So I thought it would be a nice idea to help each other out if we are looking for specific deck specs and which woodshop/company does them. I'll start.
Width: 8.1 - 8.2
Wheelbase: 14 - 14.25
Length: 31.6 - 31.8
Concave: Mellow
Woodshop: everything, not sure about HLC quality tho
And of course ya all can kook me if that is stupid.
Cheers pals
Fuck. We might have to take this to PMs because that's in my wheelhouse and I've got a mental illness that requires me to try anything I find that fits. I can write 10 pages on this easy.
Right now, my number one recommendation would be the Scumco evan smith 8.25. There's some considerable stack variation (as with most PS board) but the bottom stack, most mellow ones are one of my favorite boards ever. That being said, PS wood doesn't last super long and it's not super stiff (which some people dislike), plus the kicks are pretty square, so if any of that isnt up your alley you might not love it.
So here's a few others off the top of my head that are high in my list.
DOA Flat as fuck (e mold) - hard to find right now, but there should be some coming out relatively soon. I personally prefer the 8.12 slightly but the 8.25 is fantastic too. South Central is thicker and stiffer than PS but it has tons of pop and lasts forever.
Blood Wizard 8.25 (PGI) - the new BW boards are clutch but theres still a fair bit of PGI out there so not hard to find. The PGI will be 31.63 length with a 14wb. Big nose for a short board, really nice mellow tail, good stiff wood (some people shit on it for being China wood but it's good enough that people mistake it for BBS a lot) that lasts a while.
Some of the flattest boards I've seen/skated have been the Toy Machine mellow mold PS ones, but the 8.25 usually has a 14.5 wb for some reason. I don't notice it as much on that shape as I do others though, and it's still really good. Unfortunately it's kind of a mess with toy machine boards from at least 4 diff woodshops in shops right now, so make sure it's PS. Alternatively, if you don't mind pink the Scumco Brian Downey board from the latest PS run is the toy machine mellow shape (including the long wb).
If you want something flat concave but medium kicks the Watson pressed tumyeto boards are good too. And of course there's always quasi and the scumco beall/Abair PS shapes. For BBS id say birdhouse is probably the best "mellow" (I don't consider any bbs molds truly mellow) one, and I think Element and Uma use that mold as well. There's also Pennswood silver spoon if you like heavier duty boards but it's kind of weird feeling for me, the tail feels steeper than the nose or something.
If any of these interests you and you need help tracking one down let me know. Any time I come across a board in my wheelhouse I bookmark it even if Im not currently looking for one. If that fails and you don't mind used boards I'm in the process of trimming down my ludicrously large stack, so if you (or anyone else) are in the states shoot me a message and we can possibly work something out.
