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.

Going to be a little while until its set up. Got a couple of others to get through first.

Sorry in advance since I posted this in the cruiser thread already, but still looking for some input.
I got this shop deck recently and they told me it was generator pressed and that they used an AH Grosso mould?
Anyone got any idea what board that could be? Dimensions are ~9"W x 33"L x 14.75"WB

Grosso has more squared off shape but it’s similar. Looks fun!

yeeah those square nose ones were the only ones i could find so im thinking it might not be a grosso shape.
it is fun! widest board i've ever ridden and cruising feels so goood

I’ve seen photos of Jeff skating something that looks similar, it might be a non production shape for him. He’s bound to have a few

i did not consider that option; that'd be pretty rad!

This Ishod 8.25 twin tail is alright. It's a IV concave and I think I'd like a III better, and if I could pick I'd do a twin nose over twin tail. They're a little shorter and pointer than I'd prefer. Will probably go back to the Polar 8.25 or a Hockey shape I liked after this.

The shorter nose feels like it offsets the balance of the board a bit....nollie stuff was more challenging but switch off something shorter worked well....it's a shuv machine too....

To add in my 2 cents, I recently got the Real Brock x D.A.D.S Saveit 8.25 and I fucking love it. Stamped II, so steeper concave, but nothing that feels like standing on the board primo.

Great pockets. They feel comfy and safe.

isn't that the shaped eagle? I cannot remember the name of it but 'm sure they did a 9".

Maybe the Orange Crusher...

A twin nose would be great, or a twin somethin' between a nose and a tail, never got the chance to try the Ishod one

Someone needs to make a twin kick, something that isn't a nose or a tail but a hybrid, like the old Mystery Symetry decks.

Any chance of a 9x32 with a wheelbase sub 15”?

I like the orange eagle but I setup a kader that’s 32 as opposed to 33 1/4. It feels great.

The eagle is sick but there’s a lot of board basically doing nothing. All the extra length is in the nose of the eagle. The tail is only like a 1/4 inch longer than the kader. It’s weird.

None of the other AH setups I have are nearly as long and I got that old yeller with the 16” wb.

Most of the AH setups I have are 15” wb so I don’t think that’s the issue. It just feels like I’m skating on the back half of that eagle instead of the whole board

I think that old yeller is the same shape as the Gonz Roost 2 deck (the blue one) that I have. I’m digging the shape on it, and might pick it up for a back up. It’s my favorite cruiser, feels like a long board, but skateable.

anyone here familiar with what shape the cromer alligator krooked graphic is on? Looks pretty egg shaped online and none of the locals got it in yet. Based off how it looks in pics and brads bunt ep, I’m thinking of picking one up next.

Its a tiny football shaped deck. Really fun

Not sure, sorry. If I were to see one in person I'd be able to get a better idea. My assumption is that they're more rounded off, as opposed to pointy, with a mellower concave as the noses on boards usually are. or maybe it's just a marketing ploy (just 2 rounded off "tails"). I'm stumped.

Hope to find it some day in some European store... almost perfect on paper.

Currently skating a baker OG 8.475 shape, and as a relative newbie skater really liking the mellow concave and kicks. Finding the tail a bit pointy and short and wondered if DLX had something similar but with a longer fuller but still mellow tail.

i had an 8.5 navy antihero eagle deck and it felt pretty similar to the baker i had (same shape as you) but it had a bit more concave. the kicks are fuller though, i can take a photo of the shape with grip for you if you want.

JK42 · « **Reply #593 on:** April 27, 2019, 03:41:31 PM »

Yeah that would be cool. I saw a guy on you tube talking about the I to IV numbering system for concave on real decks. But no idea how you ensure which you end up getting as no places online seem to detail this, so it’s a lucky dip.

This is pretty spot on, I’ve emailed smaller shops from out of state before buying things. Stupid questions too like top veneer stain or to see if it had a ps Stix seal if the brand was known to split productions

Does anyone know what the WB and length is of that 8.4 Real deck with the cop car and instructions on how to smash it was?

Think it was in last year’s spring or summer lineup.

Hey Slap Pals,

We're working to some new Deluxe deck shapes. Any shapes you like now that could use a tweak to make it perfect?

If anyone has any suggestions, ideas or input we'd love to hear them!

I really love the antihero 9” shaped deck, but if you could maybe make the nose a bit sharper pointed I would love it even more

I don't know the board you're talking about but every Real 8.4 I just looked at has a 14.25 wb. I had a Cardiel Antihero last year that was the same dims and I'm gonna hazard a guess is the same shape. I really like that shape. That set up was stolen out of my car before I really even got a chance to ride it so I look wistfully at the AH 8.4s all the time. I've got other stuff to skate before I buy anything else but I'll likely get another one. Good to know that DLX has that shape for their other brands. Thanks for making me look that up.

Nice!

I like it a lot too. Is that considered an SE (short wheelbase) for Real?

Jalopi has some short wheelbases to. We’ve got an 8.28 with a 14.1 WB at the shop right now. Deck is under 32” if I’m not mistaken too.
