That Isle Kyron board is actually 8.375, my bad! I alternate between 8.38/8.375 & 8.5.
not trying to be a dick here….what’s the difference?
Absolutely nothing to be honest! I mean, some people who are super picky with board dimensions would probably be able to tell a difference, but these are just sizes that fit my trucks. I literally skate a different shape/board every time and just get used to it after 1 session. I won't let the madness get me!
I will usually ride boards in those options, all on 149s too.
The 8.38 or 8.375 are usually about the same, if not just the number being ever so slightly different, but the 8.5 is more often a bit bigger overall in dimensions, sometimes longer, both wheelbase and length, but not always. It really depends on the brand for the shapes, as some do have shorter boards, some bigger more full shapes, others longer, etc.
Most commonly, going by usual shapes from some suppliers:
8.38 x 32 to 32.2 with 14.25 to 14.38 wb, sometimes 14.5 wb like DLX boards.
8.5 x 32.4 to 32.6 with 14.5 wb, sometimes 31.8 length with 14.25 wb though.
Isle being BBS / Generator still, or was that something else now, like Clutch wood?
