Now I'm intrigued[close]Yeah I got a 8.5x33 14.5WB Quasi board and it was 32.25 measuring straight across. A pretty big 0.75 difference.[close]Just measured an old Quasi 8.5" in the shorter shape, the one that's listed as 32.125" with a 14.25" WB. Tip to tip, without pressing the tape it is actually 31.75".[close]Woah. 31.75 is the golden length for me. Is there a 8.125 version of that?[close]IIRC their 8.125 is actually even shorter, but I've never skated one.Also worth mentioning that the 8.5 in that shape (at least the old one I have) tapers down to 8.25" over the back truck.[close]The Quasi site says8.125 × 31.75 with a 14.125 wb Got a head ups today from a pal and have one on my way, shoutout Lobby Skateshop (Hamburg). I know ya all can't wait for my review, so I will let ya know. 😅[close]Quasi/GX 8.12 is 31.25 tip to tip. I've even seen one that was slightly shorter at just over 31" (the Dick Rizzo Toy one with the blue dog on it) but I'm assuming that was just one of those weird ones you sometimes get where something is slightly off. If you want 31.75 tip to tip with 14.25wb then get the 8.25. It's one of the better mellow tail'ed shapes that's widely available. Just beware that Quasi has recently been running two 8.25 shapes... the one I mentioned and then another that is a little longer (I think its right around 32" tip to tip, been a minute since I had one), has a 14.4 wb, and has a more tapered/less square shape. I've seen Bledsoe and Josh Wilson graphics on it. I don't think GX1000 does that one so if you want to make sure you get the 14.25wb one you could look for one of those, they're the same shapes and molds.
