I'm currently skating the 9.75 symmetrical heroin egg and really liking it. Are there any other symmetrical shaped decks I should look at?

Nothing that wide but I've had Ishod's twin tail 3 times now and I really like it. I have 10 completes but the Ishod is my goto for everything. I've got CRob's twin paddle on deck for my next. Ishod's/Worrest and Crob's all come in a 8.5. I think you can still get that Toe Knee Hawk board for cheap on eBay it's a 9 I believe. The Grimple fuller deck is not symmetrical even though it looks like it

The width is key, so I guess I'll stick with the egg until another non-popsicle symmetrical deck shows up.

Our regular shaped boards are from Chapman and our symmetrical boards are from a factory that's not from the US. We prefer not to say just for competitive research reasons, but we assure you that brands we've all heard of work with the shop we're currently working with.

We initially wanted to work with a factory within the states-  Generator, Chapman (for custom shapes), Watson Laminates, etc....but there is just a mad wood shortage right now that they couldn't make it work. At the moment, new accounts can only work with stock shapes for the sake of streamlining their business. We're not discounting a partnership with a US factory in the future, but so far we really dig the factory's quality and service.

We assure you that the twin-tail boards are made of quality wood and our custom shape was diagrammed with an architect to give a different perspective with Autocad / diagramming

We also reached out to some skaters to give their feedback too + just to see it in action




I hope this helps! We're doing Holiday sales - THANKYOU10 for $10 off your order if you want to give our boards a test. No pressure obviously but i figure i mention this.

Let me know if you guys got any other questions. Thank you all!

Thanks to this thread and to Xen in particular to have more reliable measures than board companies themselves, I just picked up the Foy Twin but would not have if I trusted the sticker on it that says 14.5 WB.

The graphics is not my cup of tea and I don't like that the bottom ply is not colored, but that's all not very important, what matters to me is that the shape is magnifico and I love that blue top ply!



Xen's measures match mine (8.5, a hair under 32, a hair under 14.33 wb, 6.75 kicks), Deathwish says the concave is mellow but it's my first board from the Baker boys, I wouldn't say it's that mellow but mellower than the DLX twins. If the I is steepest at DLX and IV mellowest, I'd say this is VII or something!

[close]

It's a great shape (same as the 8.25" neen but bigger, seems to differ from the 8.5" neen dimension-wise); it's not baker mellow either, but you are right it is mellower than the DLX I-II range, mine is def not a VII tho by that scale.

The graphics are meh, the babypoop/mustard yellow is meh (I got a green top ply) but it's trashed already and I never really cared....but still...DW graphics have never been at the forefront of the brand.

Waiting for some BF sales to pick up a spare or two.

Second Foy Twin arrived today, dims are on point to the other one I have, so at least there consistency in lieu of sticker inaccuracy...I guess by non-slap standards it's 'close enough'.

If you want another symmetrical egg (and in the US) I saw a post from the Egg shaped boards thread you might like:

Don't know if this is correct, but it shows there are ten of those in stock.

Yeah I succumbed to this yesterday. I've already bought too much skate shit recently, but I couldn't pass this up.

Did anyone ever get around to picking up the AWS Owlien Twin (or the habitat twin for that matter)?

Really curious if the length listed (32.25") is accurate.

[Ray C. Usery]

I'll be skating this one soon I'll let you know what I think

[Chatbot]

I’ve been skating mine for a few months now and have no complaints. Being able to do all my tricks with either side of the board with issue is so convenient. Enjoy.

I still haven't seen one in person, but I thought someone else on here said it was more like 32" long.

In typical PSTX/AWS/QUASI fashion, I am assuming it is .25 shorter than listed, putting it  right at the 32" mark. I might bite between the Foys I have. If Suciu approves, it should be more than good enough at any length.

What do you think of the concave? Does it continue to the nose/tail, or are those flat?

Are there any Twin Tails out with medium-steep concave and high kicks? Everything I've seen out at the moment is mellow (Deathwish, Real, Glider)

+1. The Ishod 8.3 is the best deck I ever rode, but it mellows out even more after some time and I loved the steepness of FA/Hockey decks...

Yeah, I think I'm gonna go with FA/Hockey and wait until someone comes out with a steeper concave Twin Tail.

It might be easier said than done, but the DLX wood has I to IV with I being the steepest, so you could try tracking down one of those.  Most twins I have seen are more so on III or IV but they are out there on I and II as well, as some others have said.

Have been on the hunt for a I or II, but the shops I can visit run out of the TTs pretty quick as soon as they drop so...

I know what you mean and understand it is a struggle.

The distro in this country can specifically dig out and send certain number tops as needed, as much as it is a bit of a pain, it can be done.

One other thing that might secure a board is making a deposit on one, or even having a standing order so they put aside one or two every time they come in, which can also be done and works if the shop people have a clue, but pre payment is always a good way to make sure it is done - the shop being much more likely to order more of them for you as well.

Just a thought anyway.

My local will take orders, any of them should especially if you plop down some coin; if they won't, find a shop that will.

Yep, they stamp the number in roman numerals on the top between the front truck holes. I is the steepest, IV the mellowest... It's not a huge difference but noticable.

Anyone make a good 7.75 twin tail deck??

We're planning to make some in maybe March...Some ways away, i know. But we can send over a discount code when its ready if you ever want to test it out (obviously no pressure)

I've been skating the Chocolate Roberts Twin Tail for a while now and it's been an awesome deck for me despite the adjustment at the beginning. The previous deck I had before was a Neen Deathwish Twin with the 14.25 wheelbase while the chocolate is at 14. I thought I'd wanna go back to the slightly longer wheelbase so I copped another Neen with the same dimensions as a backup like a month ago, but this chocolate has lastly me so long and served me so well that I copped another one in the opposite colors. Mind you my current chocolate still going strong so now I got 2 backup twin tails sitting in the wing. I'm gonna skate the chocolate next to keep it consistent then step it back up to the Neen.


I'd try those Glider joints for the hell of it but those graphics are hella bland. A two-color graphic with the logo (no text) in the middle would be better than everything else I've seen. Not trying be on some hater shit because I like the concept of an all twin-tail deck company, but the art department gotta step it up and make it look more than a generic Amazon brand
