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!


When did this start? Just picked up a Sebo with a II on the top. Never noticed it, but my last DLX board was a few months ago.

Still waiting for the DLX equivalent to Baker's W 8.475 x L 31.875. I know they make that Beres popsicle board 8.5 and 31.85, but I'm hoping to see something around 8.35-8.45 wide and 31.75 long. I kind of liked that AH dingbat board dimensions but it tapered too much and felt really narrow near the back trucks.

We started doing this late last year, but there are still some older models out there that do not have the markings.

there is a shape that chris cole uses from bareback that is super good. You guys should start using it. It's an 8.5 with probably id say 32.25 or 32.1 and its kinda mellow with a flat tail

How about some twin tails in different sizes?? I really like the 8.3X31.9, but what about a 8.38, or 8.5 twintail??

Creature made some, but I'm not a big fan of NHS.

If you go back a few pages, in this very thread, you'll see the request and a little snippet of what could be.

Does anyone know if this board is still in production and what the dimensions are?

I think you're out of luck there Tangar, i havent seen one of those around for a little while. If I remember right it was 8.75 not sure on the length though, they're bound to make another sweatpants board at some point surely

Is the Grosso 9.25 anti hero the same shape as the BA one? I finally got my hands on the lance mountain BA one but don't wanna skate it now. The dimensions look the same and the Grosso ones don't sell out as quick as the BA ones.

I believe the lance art BA and his current 9.25 board are the same shape, different from the grosso

I think Grosso and BA have their own somewhat similar but different shapes.

I'm vouching for whatever the new 8.25 shape is that these dudes sent me. The Kyle Walker board with the lady holding a beer is the one I have so I know for sure it's on that board. She's built like an 8.5, but flies like an 8. Big nose and big fat ass. 36-24-36 and she's 5'3".

The Grosso is longer by about .75" and has a much longer wheelbase (>15"). BA's shape has a 14.38" WB. The shapes are exactly the same though.

They made a parade graphic one in yellow and pink and the vest one just came out. So don't be afraid to hang the lance one and find one of the newer graphics to skate. That shape is fun.

I'm on an 8.25 x 32 with a II stamped on the top. Love it.

Anyone ever skated the Anti Hero 8.28 x 31.65? I think usually Julien Stranger pro models have that shape.

I am skating that shape right now. I went from the 8.25x32 DLX shape. The 8.28" has a short wheelbase (14.125" compared to the 14.38"). The board pops quicker and is easier to flip/shove. I only have a couple sessions on it so far but as of now I feel that the board is a little too short.
How much for an order of ribs?

The WB on that is like 14" width and length are great but it's a honking nose and tail for something that short

Was it the shorter 8.25 full? Been riding one too, it's about dead tho, love it! Tail has an interesting taper to it.

Yeah I think it's either right at or just over 32". I got a note apologizing for it not being under 32" because I'm so cool. I'm back on the 8.5x32 PS wood though.

Yeah, it clocked in at 8.25x32x14.24" WB but the full width. Pretty sweet.

bought my first 8.38 instead, a deathwish with 14.5 wb, feels perfect

Just picked up an AH 8.5" full shape...

this could be shape I ride until I'm done...

Nice long tail 6.75" and 14.6 wheelbase. Holds its width nicely the entire length. Might  even beat out my old faithful 8.62". Stoked.

I'd just committed to the 8.25" B2 baker shape (deep concave and 'squared' nose and tail) - the new 'stacked' series is 31.875", old stacked series is 32.125 or some shit (prefer the shorter shape) but man the dlx 8.25" shorter@32" full is so good...if they make them for the next drop, those of you on the full-train will love them....still wish they'd make that 8.25" shape (usually krooked) that has the slightly longer wb and isn't point in a full.

NHS seems to have brought back the 8.2x31.9x14.353 shape for the latest run so I'm going to jump ship over there.

Seen one Krooked deck with the new 8.18 full shape. Any idea when this shape is going on some Real decks? I want a new board and am torn between 8" and 8.25" and feel the 8.18" would be a good stepping stone.
