DLX Shapes

Anyone have an idea if they’re going to continue the Mason Silva 8.28 shape. Feel like every time DLX has come out with a short board I get really used to it, but they stop making it after a couple drops. Happened with the Kanfoush shaped boards too. Also interested if anyone one has suggestions for a similar shape between 8.25 and 8.5.
L: 31.7”
WB: 14.2”

An 8.38” would be perfect in those specs but beggars can’t be choosers and I wonder if it’s just a small minority of people who like boards this wide with shorter wheel base/ length?

It’s an old Julien Stranger shape so I’d think it stick around. Maybe not very drop but I doubt it’s going anywhere for good.

Prior to Mason using the board, you primarily saw them with Pfanners name on them (this was 6+years ago). Tho he had one (Beres too) in a semi-recent [last year] drop with Lance art; a gnarhunters guest board too.

Doomsayers used to make an 8.28, no clue if it was the same mold.

Had that doomsayers and the board was a banger, like one you remember for years after the fact. Then started hearing that they didn’t pay the video guys, or the artists, and I stopped buying their stuff. But damn that deck was sick.

That is such a bummer. I always thought Omar Salazar would be cool. But I heard that a lot over the years, so there must be some truth to it. Not a good look and a reason why I rather support Magenta for example.

I think the one I had (might still have somewhere) is 8.28 x 32 with 14.25 wb, so it has a bit longer tail than a couple of the others which was why it was such a good board for me.

Just the size was a bit funny as I was mainly on 8.12 with an 8.5 as a big board alternative, so it didn't really fit in with what I was skating a whole lot at the time.

The other one was the 8.4 shovel that people were wanting, but I never had one of those.


The hardest thing with Doomsayers is being a smaller company, it seemed they couldn't get good quantities of BBS during the pandemic so had been on a number of different boards, from all over, some PS Stix, some pretty average boards with Made in China on them, some with Made in USA on them which were kind of weird to stand on and now some more with nothing on them besides graphic and even more weird shapes and feeling of concave.

Was it a double or just shovel nose?  I recall the shovel nose, same as the Antihero Miorana deck in 8.4 which I saw a few of online still.  There was a wider double shovel in 8.58 or something though.

I also found the board I have, dimensions look about right:


https://www.slamcity.com/products/doom-sayers-8-28-club-becky-skateboard-deck


• Width 8.28”
• Length 32.25"
• Wheelbase 14.125"
• Concave Medium


* Reminds me more of the AWS decks, longer boards with shorter wheelbases, but this one is not squared off like those ones.

Double shovel, but no idea if it was symmetrical.

Does anyone know, if that is a new shape from DLX?
I can't remember seeing these measurements before. These specs sound too good to be true but I don't trust online measurements.

8.25

Not sure where they got those measurements from,  but that deck is the standard DLX 8.25 x 32 - 14.38

Well, Antihero lists it with a 14,38" WB and 32" length...

[fs1/2cab]

I always found the DLX 8.25 decks a bit shorter as 32". More like 31.9". Yes, I have the madness and I recognize 5mm difference on my decks, trucks and wheels.

Indy 139 and 144 I totally feel that difference for example.

Anyway, back to the topic, Gerwer got the 8.4 deck this time. I know a few people here love that shape.

I feel like the 8.4 shape (that stays straight through the middle and is nicer with the size of kicks) is much better than the usual 8.5 that is more like 8.3 and tapers a lot towards the tail, but that is just me.

Still have a couple in a box if I ever want to get back on a shorter wheelbase again, but for now the DLX 8.38 and other BBS 8.5 boards are keeping me happy, both with 14.5 wb.


* I also felt a huge difference between 139s and 144 when I was on the black eagle 8.12 boards, riding 139s for a long time but switching it up when the 144s came in around 2017, but now it is 149 on 8.38 which is pretty much my easy setup til I am done.  Always keep at least one or more setup with 139s and one with 144s on it though to have a bit of fun on occasionally.

[LebowskisRug]

For some reason I wasn’t as stoked on the 8.4, but I’d consider it again for sure.

The 8.38 feels pretty nimble so far. Interested to see how it continues to go. As far as shapes are concerned I could ride that or the 8.25 happily for a long time with no issues.

what are the dimensions on the 8.4 Gerwer mentioned above?

The dimensions you just mentioned are the navy blue eagle (I think), and also the crail G039.

**since the pandemic started, I’ve noticed this shape, navy blue, being used on Krookeds as well.
Baker has some boards in about that size, but their shapes are different (I like em, the OGs, but some don’t like the pointy).

I have a Cardiel 8.4 from a couple seasons ago. It's 32" long with 14.25" wheelbase. I can't find my tape measure, but hopefully someone else can be more of help.

[Frank and Fred]

The 8.4 has a 6 5/8" tail and 7 1/8" nose

That 8.5 shape has always been used by antihero, krooked, and real even before the pandemic. Unity/there are also now using it as they are under dlx.

If it’s the same Drehobl shape that’s been around for years, it’s a great shape. Feels very functional. It tapers quite a bit. About 8.5” above the back trucks I think. Tail is short but works nicely. I’ve had one as a cruiser for a long time. Been meaning to skate it as a normal board for ages but haven’t for some reason.

Yes, same shape that was out before, just a new graphic.

I think I had a stand on that shape once or twice, but left it as I had others I was more into at the time, but as you said, shorter tails are not my thing either, so that might have been why I didn't ever set one up.

One site has them as this:

Width (inches)   9.25
Length (inches)   31.8
Wheelbase (inches)   14.25 – 14.75


* Definitely not 9.81 wide as it has on SPOT site though.

I am curious to see that 9 x 33 with 15 wb shaped board with the Team Eyes graphic in person, not that I need anything else.

I know others have had it on here and it looked like fun.

So that Mermaid 9.81 is a different one and not the Drehobl Shape?

The 9.81 is most commonly known as the Sweatpants shape and it is different than the Drehobl shape which is called Dan's Rig. There's been a Sweatpants in pretty much every drop for the past few years and usually it has the Sweatpants graphic on it but as you can see not always.

Edit: @jakeumms beat me to it. 

Correct.  Mermaid is the Sweatpants shape. Drehobl is different.

[Weezil]

I like the dan's rig shape, haven't totally killed mine off yet b/c I haven't seen any in a minute.

Very nice. Looks like a lot of fun. Made me think of this image from a couple years ago
