Has anyone tried these? What did you like, or dislike?

One of my fav shape I’ve ever ridden. Had a small run made for a little brand I was trying to start. I wish I could get my hands on an 8.1 O shape
-
Was just looking at these, for a personal stock up stash.
Is the wood closer to BBS or PSStix?

Their website isn’t up to date. It’s on their IG. I’m ignorant and don’t know how to link. It’s a square-ish, FA/WKND type shape

I honestly haven’t skated one in years.

Wood is between PS and BBS. I had a Clutch this summer. Felt amazing for the first couple off weeks but then mushed out pretty quick. I'd buy again but under no illusion it would last long.

Easily my favorite clutch shape, and one of my favorites from anywhere. They're kind of like a happy medium between the mellow quasi 8.25 and the steep FA/hockey shape. They can be difficult to track down but the ones I've had were hotel blue and coda. They're kind of short (my 8.25 is just over 31.5 and the 8.38 was about the same) but have a 14.25wb which is a plus for me but could be a problem if you don't like compact decks. If you find some other than coda/hotel blue then post them here, I'm always on the lookout for them

Does anyone know if clutch does small sample runs to individuals? Their symmetrical shape is absolutely perfect for me and I love skating blanks. Already messaged them on instagram also, hoping to hear back soon

Smallest run they do is 25 blank decks, but they’re 3-6 months out on production right now.

Good to know thanks. I’m hoping to place my order this week, just waiting to hear back from the rep. I’ll hit you up in 3-6 months once they finally ship, haha.

I think Chapman has a small minimum (25?) and they use clutch blanks so you could try hitting them up. Clutch customer service has been excellent in my experience, they actually answered me on IG and actively looked for recent orders of O shapes for me. Most woodshops just ignore me when I ask shit like that, so that's always a plus in my book.

Yeah definitely let me know. Are you just getting blanks or are you doing graphics?

Two graphics, top and bottom, split between different sizes. Something like-one graphic 8.25 and 8.5 and the other 8.38 and 8.63. Pretty sure I’m only going to run the O shape, looks and sounds what I and my “business partner” want to ride.
-
since you are doing the order, do you know the wheelbase of the 8.63?

My board "sponsor" gets boards from Clutch. I normally ride the K shape 8.25 which I surprisingly prefer over 8.25 BBS now. Anyway, always protested "riding" for them for years just because whenever I would hang with my friend who owns the company, he had the O shape, 8" width, and tighter trucks. I only have been given this board twice in a pinch when I needed one. My flip tricks aren't as great and fakie ones are absolutely the most challenged now. However, I can back tail longer (but harder to "aim" onto the ledge properly) and crooked grinds feel the most proper and locked in.
Anyone have a shared experience? I emailed Clutch about the WB/nose/tail dimensions last night and hopefully will hear back soon. It'd be nice to understand my preferences

Codex Skateshop uses the O shape frequently.
