Anyone seen the new “Cardi hella-tight construction” shape in person yet? Just noticed it’s a different size and length than the regular dlx 8.6 shape.  Slightly shorter wheelbase and overall length. Haven’t found any pics of it yet though.

Stranger 8.4 with the 14.25 WB sounds interesting - I've been pretty big on the 8.38 with 14.5 WB AH + Krooked decks for the past year.

I posted about it above, but I'm skating that shape on the Kanfoush expressions deck and it's the best. I tried to stockpile a few since I'm not a fan of the graphics on this run, but most shops are sold out.

At least a bit of excess griptape used as sandpaper and the animals on the Lovers series are all but gone, whereas the Stranger just hurts my eyes.

Did you see above the board measurements show those 8.4 to be smaller than they are?  I have a few and they were good rides for what they were, but it is interesting to see how much smaller than the 8.38s they seemed.

I did see that - I'm a bit surprised because I measured the 8.4 Kanfoush and its exactly 8.4. I'm starting to wonder if this shape is a unicorn.

The best example I have to offer, is when I did have about ten or so of the same board, some from the same run as well as other runs, lined them all up sitting on one side so I could see the concave and pull out the more mellow ones to ride first, I did also notice slight differences in the widths, some a bit wider, some not so wide and could feel it when I ran my hand over the stack, but could not feel any difference when actually skating them, even when the difference between two boards was about 3mm.

It might mess with your mind, but when you have it under your feet, it will still feel exactly as it should.

The other thing too is in the measurement details, eg how a board is measured or if the tape measure has a longer lead in the hook end or getting it right on the edge / middle ply vs sitting on the top ply (can be a difference of +4mm too I saw between two different tape measures when we had a bit of a measurement crisis in the shop one day) but I guess it also comes down to whether or not you can buy in a shop or have to order online too.

I talk too much about skateboards.  Sorry.

Thank you!  Don't know how I missed it but it is still not linked from DLXSF and didn't come up from any other searches either.

No green 7.81 eagle??

Does anyone know if there's a difference between the regular AH orange eagle and the ones marked ZEK9? Native have them both up on site but I can't find a difference.

Production post covid seems nowhere near where it was or should be so I am guessing there are still only a fraction of the required quantities and shapes being produced at the moment, so maybe the 7.8 size is on the "still to be done" list, along with the 8.0 eagle and the shaped eagles.

They have one at one of the locals here, going to take a second look tomorrow. That being said, it just looked like a slightly shorter 8.6", standard AH shape and kicks.

That sounds like something I would definitely be interested in. I wonder if it will stay in the lineup or just a random one off

There is a super hi res pic from Krudco shop of the Cardiel and other new decks, looking good with the long round kicks.

The curious thing is the sticker shows 14.6 wheelbase, the specs say 14.5 wheelbase, so it would be good to know which it is if someone can measure it in store.

it could be that the shop is measuring from the edge of the hardware holes, instead of from the centers.  I hate it when the shop measurements vary from the company specs, sketches me out.

It is actually on the Antihero catalog page, so from the source, the printed dimensions say 14.5 directly under the sticker which has 14.6 on it.

But I definitely get what you are saying.  So many shops have generic sizes in dimensions on web pages, so I have often had to check multiple sites to get the correct info when I wasn't sure what some boards were.

This would be a must have. Honestly could replace the blue eagle 8.5 as my go to shape. Maybe if we all beg for it we’ll get it

Lots actually in all sizes, but I guess it depends on what size, where you are or who gets them in...

8.38 Real Mason

Has anyone seen this Mason anywhere? I've seen all but this one...and it's the shape I'm holding out for.

why do they put such a long WB on a board as small as a 8.06x31.8, Seems like a big wb for such a relatively skinny and short deck. 

I can see it working for someone tall but I figure that person would just go towards one of the 8.25x32-32.25 shapes.

I had a look again at all the current DLX drops, as those Real Full 8 inch decks in the drop have 14 even wheelbases, which I would think most people consider very short but might be more to your liking.

https://www.realskateboards.com/

The regular Real, Krooked and AH are a different size, coming in at 14.38 which is about standard for most in 8 to 8.5 sizes, so yes it is a touch longer than the average, being about 14.25 but then there is also the very short 8.12 x 31.38 with 14 wheelbase in the range too.

Another thread had questions on why the 8.38 was longer than the 8.5 stubby shape, so I guess that is a similar thing happening here. 

Some people like the longer boards, some like the shorter and Deluxe are one of the companies who do seem to listen and are making products that people ask for.

I is the top of the stack so more concave. A III would be the second flattest. Personally I don’t find the concaves to be too different feeling. At the end of the day they are all the ideal bbs concave that I like.

I have two setups with the exact same shape, but one has a concave I and one has IV.  I can tell the difference - barely, and only if I stand on one then the other.  It doesn't effect my skating in that I doubt it is the reason I am landing or not landing a trick.   I also had the deck earlier in an III.  I no longer care where in the stack it is.

I'm not too picky, I can have fun on anything. The III feels great.

Lovin the Gonz 9.8 so far. It feels great with Indy 169s and 56mm Orb Specters.

A few places had pics which look pretty good for the size and shape, could just be my eye or the graphic but looks more tapered than the other big gonz sweatpants, but I am curious to see a set up pic too, not just shop pics like these.

Just saw the set up Gonz now too https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=97297.2430;topicseen
