Also be aware that the nose on the surf shape will fuck with your nollie pop...

Yeah that Shin surf shape looked so good but totally ruined anything I could do off the nose. Better as a cruiser. Someone mentioned them doing a longer version...

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

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.

Bummer. Looks very similar to the Tired Sigar, which I have been running as a cruiser but feels super nice for some stuff. That one has like 3 fingers of flat, which is a big part of why I like it so much.

Also be aware that the nose on the surf shape will fuck with your nollie pop...

Yeah, same with the Tired above. I kind of like having to skate it directionally because it is fun to throw the shove-its in there to set up.

@FrozenIndustries i actually feel like the surf has more than 1 finger, feels like 2 - 3 to me but your results may vary. Yeah, quick
Shove its keep you in your toes so I don’t mind either. My surf has big chunky 56mm wheels on it but there’s just something I love about it and the loooholes, just cruising around on it puts a massive smile on my face and you can’t really argue with that can you?

Nice, maybe I will give it a shot, none of the locals here have had them in the past so I haven't been able to check one out in person. FWIW the Ace 44/56 V-cut combo (cribbed that from you initially) is something I just keep coming back to no matter what else I try. It has been my key these past few months.

That would rule, thank you!

Psyched to hear about it when you try them. The normal formula already beasts crusty spots so I can only imagine what the 95s will be like.

Winter 20 decks are dropping soon. Saw P2 P9 1991 1992 and surf shapes. Plus popsicles with wheel wells.Might have missed it but I didn't see any footballs or arigato's. Just wish polar had 8.5 decks with a shorter WB. A 8.5 with a 14.25 would be nice. All the 8.375+ are 14.5.

14.125 for the dane1

saying all of the decks 8.38+ are 14.5 was a gross overstatement

not in the US yet, said Tuesday on IG as posted last page. Dane 1 has been around for a while now so you could possibly still find a graphic from summer season

Should have been more specific, besides the 8.625, popsicles do have 14.5 WB as far as I can tell. If there is a popsicle with a shorter WB I'd love to buy it.

Looks like this one is 8.5 x 14.25.
Not sure it’s part of this drop though.

yeah its like 6.5 to the back of the bolt, 6.375 to the middle. 0.125 isn’t too noticeable for me but I do wish the nose had a little extra meat.

Good looks, I'll check some sites and see if other places have the same measurements. I have the 8.5 Herrington from the last drop with a 14.5. might just switch to ace and move on from thunders.

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"
[close]

Venture Los only go to 8.0”, what does the P9 taper down to?
[close]

Dam

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
[close]
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.
[close]

Thanks dog

Just tryna see what pops best with that wheel base and shape
[close]

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

Nice

I went to the local to try get ace 44 today but all gone

Might try thunder 149 cast on it. See if it compliments

Im obsessed with bushings wheel shapes and nose and tail shape. Never actually measured a WB. Usually take what's listed at face value. I'm probably the crazy one.

Looks
Like most polar w/b measurements are off, there’s no way the surf model is 14.375
