Concave..... It means first in press aka more concave? It varies from run to run as well...

Great question. How do YOU measure?

Flexible Dressmakers tape down the concave tip to tail

I think that’s how 35th ave does it as well. They post boards and good measurements. When I get mail order skate stuff I buy from them (they are an actual skate shop, not some clearing house....I’m old and cranky about such things). If I remember you are in Australia tho....anyways, I trust their measurements

Paco Supreme · « **Reply #546 on:** January 27, 2019, 10:53:48 PM »

Dave from 35th is always pretty spot on with his measures, they’ve yet to have said board on their site yet but I may just have to be patient to get reliable measurements

Measuring several times (Always tip to tip)

8.375 full se (IV) length 31.9375 width 8.4375 wb 14.375
8.375 full (I) length 32.1875 width 8.4375 wb 14.625
8.25 full se (II) length 31.75 width 8.3125 wb 14.25
8.25 (III) length 31.875 width 8.3125 wb 14.375

I actually come to a conclusion...width is measured 0.0625 more than it's labeled.

All my 8.25: SE FULLs have measured slightly over 8.25", which is great, 'small' 8.3s are rare.

These are super sick. Picked up a few of the black widows and brown bombers. It’s been raining the last few days so still waiting on the shralping

There's a new Ishod twin tail out that I picked up and appears to be the same dimensions as the Polar 8.25 shape I love so much. If it's similar enough DLX you got me back.

Now that I think about it since it's a twin tail it can't be the same dimensions as that Polar shape because that is not a twin tail, but overall it's got what I'm interested in. Under 32" with a shorterish WB

I was eyeing that one as well as I'm downsizing from the 8.3 TT.

Nice! Looks like they're making a 8.5" again too. Gotta do everything I can to get one this time. Always fucking missed it before.

I ordered my 8.3 Ishod TT from Tactics a couple days ago. They went up on the site Friday with 12 decks in stock and they are down to 6 already. Low stock on the 8s and 8.25s as well. Looks like they sold out of the 8.5s already.

That's where I got my 8.25. Two of them.

Thinner egg shape would be sweet. 8.25-8.75

I'm in Finland so I'd have to find it somewhere in Europe. I'll ask my local if they'd be able to get it and if not, I'll look around online. Not holding my breath though as those things seem about as rare as the dodo over here.

j....soy..... · « **Reply #565 on:** February 16, 2019, 08:16:18 PM »

It's nitpicky, but I find the 8.25's actually feel a bit bigger than 8.25....so 8.18? TT?

Lee Ralphs Dear Old Mum · « **Reply #566 on:** February 22, 2019, 09:38:17 AM »

The Brown Bomber shape is perfect. Just got one and won't be riding it any time soon but the proportions are great. Width in all the right areas. I'm guessing it will ride more like an 8.5". Might have to stock a few up.

TurdyBird · « **Reply #567 on:** February 22, 2019, 09:54:24 AM »

Like the look of the brown bomber, but I think I'm more interested in trying that Cardiel shape. I have an old Sims board as my cruiser, but I wanna fresh one and some smaller but still soft wheels. Regardless, you get the Brown Bomber for tranny, cruisin, or streets?

Lee Ralphs Dear Old Mum · « **Reply #568 on:** February 22, 2019, 10:10:15 AM »

The Brown Bomber has a short (for me) wheelbase at 14.25". So I got it for street and smaller tranny. The taper is just enough where I think I could fit 44s on it. 151s or 159s will probably be a better fit though. (Until Ace come out with their new size... mmm....?)

The Cardiel shape is great also but the WB is pretty long. I was in the mood for something shorter.

TurdyBird · « **Reply #569 on:** February 22, 2019, 11:37:41 AM »

Currently riding a board with a 14.75 WB and I'm digging it. However, for a cruiser, I think a shorter WB and some soft 55-56's would be hella fun. Post that bish on the set ups thread if you haven't already!

The only thing that leaves me hesitant on that Cardiel shape is the length on it. I just started skatin 32.25 and unsure if I could go longer.
