FA/Hockey Shapes

from the spring catalogue

debating between the 8.38 and 8.44 shape
accustomed to 8.5+ boards but looking to set up a "tech" (for lack of a better word) setup

would the 8.38 feel wider due to the boxy kicks? or is the 8.44 wider feeling even with the taper? need answers before i spend $70 on a deck

Wifey came through again! 5th wedding anniversary gift. It’s gonna be tough keeping this one in the wrapper. ( Still riding a freshie at the moment.)

They'd rather make a whole new shape than give ben an 8.5 deck.

8.4 wider, 8.38 fuller. If tech is what you want I dunno if either make sense. I find tech shit easier on flatter decks.

I love skating my first FA Deck, but there’s one negative point: All kinds of Nollie Flips.

You think I will get used to it?
Skated it about 3 times now with venture v hollows and my super consistent Nollie Flips Are not that consistent anymore. 

If I wouldn’t get used to it I’ll go with GX decks I guess

[spanyard]

Yeah my nollie tricks get sketch with that steep nose. The only remedy I've learned on slap & found some what reliable is park your car over your nose overnight. Or if you're a New Englander what I'm saying is pahk de cah ovah yah bahd.

Anyone know the nose and tail length on the 8 x 31.66?

Does FA / Hockey make any 8.75 boards ?

Yes, hockey does

[Thebird]

I saw there was a recent drop of FA decks.  Does anyone know if this means there is normally a hockey drop to follow soon?
