The average board has a nose of around 7 and a tail of around 6.5 with the wheelbase being most commonly 14.25 to 14.38 but of course that is just the average and in no way reflects on any and every board or brand out there.
For the most part, a lot of boards would go up in every dimension as they get bigger, but I think that has also changed somewhat, so now there are quite a lot of wider boards that are still shorter, or at least not as long as they have been in the past.
Not to compare the AH orange eagle 9 x 33 with 15 wb and 7.1 nose, 6.8 tail with something like the AH Horse Pill at 10", which is the same overall dimensions as the blue eagle 8.5, in this case the Horse Pill being 10 x 31.75 with 14.25 wb, 6.8 nose and 6.5 tail.
Some other boards do have longer kicks, or longer tails, including one I used to always ride which had 6.75" tail and was great at 32 long with 14.25 wb, but it was only 8.125 so not really anything to note in this thread, but I would definitely be keen to replicate that board in a wider option, eg something from 8.5 through maybe 8.75 to even a 9" wide deck.
Right now I have been bringing in the tail on a number of boards, just to replicate the slightly longer tail feel, so right now a DLX 8.5 x 32.18 with what was 14.38 wb is now 14.18 and feels great with that back truck slightly in, which would fit into boards in this thread, even if it didn't start out that way.
I really like how the double drilled baseplate, or in this case the drilled in deck on Thunders, works better for me, but I guess I am also a strange one in what I prefer, compared to the average skateboarder.
