Wasn't there an 8.25 with a larger than average wheelbase? I'm looking to pick up one. Maybe a Full.

There's three now:

Regular 8.25"x32" with a 14.38" wheelbase; it's not a common one, seems to be used more in the Krooked lineup than R/AH
New Full 8.25"x32" with a 14.25" wheelbase
OG Full 8.25x32.2" with a 14.5" wheelbase

Really hoping for the a full with the 'mid' WB...and the 8.18" full got pushed to 32"

8.25x31.84x14.38 - is that too much to ask ANY manufacturer to make? Creature atleast has the 8.2x31.9x14.375

Why can't Real make a low pro without that horrendous graphic? Love the shape but the graphic is too much for me. Also, a low pro with full nose and tail would be perfect.

Not horrendous but better than usual.

8.18"x31.84" so few models use this, one of my favs if not THE favorite shape.

+1, love this shape. I would also be down for a 8.25 shorty.
i saw my grandma bail off a 4 set once in my house and she even got up and came to red lobster after.

Just bought and started skating a fairly new Anti Hero
full shape 8.5 board. It has a more squared out nose and tail
similar to the FA camp boards but with more of a mellow concave.
Overall a solid shape.

The board prior to the full shape I skated was an Anti Hero 9.2 Cardiel Oro shaped board.
I compared it to a Girl CK Phawt shape deck (that fuckin snapped the first day)
and the two shapes were practically identical.
I absolutely loved the shape and overall quality of the board.
Ended up masking off everything else but the horseshoe on the graphic
and painted it black. Decided to retire the deck due to hefty stress cracks and ended up
hanging it on my wall.

That Cardiel 9.2 shape is called the huffer. That is the best shape ever!! I wish they made it more often. Crazy that Cory Kennedy skates them so much that girl finally made the shape for him. He gets all tech and gets all tranny on that thing. I wish I had another one.

that 8.125 ishod wair x mr. tucks board with a slightly shorter wheelbase would be awesome.

Interesting. Got any more specs? I'm interested in the measurements, especially the 8.38" and 8.5" ones.
[close]

would dig the current ishod tt as is dimension-wise just 'full'
Anyone have any more info on these(specifically when they drop)?  Trying to set aside some money for the 8.38 now

I'm stoked as fuck on these. I love the 8.38 fulls shape but its just too long for me because I'm such a shortass bitch. I tried skating the 8.38  full I bought for as long as I could but I just fucking sucked even worse than normal on it. I'm thinking of moving down to 8.25 for a bit as well so I'm stoked on that too.

The Roman Numerals represent the position of the decks in the mold (we press four at a time).
Number I is on the top and will have a bit steeper concave, and IV is on the bottom and will be a bit mellower.

I'm riding a Justin Brock full shape and loving it. It's 8.06 x 31.91 with a 14.44 wheelbase. There was an 8.18 shape some years ago that felt somewhat similar, not as narrow nose & tail as the usual Real shapes and I rode a whole bunch of those.

This is a beautiful skateboard I'm skating right now. These full shapes are definitely a good move on DLX's part.

Remember when Creatures used to be full/wide noses?

After skating quasi/wknd/dlx fulls everything else under 8.3 seems pointy/too tapered

Does this mean that the same board graphic and size can have a different roman numeral? The differences in concave are pretty drastic so would be good to know.

Yes. They typically don't press different sized boards on the same press. And the difference in concave with DLX boards is much more minimal than a lot of companies. I've got a I and an IV and the I is barely more steep than the IV.

Hell yeah, that shape is golden. Seems to always sell out
any season they drop. I'm tempted to buy another girl ck board
but I'm still traumatized by the shit quality of the last one.

How does the 8.18 x 31.84 full shape compare to the 8.06 x 31.5 shape on Krookeds? Some websites list the length as 32... the wheelbase should be the same, are the nose/tail shorter, steeper, what?
