I'm really loving my real full se 8.25 (witch is 8.375)...so are the measurements right on the santa Cruz (in love with Fabiana Delfino)? Cause I'm really Interested in the 8.375 wide tip
Yup, they measure true (something NHS has always done right compared to most).
The DLX FULL at 8.25x32.25x14.5wb was weird, wheelbase and length too long - the SE, fantastic shape but doesn't have the WB I like, but I really enjoyed riding it (Thanks, again Reed!)...also, I prefer the way NHS wood feels in comparison to DLX.
I've ridden the 8.18/8.25/8.38 DLX SE, each one felt like riding the next size up when it came to the nose and tail width (awesome) but I feel they should have followed their standard deck lengths and WBs and just made them full; I'd kill for the 8.18/8.25" full with the regular dims...I'm sure the dudes making them have their reasons (team rider suggestions).
Anyway, the NHS 8.25/8.375/8.5 widetips are really close in dims, and, the right sort of increase you'd expect with just a marginal increase in width. .5"s here and there (if that), compared to DLX that make 8.375s with dims that would go on a 9" (sorry DLX guys, but some of those dims are crazy town...almost 15" WB on an 8.38 x32
.45...most 8.5s don't even go there; feels like they're quietly making vert boards.
