Dane 1 Jr looks similar just less wide at the peak. Maybe 9.25" wide but still the same wb and length? Nose is still crazy pointed and the tail looks super long

was hyped on this shape before i really took a second to think about it. the OG dane is already too short for my long ass legs, so the jr would be a cruiser if it gets any shorter
while cool-guying is a real phenomenon, studies show that 83% of all cool-guying incidents can be attributed to the cool-guyee being an awkward weirdo

Well, I guess I know what my next board will be! His surf shape tapers quite a lot too...

Surf shape would be better if it had the same nose and tail size as this cutaway shape.

I think someone mentioned there is a longer surf shape due out at some point. I'd stock up on those for sure if they have wheel wells.

I know this is a Polar thread, but Black Label's 8.88 Curb Vulture shape is pretty much a meatier surf shape. Nose has an extra quarter inch at least, and is slightly more full. Both boards taper to just about the same amount over the trucks and have the same tail length. Only thing that sets it off is the 14.75wb compared to Surf's 14.5, and lack of wheel wells.

Eager to see the Surf XL specs.
surf is 14.375 wheelbase, which is about the max I can go, 14.75 feels way too longboard for me

Impish sausage is definitely gonna blow up as a euphemism this year

Fixed, dunno why I thought 14.5. But yeah the wb is too long for me to skate like how I skate my surf. Made it my cruiser but I’m tempted to redrill it down.

Surf model is fun but the nose is tiny. I am presuming the XL will have a longer nose and tail but keep a nice tight wheelbase...

Rad! Good fit for 169s or should I size down on trucks?
[close]

I think 169 would be okay, and shouldn’t hot rod.

I ride mine with ace 55s which have a 9 inch axle and I think 169s have a 9.125 inch axle so you should be solid my dude!
[close]
check out the 9”+ thread there’s a set up posted in the last 24 hrs with dane1/169. I’ve ridden that combo too, but I’m super tall and was just getting back into it and the short length and wb was noticeable. Also tried venture 6.1.


I just want to say 169s are perfect on the Dane 1. Fucking love it. It zig zags like crazy. Never skated Aces but I bet they would be bananas. For all of y’all that started skating in 88-91 this board will make you feel 12 again. I have this new thing where I don’t drive to spots I just skate around town and hit shit. I’m 6’1” w size 12 shoe and the Dane 1 is perfect for me. I am not even thinking about my regular deck.

I'm gonna try the P9 to have a bigger setup for the odd occasion.

Would people recommend venture lo or thunder for it?

8.625" at widest point x 32.25"
Nose 7.125"
Wheelbase 14.5"
Tail 6.5"

Not sure but it's nowhere near 8

So my options are venture or thunder

Ace seem to be too high for me?. I like the stability of a lower truck

there's a bunch of the shaped P9 examples in the set up thread, search "polar 8.625"
8.25" and 8.5" wide trucks would both work fine, ace 44 pretty ideal though I bet.

I have Indy 149Ti on my P9 right now, I like it.  The dims above are correct.  8.5" over the front truck, 8.625" in the middle and 8.25"ish over the back truck

Have an 8.38 with a 14.5 listed WB but it’s actually 14.375. Have an 8.25 listed at 14.125 but it’s 14.25. The 8.25 is identical to Pass Port 8.25s. Shalom

How you finding the shape ?

I can't do Indy. I skated them for decade before moving to the blessed Venture.

Feels wrong to go back to indy. Id like another truck

I tried out a friend’s P9 with Venture lights a few days ago. It felt pretty funky to me. I have been using Indy and Ace on 14.5 wheelbase. He ended up ordering Ace 44’s for it because he wasn’t feeling the Ventures on the P9.

Awww shit

Shit. Many of those are calling to me. Surf shape, Dane, 9 inch Popsicle, 8.375, wheel wells. RIP wallet.

Ace 44 or 55 on that surf shape?

Surf is 8.5 front and 8.25 rear. They’re releasing an XL Surf but I don’t think it’s this drop.

Other than that Astro boy board (wall hanger), I don’t really need anything from this drop, my surf shape is still in good condition.

Looks like they’re not available in their US store yet. Really want another surf shape it’s so fun to skate. I have mine on Ace 44s and 56mm conical fulls. Great curb board.

People skating the surf shape, how much flat does the tail have? Pretty curious about that one.

I’d say theres like one finger of flat. And the wheel wells are well positioned for Indys, though on a deep-pinchy crook the bite mark will dig just south the wheel well.
