I have a hard time believing that all the Mike Carroll pro models from Girl have the exact same shape.  They don't strike me as a company that puts quality first.
suprisingly they try to use the same shape for all the team series boards. some of the one off graphics can get mixed up a little. but yeah, every mariano 7.75 and carroll 7.625 series board have been the exact same shape.

7.5-7.8, nothing past or below that, which means i hate my board right now. it said 7.5, but it feels like a 7, and i think it is.

if its not at least a 7.75 i can't ride it. If its to small its just fucking gay. i prefer an 8 and i have had  at least 3 8.25's and they skated good the only good big boards tho are girls and dlx's. from experience almost big boards are horrible.

I have size 12 and use a 7.75, so that should be fine for you.

7.75 to 8. Prefer 8. Funny how it seemed huge before but after riding 8's for awhile they feel hella skinny

8-8.25, my feet are big so it doesn't seem too too big.

you know, i have been skating eights for the past few years bought a 7.8 because i started to like smaller boards and loved it so i asked for a cadiel that i checked out before and it was the same size and shape as the last so i went into a different shop and decided to get it, here i am two and a half weeks later and measured it last night and it is 7.6 on mine and i love it, i am def. skating them from now on

The Heroin Magic 8" is the best shape for an 8" board ever.

Stevie Williams skates an 8.5"
p.s. i do that in the bath sometimes. its fun to do it when you have a woody allen. when you open your legs up, your stick goes straight up, as if it wants to go to heaven.  - quote from guess who.
