Shape/size/skateablity
« on: March 06, 2023, 02:39:50 PM »
Need a new deck but I have very specific parameters, been skating a custom cut deck that's like 3/4th the length of a normal deck, an 9.5ish I think. Pointy almost noseless square tail. What I want is something similar but a bit less large kinda like a zip zinger or the bigger one but I still wanna flip the shit. What kind of shit y'all like?

Dane 1, i had it (now skating regular 9 inch enjoi deck) and it was actually really good for flip tricks because i could put half of my foot on the deck when flicking off.

I've been skating a Girl Bannerot couch shape board. It's 9.25 at it's widest (in the middle) but where you'd pop and flick narrows down to what feels like skating an 8.6-8.75ish. Slightly squared off tail with a longer nose. It's a lot of board under your feet but flips like a dream. The 13.875 WB makes it feel like a much smaller board than it really is.

Also, move this to the shoes & gear section.
