I've got like 6(?) prospective boards I want to buy so I'm going to list them here so I don't forget, any input on them would be preeshed!
that doom sayers I posted above in 8.4 with fat nose - deluxe wood, short wheelbase, big nose. If this was a magnenta or a passport I probably would have already pulled the trigger on it
Passport 8.5 (8.75?) tiles board, shaped - stepped on one last week in a shop in Tokyo and feel like I would absolutely love it. Kinda want to get off the square tail bandwagon for a while though and get back on something I can get more "tech" with
Antihero 8.28 shaped Raney board - another one I saw over the weekend, I honestly think the shape is pretty much prefect for me and it's deluxe wood with a classic graphic. Probably a season or two old but I doubt that would affect deluxe's quality too much would it?
Weekend 8.25 on green w/ gold logo - simple graphic and that fucking nose! peeps were saying hockey skated like old adrenalins which kinda piqued my interest in PS Stix again. Am on a welcome at the moment and wanted to try up some different wood if possible, this board may keep me on the ps bandwagon though.
Northern Co. 8.25 mountain graphic - one of these popped up on my feed this morning with split bottom plies and it is a work of art. Again though, I'm having trouble finding wheelbase dimensions for this one and want to keep it 14.25 or below. Also, are their concaves super steep? Site I'm looking at is saying fairly steep... heard great things about SC wood and I'm keen to try one of the last made in USA woodshops
polar 8.25 dear skating striped mint board - Salman homage graphic, great dimensions and it's polar. looked at a few of their shaped boards too but the wheelbase is always 14.5 plus and I kinda want to size down in that department.
