Size US 8

My sizing in a chronological order has been: 7.75, 8, 8.125, 8.5, 8.38, 8.25 with some egg shaped on the lastest time as experimental sizes 8.75 and 9.125.

Don't think I'll ever move from 8.25 again.

WB 14 in the last year but probably will give 14.25 a shot soon since there's a small local brand I want to support.

Went from 7.75 back in 99/00 to 8, 8.25, 8.5, 8.75, broke my foot/ankle twice so I started sizing back down to 8.5, 8.25, and now I'm pretty happy on 8.375, considering trying another 8.5 Soon with a shorter WB that what I'm currently on.

I'm 6'1" and size 11 shoe for reference - I got back on the board about 2 years ago and went with an 8.5" for a bit, sized up to 8.75", then skated some bigger shaped boards thinking I'd just cruise and skate curbs. My peak from around 1999-2005 I skated 7.88" Girl/Chocolate and AWS boards pretty much exclusively.

Last summer I got the urge to flip my board and progress again and landed on 8.25" and honestly I feel like I could have been so much better if I'd skated them when I was younger. So far Magenta and Limo have been my favorite shapes with a shorter WB (14.125-ish). Might try a crailtap 8.25 with the 14" wb soon.
