Is there any other woodshop with the quality like BBS? Really happy with the feel of my antihero, just asking to broaden my options as we dont have as big range of brands/models here in Sweden.
Been thinking about a Polar but dont want a high concave also the 14.125 WB might be too short at my height when setup with indys.
Since you're in Europe I'm not sure what your options are like but there's definitely other woodshops with similar quality although that's kind of a subjective topic. If you like BBS I'd say try Jart wood, I've only had one deck from them but I thought it had a similar stiff feel to bbs although its a little heavier and damn near indestructible. The one I have is a Sour 8.5 and it's medium concave, probably a little shallower than most AH decks actually. You could also look into Pennswood, I know some UK and French companies use them, it's pretty stiff and quite poppy but the dimensions can be a little weird - lots of 14" wb.
I would guess you can probably find PS stix decks there too, but it's more of a light and springy feeling wood so you might not be a fan of it. The big companies that you might be able to find there that use it would be like Quasi, Flip, Plan B, Welcome, and WKND. PS decks are easy to identify because they have a laser engraved signature and serial # on the top between the front truck holes so look for that.
As for Polar, the one I have is more of a medium concave and if you're riding an antihero I don't think it would be too much of an adjustment. Most of the AH decks I've skated have been pretty similar to it in terms of concave and tail steepness. I think they have an 8.3 with a 14.5wb as well, so a little wider but everything else would be the same. Personally I find 8.25-8.38 to be a pretty easy adjustment, but everyone is different. So basically I would say maybe try a Sour deck if you haven't already, or if you want to try a different style of wood look for a PS stix.
