Does Primitive have an 8.75" egg on the market or are they made specially for Kyo?

Ok maybe I’m just not that tapped in, but what specifically constitutes an egg shape.   I was just thinking about those Heroin decks

Big round tail, pointy nose, slightly tapered towards the top like an egg, with slightly rounded edges

I thought they were a custom shape specifically for him but I checked Primitive's site and they do have them for sale

No clue what the dimensions are though

I think a board with an egg shape and a Tenga Egg graphic would be super sick.

In his pocket followed piece I think he mentioned they were working on a shape just for him. But they do have an egg that Frankie skates too.

Doesn't Frankie ride similar shaped decks as well?

Such a weird fit for Lakai, but they seem to do decently well in Japan.

Didn't Lakai get sold off to a Japanese conglomerate? Probably leveraging distribution in Japan to build the market presence there.

Whoever is running their Japan distribution is killing it. I rarely see anyone skating a pair of Lakais in the US but there was a ton of dudes running them in the Tokyo scene

I have it, I am riding it right now. The first release was 8.75" on Franky's bat gold foil graphic.

I also have Franky's shape 9.125" its almost exactly the same. It's hard to tell the difference between them from far away. They both have 14.25" wb from memory. I believe 7" nose and 6.75" tail but i haven't checked in awhile. it's close to that anyway.

This size was made for Kyo and the Twin tail Shape was made for Dylan Jaeb.

I think he fits perfectly on crail, better than primitive..
His part in bubble was great, reminded me of some classic girl/chocolate stuff
