Those 8.28s are great, I rode a few when AH did the Fanta Pfanner series waaaay back.

Currently riding my second #numbers edition at a similar size: 8.28” x 31.775” deck says 14.12 WB, website says 14.25 (it's actually 14.12); second board doesn't feel as cripsy as the first one tho, ollies sounds pretty dead.

Shape is really nice, not pointy, not round and not square, just sort of regular popscicle with a slight taper. Steep and Deep tho!

I would like to see more shaped boards along with a more blunt boards ranging from 8-8.5 and as for shapes plzzzzz bring back the “try concrete” board

Loving the shaped eagle 'Brown Bomber.' Short wheelbase 14.25" and wide in the guts at 8.8 but nice taper meaning it rides more like an 8.5" Nice long tail and nose that's not super long.

Top view but it looks a tad more egg shape in real life.

SE are the short editions of the Full shapes. All SEs have quite a bit shorter wheelbases.

Fuck! I don’t like how short my board feels. I was wondering why it felt kinda weird. I like anything from 8-8.25. I like a standard wheel base. This short board is, well short.

Has anybody tried the 8.12 x 31.25 shape? I want a smaller wheelbase but i don't know if it is too much.

I love short, and the wider the board, the shorter it gets is ideal for me. Chode ideals. Don’t ride dlx as much I’d like because most are too long/wb too long. Length is an underrated part of the board-user experience and for sure personal. I haven’t figured out the sacred math

The AH Jalopi shape is awesome. Love the shorter WB.

There's a recent walker tail feathers, busenitz one with stars on it, AH BA devolution. Krooked hasn't made an 8.12 sub 32 in a few years.

We don't have any 8.12s with the short 31.25 WB in the line right now.

I could ask production to put it back in the line if there is a big enough demand... How many people on here would ride it?

I'd give it a whirl. I'd personally prefer more shapes as similar to the Jalopi as possible. That board felt amazing.
Is there anything out there similar ala 8.25 with a 14.1 or so WB?

Many thanks!

Please do, my favorite shape in a long time! Love how short it is with a short wheelbase

Idk · « **Reply #625 on:** June 25, 2019, 07:50:22 AM »

Lenny please! Just more 14” wheelbases please! 🥺 8.0 8.125 and 8.25 length isn’t as important but 14 inch wheelbase go. Especially on a deluxe board.

Murge · « **Reply #626 on:** June 25, 2019, 08:34:16 AM »

I had the jalopi Archimedes board 8.4 with a 14.125 wheel base I think. Best board I’ve ever had

This.. I love dlx but the wheelbases normally take them out of Contention for me. Going to give the 8.06 full se a try when I find one. just hoping to be able to skate a dlx deck again

sharkin · « **Reply #628 on:** June 25, 2019, 01:05:22 PM »

on the contrary, dlx is always on my radar because of the longer wheelbases

Aside from the suggestions I mentioned earlier, I'm currently skating a board that's 8.5 x 32, with a 14.25 wheelbase and with a tail and nose that are really close to being the same in size and steepness, with the nose just being a tad bit bigger. It's one of the best feeling boards I've had in a while. It feels really comfortable and everything just seems to work on it. If you guys made something similar that'd be cool. I know there's already a few of you in here suggesting an 8.5 that's on the shorter side, I'm right there with ya on that one, hah.

This. I love the 8.5 x 32 with 14.25 wb shape that ps stix does for Quasi / WKND, with super square "stretched" kicks, but i want it on dlx wood.
