My local got some blanks a while back. Weird dimensions. I'm talking 8.1 with a 14.75wb...

It's alright. I've been skating nothing but prime for about 2 years now.
Me and my buddies turned our skate crew into a company of sorts and my homie already had a friendship with someone at prime, so it worked out real naturally.
I feel like there might be some quality control issues. Maybe 1 out of 4 boards will snap right away. Then others will last 2 months. And I've had some that chip up really bad. Like crumbly chipping, falling apart.
Before that; I was skating nothing but Bareback wood for 12 years or so. Now there is some solid wood.
Compared to bareback, a prime board is thinner.
I've been riding an 8.25. The wheelbase is like 14.625. Little longer than most. And I like it. Or at least, I'm used to it now. About 6 months ago I got a SK8Mafia (bareback), 8.25. But the wheelbase was smaller. And it felt weird having my feet close together. Also, a bareback 8.25 always measures a little under 8.25. Any size for that matter. While prime is right at 8.25. So it's actually a little wider than a bareback.

This dude who owned goodwood, which is a zumiez brand, bought primewood at some point.

No idea how it compares to the original prime from the early 90's that pressed all the Rocco brands.

by definition there can only be one prime woodshop, and it's south central
