Once upon a time wheelbases did all go down to about 14 and some even less, when ramp boards were drilled back to give a longer nose (from around 1990 onwards).
Nowdays I feel like we are spoilt for choice with pretty much everything, of all shapes, sizes, etc, but I realise I am happier on a 14.5 wb on my boards, usually 8.38 to 8.5 and up, but that is just me.
I do see a lot of shorter adults and kids riding boards that could be considered a little too big for them, especially more in the street / tech aspects of things, so it will be interesting to see how well these go and how they are marketed, what graphics are used, if there will be specific graphics for these like there were for the Real and AH shorter boards so far, or if they put out some with the same graphics as other boards.
