Reading feedback about the Quasi twin and that bit feels weird to me:
Expand Quote
very much a twin tail like the Ishod, not twin nose or hybrid
i personally consider the Ishod IS NOT a twin tail, more like a twin nose mainly because of the angle ("non-steepness" makes it feel like a nose) and the length of the "nails" (6.75")
It felt bad when i tried one and i know i would enjoy it if it was steeper with shorter "nails" (like a classic tail, 6.5" ish)
any comment ? enlighten me please
I am guessing you are talking about the 8.5 version as the smaller size boards have shorter kicks than that.
My usual BBS 8.5 has a 6.75 tail and a 7.125 nose, which feels fairly comfortable to me, although my usual other 8.38 decks definitely have shorter tails and feel a bit more inclined to not feel like a boat, so I understand what you are saying.
It is still a bit sad, with the Real Ishod 8.5 twin I bought never leaving the shrink wrap, even with repeated attempts to get it out, stand on it, feel the conave, look at the kicks, etc.
I have a well used 8.3 and 8.25 Real Ishod twin here somewhere too, which were worlds apart from the 8.5 shape.
The angle of kicks is actually good for me, but I do prefer more mellow kicks, so again I can understand how that would be a pain for you.
The wheelbase at 14.5 was also what I usually have on my other boards, so how did that compare for you?
