Got a 8.25 GX1000 (PS Stix) with square nose and tail, similar to Hockey boards. Both are shorter than I’d like, however the nose is steep and has alright pop for a soggy feeling board.
The short square tail, however, I can’t get used to. I kinda hate it to be honest. Besides front shoves, none of my tricks feel that good or are as good as I can usually do ‘em. I particularly don’t like the short tail for mannies.
I’ve been skating 8.25’s for close to 15 years, and like shapes similar to Real and Polar. Thought I’d try something new, and it simply wasn’t for me.
Maybe you’ll like it, who knows.
