Really want big surf shape. I love the look of it, but it was way too short for me.
[close]

Big Surf shape is only 1/4" wider and same length/wb. Although on another shop page it was listed as 9.5"

Honestly hoping for the latter as I love my current surf shape but would be happier if it were a little wider, and my dane1 is just a little too wide for anything but my dedicated cruiser. Happy medium.

Interesting. Only a 1/4” width difference seems like a waste of a new/differentiating shape imo. Would love to see a bigger/fuller nose on the surf.

Anyone ever used thunder hollow 148 on an 8.25 polar with 14.125 WB? Just set this up for hell of it as a second setup but haven’t skated it yet. It’s the Brady bistro 8.25 deck with below specs for reference.

WIDTH (IN):   8.25
LENGTH (IN):   31.875
WHEELBASE (IN):   14.125
NOSE (IN):   7.125
TAIL (IN):   6.75

I hope that larger green surf shape makes it stateside soon. Want. It would have been nice if the Dane shape had wheel wells this time around. That 9.0 pop with wheel wells is sick too.

I did a dig looking for the wb on the 1991 jr. Searching through tagged photos, I saw 2 new Dane1s, one of which is a team board and is also up at Tactics and another is a Dane Brady model that has the same graphics as a pop from this season. No wheel wells unfortunately. We still haven't seen what the 1991 or 1992 is gonna be so maybe there will be another Dane1 that hasn't show up yet that has them?

On the 1991 jr, I'm almost positive it's gonna be a 14.38wb. There's an 8" this season with the same graphic which has a 14.25wb and the post here shows the jr as slightly longer.

↑THIS! 1/4 of an inch in width and no increase in nose length is pretty meh imho. I LOVE my surf shape but nollies and nose slides pretty much don’t happen, it’s fun as a second setup but I couldn’t make it my dedicated main board for those reasons. If they bumped it to 9.25 and lengthened the nose I would heavily consider it...
Still want to see his sidecut shape make a comeback!

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

Depends who you are and what you skate of course, I've had my Hjalte 8.0 with the wheel wells for about 6 months and its still sweet as and I dont see it flopping any time soon. That being said I cant wait to try and scoop one of these for my next setup, that shape looks great!

Not so much shape related as more just an interesting thing I noticed, which I am seeing more and more, but from FTC and other places, they specifically have "For sale in store only" or something similar and will not list online or ship them out.

Anyone else noticed this?

Wow that might be a bit too much for me, I’m really looking for a classic popsicle with a slightly elongated nose. As for usage I skate at least an hour minimum everyday and I was told that polar wood held up really well

What size do you usually ride?

They have everything from 7.875 through to 9.0 in popsicles, pretty much all being a good shape...

Usually stick to 8,5 since I’ve got big feet (30cm gang wya). My previous two boards were these: https://www.milk-store.com/en/collections/skateboard/products/milk-script-logo-deck?variant=39281190043784 but they chipped really fast and the wood thins out ALOT too. So you can see how long the nose is compared to the tail I really love these kinds of shape


Basically I’m looking for a heavy, solid board that won’t razor tail in 2 weeks

I Read in their ig comments that theyre going to discontinue the 1992/1991 shapes. This is supposed to be the last stop with 1991s. Hope they chance their mindes, the 1991 to me looks like the ultimate old school/ cruiser shape.

I found a 92 shape from last batch that i've been eyeing, is there a big difference between the 91 & 92 in how they ride? Maybe the 92 would be a Little more nimble and cruisey as the wb is a Lil shorter.

Dont know if the 92 fit 169s as the back looks more taperad than the 91

Updated size to 8.5 which is about the same dimensions I have as a perfect all rounder in other brands from the same BBS woodshop and they are so good.

I think the main thing with something like razor tail is no matter what board you get, it will still happen, but the concave is definitely different with BBS wood compared to some / most other woodshops.  If you can go into the shop and stand on a lot of different decks, you will find that some will be quite different to others, but the shop boards will also be a fair bit cheaper than the pro decks, which look rather expensive from that shop.


Standard shape and size 8.5 x 32.125, 14.5 wheelbase, 7.125 nose and 6.75 tail.

I saw someone post in the comments on Instagram that this is the last drop with a 1991 shape in it.  They had confirmed it by DM

Bummer no '92 shape.  I'm loving the one I currently have.

i've noticed this about a lot of shops lately, i think it's mostly to do with the limited amount of stock they have been able to get in.

Shops have been doing that w the last hockey/FA drop too. They know they go quick and locals should get first go ‘round
