I had one Quasi that was too stiff and too steep. The soggier flatter ones I enjoyed the most and usually Bledsoe 8.3s are pretty good usually in the middle steepness. I like PSstix boards but dont like the forward feeling due to short tails and longer noses which dlx boards feels center even if you skate the board backwards

This. Did the stiff Quasi you had have all raw wood plies? As in no dyed plies

It was the Quasi "Graphic" deck with the cherries and it was only middle ply that was stained the rest was natural. It was so stiff it would throw me off balance when I did anything besides ollie.

I have the current Proto 8.25 deck. Squared tips, stained middle ply. Thing is weird, but super fun to skate.  The nose and tail are a tad short, which is super weird for nollies.

Can anyone comment on similarity between the Polar 8.375/8.5 shapes and the Killing Floor or Anti Hero shapes in the same size?  Looking at the Kanfoush decks or a few of the others.

That shape is my favorite 'full' type [and quasi] shape, been tempted to pick another one up after my current board is toast; I prefer the short tail on it; rode it with thunder 147s and could vault my ollies, super fun.

Been a minute since I've had the Polar in 8.3, but I remember it feeling close to DLX specs (same woodshop after all). Maybe a smidge mellower concave on the Polar, AH's can be a bit steep. Biggest difference would be wheelbase. AH's in those widths can have anywhere from 14.5-14.75" wb. Polar's also run a bit shorter overall.

Socal's site has pretty good measuring charts for all their decks to nerd out on.

Blenders 'Heated Wheel' decks are Watson Laminates, as is his G&S reissue. 

From my time with his Heated Wheel decks, they do a sick job.  The stains are amazing.

8.5 with 14.25 wheelbase is my favorite right now, Colony, Hockey, DOA, all make them for sure (all different woodshops).

last three hockey boards (bbs?) i've had just delam/crumble/deteriorate way quicker but i'm so particular about that one shape - 8.5x32, 14.25 wb, full/square nose and tail but not as steep as quasi.

anyone know what shop DOA uses? i might grab that pulp board even though i hate buying decks online.

DOA uses Clutch and they are great. What size are you looking for? DOA is doing a couple shapes/sizes with different dimensions. (wb, length, etc)

Quasi's newest 8.5x32 have that wheelbase and square nose/tail. I noticed my Proto 2 deck was less steep than the other Quasi so I emailed them and asked which decks have this exact same shape.  Catherine, Lux, Proto, and the ++ Crockett decks all do.

i ordered the DOA Pulp online, we'll see how it feels once it gets here. DM'd the dude and it seems like it'll work.

i liked all the bbs boards (multiple aws 3.0, isle and dlx boards) i’ve skated before but this baker i’m skating right now feels different and in some ways worse (chipped more easily and razortailed quicker), even though it seems like they’re made in the same place. i live in europe though so i’m wondering if they aren’t using some different manufacturer here. is it just me or do they use different wood for europe, like flip or skatemafia?

Need a good recommendation for a board that's skinny (as in ply thickness,would skate a 6 ply board if I could), square-ish nose and tail, a medium concave and anything from 8.1 - 8.25. Closest I've encountered were mother/early quasi boards but I don't know if I'm tripping but I feel like they've gotten flatter and and a tad thicker over the years. Not prepared to skate a flight board either.

Opposite no?  Early Quasi was ps which tend to be thicker than BBS.....do P2's seem a bit thinner?

For Baker I doubt it as they are pretty pricey in Europe (70EUR), maybe just a Monday board :)
I recently saw a Baker in the wild here and it seemed nothing changed in the last years (pointy shape).

Aside from DLX brands, who else uses the same 8.5 shape as Anti-Hero? I cracked my Daan board but I really liked how flat it felt and it feels really weird switching to my 8.5 Polar backup board, which feels pretty steep compared to the AH.

I've had two Polar 8.375s and liked them a lot but havent skated a TKF or AH board in that size. As I said above, AH had mellower concave and looked/felt wider than an 8.5, more like an 8.6. Polar also had a longer tail, methinks. I might be able to take some side by side pics of each board, if you like.

I just noticed that an 8.375 BBS pressed deck I got has off center concave, meaning, more concave on one side. I'm not sure how that mistake can be made, but I've seen it a few times over the years. I didn't notice it on this deck until I stood on it and I could actually feel the difference under my foot. Then I looked, and sure enough, the concave isn't centered on the deck. Glad it's not one I intended to ride.

I’m case anyone is curious, here is the list of all Chapman’s dimensions. They don’t list lengths and wheelbases on the site, so I hit them up and they sent me this.
