Anyone have a line on a lil snuff? I had one bookmarked but dragged my feet and it got snatched up.

Canada is probably not an option, but there is one here:

https://www.palmisleskateshop.com/cromer-waving-hand-838.html

Funny though cause there are still a few here in Australia, and some in the UK / Europe but I know that doesn't help.

A lot more options came up when I looked back over previous graphics for that shape and just used "krooked hands" or "gator" or "sfingx", but quite a few US shops web sites just don't open so I don't know if they have any remaining, eg Cowtown, Uprise, Tristar

I talk too much about skateboards.  Sorry.

Can you share the UK/Euro shops for the lil snuff ?

Thanks, much appreciated!!!
The '80s were the worst period. You had these horrible pop bands growing their hair and calling themselves metal.

I would say it is still the same wood, just not the ones that were specifically allocated to DLX which they try to put the I to IV on, given covid issues and all the rest, sometimes things are a bit out of their control.

I imagine it would feel exactly the same though, but how do the concaves compare on all the decks you just got?

The Ishod dove 8.1 was stamped 1, excellent concave on the steeper side. The 8.06 full se chima stamped 4 is much mellower, i'd say medium concave. Then unstamped 8.25 full se i'd say is in between those 2, medium-high

Just got a krooked Drehobl 8.5 with 31.8 length and 14.25 WB. I didn't try deluxe boards for the longest time because the ones I had were always too long but this shape seems fantastic.

Not sure where else to post this and didn't want to make a new thread. Did anybody see Jim hint at wooden risers on instagram yesterday? I think Jake Anderson mentioned them in his PALS questions.

They look pretty cool, also seems like they have the longer pattern for whatever trucks too, which is handy.

I know a few people have been doing broken board risers (cut up old boards) for a while now, but I have never seen anyone actually market it like that.

Yeah. And, in theory, you'd have similar board feel to not having risers, i guess.

Still haven't seen that 8.38 Mason anywhere. Hope something didn't get messed up with production.

I know there's a Full SE thread but I didn't feel like bumping it since this one is active. I  have been waiting for shops to get 8.5 Full SE's stocked for awhile now. It seems like lately it's only up to 8.38 with the occasional 8.5 here and there OR they sold out immediately. 2018 and 2019 had plenty of 8.5s around...
Anyone know if any current shapes on DLX boards are comparable/similar to the Full SE?

Things have been slow, but more getting out there.

This one in black is the only 8.5 Full in all the current info I have seen, but others would know more.

I just had a look around and there are a few out there actually, one on ebay and others in shops I haven't really heard of, but you could see:

Looks like everyone is getting these now, so you should have a lot of options.

Check out your favourite / local first and if no luck then search online.

I am intrigued to see the „full SE“ sticker on the peace tree deck. It is supposed to be the dreamer shape and on the one I have there was no such sticker. It does not look „full“ either.
why come?

There are two options in that graphic, the 8.06 FULL and the 8.38 DREAMER, which DLX are tending to do more of so I guess two different board sizes mean more interest and market share.

It is interesting / annoying that I have seen some shops put up one size in the listing but actually have the other, so that is another thing to double check, not just buy the board from graphic alone.

Wow. Same graphic different shape depending on the size. Thanks for solving this mystery dude.

Thank you @Mbrimson88! Appreciated those leads. I intentionally ignored CCS and Tactics from my searches, so that's cool CCS and Labor did have them though. Labor's shipping for cross country was not nice. I told myself I could wait since I have at least 6 decks on ice  :-X haha!
Turns out one of my locals had it (just got it in I think?) so I caved and snagged it!

We have discussed this in other threads and it turned out the dreamer shape is the one most similar to a double tail so yes, it's different from other DLX 8.38s. For comparison I had a 8.38 Real Full shape that was actually 8.5. The 8.38 Dreamer is really 8.38. Hope that helps.

Edit: Forgot to add, watch out as DLX has different shapes on same graphics, e.g. the Ishod Peace Tree is dreamer on 8.38 and Full SE on 8.06.

I think they took a long time to get all the new DLX orders out, more specifically the Real and Antihero, as more shops have been posting on instagram lately too.

Glad you got the good one at your local though.  Always makes it a better board buy.

I just looked back though the graphics listed as dreamer shape, found an old one I still have and checked it against other 8.38 DLX boards I have which are my standard go to and it is exactly the same.  The dreamer board was a touch flatter, but that could have just been the mold or number in the stack, eg I is top and has more concave, IV is bottom and is flatter.

It could be different for the newer versions though, but another thing to note - I have some 8.38 DLX decks that are super flat, others that are more normal concave, regardless of number on top.

We have discussed this in other threads and it turned out the dreamer shape is the one most similar to a double tail so yes, it's different from other DLX 8.38s. For comparison I had a 8.38 Real Full shape that was actually 8.5. The 8.38 Dreamer is really 8.38. Hope that helps.

Not trying to be a dick or anything, but re the dreamer shape - After checking an old one as per previous post, I was thinking I should actually check and messaged DLX, then had a very quick customer service reply and it is the same exact shape as the most common regular 8.38 x 32.25 with 14.5 wheelbase.

You‘re not a dick, it‘s cool you asked them. Now the real question remains why on earth is it called dreamer if it‘s the regular shape  :D

Yeah I know hey?!?  I get the others like FULL shape and even the Heavyweights or Slicks, but sometimes things are a little confusing with other shape names.  In saying that, the construction info on the Real site (link below) is pretty cool with all the dimensions of the FULL and FULL SE boards, so you really know exactly what you get.

https://www.realskateboards.com/construction/

The only other thing I can think of is when the specific pro rider shapes are sometimes made into mainstream shapes, eg Lil Snuff is the football shape on Krooked, or the new "Cardi-hella tight construction" is another funny one, but could become the new normal shape for dudes that like wider boards but not super long wheelbases.

He talks about his setup around 20 minutes in. I hadn't heard anyone talk about them before, so it sounded interesting. Risers haven't ever been my thing so I'm curious about how board feel would vary.
