This shape looks super fun, nose/tail look long. Are they mellow too? Does anyone have recommendations for boards with a ~8.5 width/normal wheelbase, but long mellow nose and tail. Not as fussed about the concave but prefer flatter all thing being equal...

I think it's a shame that Darkroom was discontinued.
But your grip job is awesome and also simple. Looks good!

Funny seeing powell popsicle decks. When I think powell, it's shaped/old school cuts.
The wood is probably phenomenal and I also can't get myself to ride it.

[TwisT]

That's the best modern powell graphic I've seen in years, and I still don't like it

Where does someone find a low pro board nowadays? Are they still in production?

Loved me some low pros, sadly only old stock floating around these days - been a minute since they've done a run.

metal 8.25

How's that metal? Never any local to step on - shape remind you of anything you have ridden before?

8.5 BA There guest pro
5.8 Bobby Worrest Ventures
54mm "Cory" Duffel Orbs

Jessup (only because it was free with the deck)

I got a little impatient with the grip job so it's not my best work, but I'm very stoked on this set up so far.

Metal uses either the Alien shapes or the Quasi shovel nose BBS shapes. I've seen a few in person/the owner told me that on IG.

I love the metal 8.25 shovel shape. big nose, like quasi & fa/hockey but not as steep. alien/habitat have the same or similar shape I believe. 31.82 x 14.13

It is only the one much longer board that has the longer wheelbase, so stay away from that one and you are good.

All the rest are the usual 14.25 wb or even 14.12 for one of them, from the catalog info, or so I thought.
