty much the only shape I'd buy besides a smaller 8.375, 8.38 on occasion.

^What he said. Except I'm on my 5th or 6th.


I just bought a new 8.06 Full. I know I was skeptical about them when they came out but after going from the Full that Lenny sent me (thanks again) back to the standard, I decided I missed the extra real estate on the Full.

Also, the more prominent sizing copy on the boards is nice.
