I had a 8.38 Baker B2 and loved it, as well as an AWS 8.25...both were more square in the tail and nose. Since I’m stuck with shopping online, besides the two mentioned above, what others are there to look at with this shape?
Thanks in advance!
-
FA and Hockey.
-
Quasi and wknd
-
Also 917, REAL has them too, I believe they call it "Full SE"
Some shop decks are also jumping in on the trend, at least here in eastern Canada they are.

Yeah I'm on a REAL full se right now and it's just like a FA or quasi in terms or square shaped. I like it alot.

They do make amazing decks, I'm on a Hockey 8.5 right now but definitely will skate another full SE in the future.

If you you can try to get the 8.5 full se Max schaff K9 graphic. That's the one I'm on and if you like Hockey shapes you'll love this one too. I have yet to try a Hockey or FA for myself. Have only seen people who have had them.

Polar popsicles seem to fit the bill too. They also have the Arigato if you're interested in trying something really, really square, but it's only available in 8.38 (please pontus give me a bigger arigato)

The Baker B2 and DLX Full SE are not in the same ballpark as WKND/FA/AWS when it comes to square nose/tails.
The B2 is more like a full/DLX SE as it isn't pointy.
-
FA are basically a rectangle

If they made a 32" or under with a 14.25" WB I'd be all in, it's a great shape, I use it as my crusier now (ACEs+Bones Rough riders+Cell block rails
-
the hockey ones are fucking sick because most of the 8.5's are under 32 long. that shit fucks.
-
i skate nothing but Real 8.06 Full SE. Just to clarify the SE is short edition so 14in WB. They make Fulls without the SE as well so normal WB but with the fuller nose and tail. I also agree with the above that although its a nice fat nose and tail, its not really in the same ballpark in terms of squareness like the FA/Hockeys I've seen.

The Baker B2 and DLX Full SE are not in the same ballpark as WKND/FA/AWS when it comes to square nose/tails.
The B2 is more like a full/DLX SE as it isn't pointy.
The Max Schaaf board I have is. But you also have to take into account that he's a vert/transition skater so that's probably why it's more squared than a normal full se.
-
Sorry if this is too tangential, but it's related: can't find my usual antihero/dlx shapes (8.25/8.4x32) so I ordered a 8.25 FA because I wanted to try a shorter wheelbase. I mostly notice the difference in width between 8.25 and 8.38/8.4 boards where the nose and tail taper, so I figured a square 8.25 would feel at least a bit more like the slightly tapered 8.4 on flip tricks. I was worried the FA 8.38 would just feel too fat past the bolts by comparison. Good call, bad call, or jam it, nerd?
-
Polar popsicles seem to fit the bill too. They also have the Arigato if you're interested in trying something really, really square, but it's only available in 8.38 (please pontus give me a bigger arigato)

I too, also, as well, would fuck with an Arigato in the 8.75" range.
Pontus, you could make it up to me for discontinuing my favorite, the P8 shape (at least it seems to have been discontinued; not a one to be found in the states.) Maybe call it the Ari-gordo?
-
Is the Polar P2 discontinued now? Hope that is not true

Is the Polar P2 discontinued now? Hope that is not true
where did you hear that? as far as i know the P2 is one of the more popular polar shapes... cant see why they would stop making them
-
Soit looks like I was reading something about a different P2. Whew. I was skating mine the other day and decided I will get another one...it’s the perfect curb board for me.
-
I have the Ariagato 8.38 but I hung it up..Tapered to much by the tail agree with 8.75
Welcome Ryan Lay is like an ariagato but 8.6. Much nicer.
Numbers Edition Koston is similar to FA
My buddy at legend skates just put out this one, if you are ok w the graphics. Comes w free tshirt too

Magenta used to make really good square boards in all kinds of width from 8 to 8.6 but they haven't made any recently and aren't planning on making them anymore from what I heard. Loved those.

Always wanted one of those magenta boards!
Arigato and Ryan Lay do look similar but the welcome has ridics wheelbase, I respect Ryan even more now knowing he can do that type of skating on those dimensions
-

Yeah exactly his shape is nice but a WB > 14.5 feels terrible imo
-

Yeah, they're really good. Easy to adapt to and they look pretty rad. Love that big tail, makes tailslides and bluntslides easier, you can totally sit on them.
I had 5 or 6 of those then got another 2 and heard they weren't gonna make any more of these. Been skating the one I currently have set up for a year (I have 4 setups in rotation), gotta make it last! Gonna set up the last one soon. Equally hyped and sad, haha.
-
Always a great feeling to hear that my dream shape existed and was discontinued before I knew it existed. Swear I'm boutta just do a drifter run and try to flip the extra decks at skateparks.

