Anyone know where I can get any sovrn boards in UK or Europe? Been trying to track one down but I haven't had any luck

Never heard of them, but I'm liking what this brand is doing, even if it is a touch pretentious.
You know I thought these forums were a for skating not discussing fetishes

PS Stix and they're great.  All the shapes are actually custom for the company so they're different than other brands using PS.  I've had 3 of them and they were all great.  Recently I've been skating a few other brands but I'll likely go back to Sovrn soon

Can you elaborate on how they are different from other PS shapes? Habitat and Mother/Quasi specifically?

Do they have the slight (0.125"ish) taper from nose to tail?

I'm very attached to those shapes, but am a little miffed that Habitat is a little inconsistent with their dimensions. The dimensions SOVRN lists sound like exactly what I want.

The Sovrn shapes are all unique to their brand.  I don't know specifically how they differ from other brands using PS but I know they don't share them with the other companies.  The 8.38's that I skated were long and mellow.  The 8.5 shape is a little steeper

This has me cracking up, what exactly does Black Flag have to do with measuring your dick starting behind ya nuts?

Skateboarding is nothing but a game to find the right fits to appear like you're a proportional human being instead of a midget or a giant.

Out of the context of the skate world, the graphics aren't bad. Compared to like Quasi (just as an example) they look like an ad agency designed them, not a skate artist. The photos of the tops of the decks make the tail and nose on all the models look so pointy too.
