Btw just looked at some santa cruz decks and the graphics are almost on powell level terrible. I was down to get a Jake pro model but I guess not.
Watched a few setup videos and in case anybody is wondering, he's riding:
8.5" VX deck, 32.2" length, 14.375" wb, 7" nose, 6.625" tail.
Indy 149 Hollows
OJ elite 55mm 101a
Agreed that their graphics are bad (as are Powell). I wanted one of their 8.375x32 decks because the shape worked for me in the past and ended up going with a Creature Gravette because it was the least bad.
The 8.5" shape has more tapered nose/tail than I jive with.