I was at the shop yesterday and they had one of the best selections I'd seen in a while, so I got to do a bit of shopping around based on what I'm into lately instead of just taking what they've got, like it's been the case for the last 6 months or so.
My square-ish deck related findings:
AWS/ Habitat - looks like FA/ Hockey, but elongated.
Doomsayers - pretty much a mellower FA/ Hockey, maybe a hair longer, but still on the short side. Excited to try one.
DLX Full SE - 8.5 is WAY more square than I expected, but 8.38 is definitely pointier. Go with the 8.5 if you want the super full nose and tail.
Passport - also pretty squared off, not as much as FA/ Hockey, closer to Quasi. Ended up getting an 8.6 PP. Feels really really good and roomy.

Pretty sure it’s right at 14.5. Unfortunately, they do a big up charge for changing dimensions.

can confirm the 8.5 Full SE is WAY square. love it.
Yes the REAL 8.5 full se I'm skating is amazing. Almost like a quasi with more concave. I'm going to buy this shape from now on.
-
Are the kicks steep or mellow on the Full SE shape?
-

I'd say they're pretty medium/ the concave you expect with DLX boards. They're stamped, so you can use that as an indicator and find which one on the press feels best to you. Definitely not as steep as FA/ Hockey, which is my biggest gripe about those boards.

Thanks for answering Clay.

The roger tugboat shape has a square-ish nose and tail and I think all of Max Taylor boards are on that shape and you should support max Taylor because that dude is fucking wild and doesn’t get the respect he should

Passport have a couple of shaped decks, which have more stubby ends, but their normal boards are definitely round popsicles and not at all squared off.
I think people have mentioned all the brands that are more squared off already, if you are talking normal boards, but there are a lot of shaped decks that have squared kicks, which I can put in a list if you would like.
Wider normal kicks are more in the "Full" category, so were you after full shaped popsicles or squared shaped decks?

full shaped popsicles! i generally stick with quasi as i like the fullness and sharper angle of their tail but i want to hopefully find one that has a little bit longer tail.

I recently set up this 8.5 habitat with a tail that's a bit longer than average and a bit squared. Similar dimensions to Quasi 8.5s. The 14.25wb Quasis anyway.

Both Alien Workshop and Habitat have that shape going, especially in the wider boards, all with slightly longer kicks and a shorter wheelbase, which might work well if you like that sort of board.
They are BBS.
The shorter tails were the main reason PS Stix lost a number of customers I know too, but it is often down to the shapes more so than the woodshop - some have longer tails and some have shorter tails so it is just finding the one that you like with the longer tail for a good board.

yeah i'm finding it hard to look for new options because pics don't really show board shapes very well on a site and so many sites barely give you any dims if they give you dims at all. i like the shorter wheelbase, definitely 14.25 and under so i'll check those out

Both Alien Workshop and Habitat have that shape going, especially in the wider boards, all with slightly longer kicks and a shorter wheelbase, which might work well if you like that sort of board.
They are BBS.
The shorter tails were the main reason PS Stix lost a number of customers I know too, but it is often down to the shapes more so than the woodshop - some have longer tails and some have shorter tails so it is just finding the one that you like with the longer tail for a good board.
yeah i'm finding it hard to look for new options because pics don't really show board shapes very well on a site and so many sites barely give you any dims if they give you dims at all. i like the shorter wheelbase, definitely 14.25 and under so i'll check those out
Their own sites have pretty good info on their products, better than most other generic self sites with almost no info.

Skatewarehouse has their script series back in stock..the 8.37x31.5 (14.25" WB ) is tits @$34.99 - last run was clutch. The deck is more square than the photo suggests. Def in-line with AWS/Habitat/WKND

Yeah I've been waiting 2 years for another drop from them.

Are there any 8.375-8.5 squared off shapes (like Hockey/FA, AWS) with a longer wheelbase? I had a Baker with 14.5 wb and I could stick on walls at the local concrete park for so long it was amazing, but I like the full shape with squared off nose and tail for transition.
I'm specifically looking for full shape, 14.38-14.5 wheelbase. I've seen maybe one Quasi with 14.5, though I really disliked the PS Stix boards I had in the past.

Rare breed that. AWS/Quasi is going to be your best bet.
You could try the baker b2 shapes, they are just full, not really square despite the marketing effort...
Flip! I forget they exist, dig around this thread and you'll find it, it's the Team Odyssey Fade full nose, if you can find it online, I believe the longer length ones at 32.75" are 14.5" WB.

Awesome!! Thanks so much for the help. I just checked the recent quasi drop and it has a gilbert in 14.5 so that was a lucky find too.

Krooked Manderson is pretty square. It's like BBS made a Hockey, decently steep too.

