Im not gonna mention brown bombers because id be expected to mention brown bombers, because i love brown bombers, and i have a stockpile of brown bombers, but lets move on from brown bombers.
Im really enjoying the frankie hill deck, i wish it was 32” long though.
The other big decks ive liked a lot have been the 9” shaped girl decks (couch or love seat), but the stress cracks were so annoying, I couldn’t live with that...would be cool if they release them in the Pop Secret lineup!
Ive had a couple of VX 8.8 decks, but they were both the older shape with 15” WB. I also rode those backwards because the tail was too short and steep.
The Black Label 8.68 popsicle was great, the WB was a little longer at 14.6, but skated really well.
I think for me, the sweet spot on wheelbase is
-14.4-14.6 on Indy’s with 54mm wheels
-14-14.25 on Thunders with 52mm wheels
The thing i find harder to find is length...a lot of the shorter wheelbase big decks are 31’ish long, that’s something I struggle with more, I really need something between 32-32.25...feels weird typing these fractions as big differences but its amazing how much it changes my skating!
