WBSWB Movement (Wide Board Short Wheelbase)

Speaking of sick graphics the Kanfoush deck from this series has some nice numbers

I have skated quite a few of the 8.4 x 32 with 14.25 wb back just before 2020, even set another one up the other day too, just to feel it out again and yes, overall they feel very well balanced, nice nose and tail, even shape, not crazy big nose small tail or anything else like a few other options I have seen, so well worth it.

There is usually one every drop or so from AH, so they are not too hard to get if people like that shape too, in case anyone is wondering if it is more a one off.

Yo the Anti Hero Horse Pill is really good.

It feels comfortable like an 80s board, except your front foot doesn't go flying off because it has a proper nose, and your pushing foot doesn't keep hitting the back wheel because it doesn't taper down at the back trucks, and it turns, spins, and flips with the short wheelbase.

The BBS wood feels real good under your feet. 

I hope it stays as a staple in the lineup.

There are often those sort of boards that come out every year, usually around 8.5 at the widest, often a little shorter than 32 or average for that width, but in general they do skate well if you are into that sort of thing.

I can't recall the wheelbase on the Passport shovel or spade shape, but some other boards with around 14 and a bit will be about the same as the TG boards.

@Mbrimson88 cheers for that!
The passport shovel is 14.375 and it’s basically the Polar surf jr shape with a slightly rounded tail. I loved riding both of those boards but the short noses can be annoying for nollie and/ or nose slide tricks. Looks like that TG shape has a longer nose at least in the pics …

Yeah the shorter wheelbase on TG allows for a normal nose and tail, compared to some other boards with a stubby nose or even stubby kicks in general.

I definitely like doing tricks off both kicks, so TG is a good one for that.

Looks like jacuzzi unlimited has a new range of boards called "jetski class" that are wide with a 13.75 wb.
I'd seen they had short wb before but not with that stamp on top

Their other info is a bit on the weird / random / boutique side, but they are on BBS wood, reasonable shapes / dimensions, so that is a plus.

That shape looks pretty cool for a fun cruiser type board and reminds me of a Polar board I have somewhere.


 * Also going to add this to the woodshop thread thanks!

Cool looking boards yeah but they don't ship to my country so fuck 'em.

Grimple!

I just received the original Horse Pill (Antihero Eagle, made in Mexico) and the new one by Grimple (made in China)

Same specs but molds/shapes are different.

I don't have the time now but I'll try to give more details on the differences later
