This could be in any ‘shape’ thread I suppose. Chose this one because I like checking out the crail shape tool. Very good.
Question is this: what are the attributes and consequences of different board shapes/geometries? What is the advantage of longer noses and tails? Longer wb would be more stability, correct? A shorter tail would be good for what? I could go on with similar queries. The genesis for this is me skating a g053, and really liking it, even tho it’s not really a size I would ordinarily grab. Shit I’m not even sure if I skate it that well, some stuff is a fucking struggle as the board is longer, and wider than what I usually use. In cycling, and I’m sure other activities like golf etc, there is a bunch of talk on what a certain head tube angle will do for a bicycles steering…Professor can be helpful, but he pivots so quickly, that listening to him I find myself possibly more confused.
None of this is all that important, obviously. Board is a board. I like this crail shape, and Carl’s new shape also has long wb, which I guess is surprising to me (fairly tech riding longer boards).
If anyone has a board that they like that is 8.5x32 I’d love to hear it
