I've been playing around with different sizing for the better part of the last year since I got back on the board after 10 or so years off (closer to 20 since I was super serious). The 8.38" with a 14.5 wheelbase feels like a winner (I'm 6'2", size 11 shoe), and I think the tricks will start coming back pretty quick. Now if I could just find shoes that feel right!
Krooked Cromer, Ace AF1 55, Spitfire F4 53mm full conical, Bones Reds, Shortys 1" hardware
The Ace's fit the board exactly how I like it - my winning combo in the early 00's was a 7.88" girl/chocolate on 8" destructos (don't hate it was a different time!) and this feels similar at scale.
