Looks like they retired the G039?  I no longer see it in the shape guide.

Size is exactly same. So your saying no taper to the tail?
G052 and g027 go from 8.25 nose to like 8 tail.

That's what I didn't like about the G052. The tiny tail felt weird to me. Especially after doing some kind of shuv it trick.

The tail is long though.  You mean taper to 8" from 8.25?
Anyway i feel both g052 and 27 skate closer to 8 or 8.1 being tapred like that.

Yeah mate, the tail was something like 6.8 which felt a bit too long for certain tricks. Was nice for tailslides tho. But I didn't like the taper.

Has anybody noticed much difference in the way the G0018 and G045 skate?

What’s the difference between the loveseat and plus? Plus vs couch? I know the wheelbases and lengths are different, but how does it ride ?

I mostly want to cruise around, hit some curbs and some low key slides. I wanted a nice egg shape with somewhat mellow concave and short wheelbase.

I doubt you could tell the difference in most cases; the couch is a tad wider in the middle and the plus has a slightly longer wheelbase.
From my experience, they all have the same concave. For me the loveseat has been my go to for a minute, but I guess the extra 0.25 inch (which is nothing in the scheme of things) will make it more egg-ish?

Impish sausage is definitely gonna blow up as a euphemism this year

I found the Loveseat and the Couch to ride quite different. I much preferred the Couch. The promotions and shape just worked better for me. I had several during Covid to mess around on flat and learned, re-learned a bunch of flip tricks. But ultimately a 13 7/8" WB was too tiny for me for anything but flat.

I'd honestly love to see a Couch with a 14.25" WB (A Couch Plus).

Crail needs more decks with a 14.25" wheelbase, especially in 8.25.
