I know its relatively not that wide but does anyone know of good 8.38s with a shorter wb? Like 14.25 or under. I've noticed that most 8.3s are usually 14.5. I've seen more 8.5s at 14.25 for some reason. Not a deal breaker to go with 8.25 or 8.5 but I feel like 8.3 is an ideal width for me.

If you prefer PS Stix, WKND makes a nice 8.375 w/14wb. I think it's the 8.375NH shape.

I just happened on another Heroin 8.5 x 32 twin with a 14.0 wb when looking for something else earlier.  This shape has been talked about before (Feb 2024) for an older graphic, but this is current again with this new graphic and same shape, so I thought I would post it (again).

I think I’m into the short stubby boards. Anyone got any recs on 8.5 shorter than 32 length with rounder-ish noses?

I would be inclined to see if you can find any Tru Fit boards from DLX - Real, Krooked or Antihero, as they have quite a few options and their regular boards are just scaled down in length and wheelbase, so something like the 8.5 (or even 8.38) Tru Fit shapes might be good for you.

There is also the Antihero short, as well as the Real shorter boards too, but they might be a little harder to find, although checking their current and previous catalogs might help more than a bit there too.

Compared to some other brands, at least these are all over the world, so here in AU there are quite a few around.


If in USA, the skatesamples.com site has a couple of the shorter boards on their site, which also might work.

Seems like quite a few more brands are putting out shorter options now anyway, when I scroll somewhere like Tactics in looking for product info.
