FA, Hockey, Alien, or Quasi are big companies that have massive kicks. I dont really know too much about blanks.
Quasi I think has much flatter shapes than the FA / Hockey Shape, some of the quasi's have that blunted nose , but I feel like the concave overall is much less than the FA shapes.
alien / hockey / FA are also all BBS and Quasi is PStix
Yeah quasi is way mellower than FA. The only thing thats similar about them is the wide/square-ish nose. FA nose is also a little bit longer (and a lot steeper). Actually the BBS FA boards might have one of the highest nose-to-deck length ratios of anything I've skated. The 8.18 and 8.25 both have like 7.25" noses on a 31.75ish deck.
The Plan B deck I have also has a really big nose relative to its size but the tail is super short, like 6.25. My Blood wizard 8.25 is similar, with an average tail but 7.13 nose on a 31.6 deck (14 wb though).
If you're OK with longer boards then probably the biggest nose I've ever attempted to skate was a Foundation star and moon that was labeled as 8.38 but was actually a little over 8.5. The nose was almost 7.5 and the tail was just under 7, but the deck was like 32.5 length.