As a fan of the SC Wide tip (RIP) looks like SC is coming in hot with a more band-aid type shape. But more full than square but might work for someone.

As far as current SC shapes go that's pretty damn square.

I always looked at those wider Creature and Santa Cruz decks when they came in and thought they were very stumpy, but this one in only 8.25 definitely has that shape of stumpy kick going on nicely.

Here is the old wide-tip; I skated 4 of them in a row, with Indy/ACE/Theeve there were some of the most comfy boards I've ridden in a long time; 8.25x32x14.353WB
Just look at all that tail...wide, just a bit stubby..for an NHS board there was quite a the fingers of flat going on (two).
(https://res.cloudinary.com/dm1ikhi6x/image/upload/w_914,c_limit/q_auto:low,f_auto/products/gfaulxzhhh9sdvnalnne)
They discontinued them because they didn't sell...guess no pros over there were riding them either (Creature's cold press were this shape)

Yes, when they went on sale is about when someone I knew wanted that board, only more so in 8.375 or 8.5 so he bought all of them he could find.
I had a few of them (and access to more) so bought all of them for him and he is still going on them as far as I know, but he doesn't go through boards quickly so could be a while longer on all the old stock.
I had a skate on his board and they are such a good stable setup, but I am not keen on the concave and feel of the kicks, otherwise I can definitely understand how you would be super keen on them.

Yes! Would be great if they brought this one back around.

Interestingly enough, I prefered the Creature 'cold press' vs the typical NHS press (skated both creature and SC variants), they felt like old 80s wood somehow. They were pretty flat, and the whole style of kicks, flat, shape, concave, etc. made it pretty odd at first, I agree, but once I got used it, it was like an old shoe. The shape really worked for me...I was going to stockpile but felt it better to just let it go. Nothing has come close since.

I ALWAYS wanted one of these boards. So different from anything I could get my hands on at the time. Square city

this one was on the wall at the shop for a minute and stood out as extraordinarily square from the other pretty dang square snack boards we had.

They have multiple square shapes believe it or not. One is identical to the quasi/GX one for all intents and purposes, and then they have one that's like almost comically square. I've got both. I can pull one out and snap some pics before my morning skate if you want.

Look past the crappy grip job if you can. I just got this Quasi eurofade…pretty square. I would never had got this deck if I didn’t see it in person at a shop. They say its 33” but its a little over 32. So far I really like it…more so than the full Real 8.5 I was just riding.

Not a slick. Just embossed wood. Fun decks tho. I keep going back to them.

FWIW, the Metal Fred Gall deck (8.5") feels A LOT like a Hockey deck. I know Fred was skating FA/Hockey stuff for a minute and did that guest board with them. It's a fantastic deck. Feel amazing and you can really sit on nose slides. I run Indy 159s with 56mm/95a Slimeballs. Perfect crust setup.
I'll try to add a photo of the one I have on ice so you can get a good view of the nose.
Per a Metal Instagram post: "[T]he shape was designed by Fred based off his favorite shovel nose board."

I've skated a few embossed decks, they do slide a tiny bit better than regular, until the embossing wears down, then it's business as usual.

What’s the difference in shape between an 8.25 FA and a 8.25 quasi proto ?
-
What’s the difference in shape between an 8.25 FA and a 8.25 quasi proto ?
I don't seem to have easy access right this minute, but the FA 8.25 board I have seems to be straight through the rail, whereas the Quasi boards I have seen before always seem to have significant taper from front to back, which is fairly common in some brands / woodshops / shapes.
FA being BBS steepish and squared kicks, Quasi being PS Stix so big steep nose and smaller not so steep tail.
https://www.tactics.com/quasi-skateboards/proto-fade-825-skateboard-deck/yellow-pink
SPECS
SIZE 8.25
LENGTH (IN): 32.125 * 31.8 when measured straight across
WHEELBASE (IN): 14.25
NOSE (IN): 6.875
TAIL (IN): 6.5
Random FA board from their site:
https://faworldentertainment.com/en-au/collections/boards/products/jake-anderson-class-photo
.25" x 31.79"
14.12" Wheel Base
FA boards have a shorter wheelbase, so longer kicks for almost the same overall length, with steeper kicks.
There are pics on both those links too, so it is easy enough to check those, but here are the side by side comparison pics anyway.

Wow, that looks nasty. How does the tail compare to FA/Hockey in terms of length/steepness? Found some of the older models listed with 6.5 tails but no info on these super square ones.

I haven’t had the super square one. But when I compare my snack deck to a shovel hockey deck they don’t look too different. Without standing on one the hockey deck it seems to have steeper kicks and mellower concave, but I really don’t want to make a claim cause I never rode a hockey deck.
