Anybody know why Crailtap stopped offering the 9" decks in their $80/$100 mystery boxes? They definitely still make boards in that size. Seems random, but they haven't had them in a while. (They still have the 9.25") Also, just make an 8.75" already.
I could be very wrong on this, but I thought the whole purpose of mystery boxes was to clear out old stock or over stock, so they would really only have whatever they have left they want to get rid of that goes into those things, so probably sold out of some sizes way more quickly than others.
As to 9" in general, there are no where near as many as there are 8, 8.25, 8.5, etc, so they might have had a few of those, got rid of them and now only the other sizes left.
Was it a 9" popsicle, or the shaped boards like Loveseat, Couch, etc?
I had seen 8.75 and 9" Crail boards at one point, but if they didn't really sell that many, or they sold out quite quickly, then I could understand why some people would often say they never make them, if they don't see them.
Crail product is not one I am that familiar with anymore, so I haven't kept up with shapes, sizes, stock or much else in the same way I have with some other distros / brands.
Googled it and came up with this, so yes I was not tripping when I thought I had seen Girl 8.75 boards before:
