For the most part, DLX cycles through different shapes for their riders just to give everyone a go at said pro boards, which is more often than not, very different to the board shapes they actually ride.
Given they have so many shapes, sometimes mixing it up a bit means with the different shapes to different riders names, someone from the general public can get a board from their favourite pro now and then in a size or shape they like.
I had heard other people talk about board shapes, preferences and overall sales, but I don't think DLX does this as much as some other companies, where who ever gets the 8.25 or 8.5 usually makes the most board sales that drop.
The only times I have NOT seen a board from certain or specific DLX riders is if there was something going on with them, a legal issue or something else, so that person didn't get a board in a normal drop at all, which is fair enough.
* Sorry that might sound rather cryptic but we really don't need to bring up the past issues.
** Doobie always seems to be on the bigger 8.75, same shape as the white eagle, but I don't follow him enough to really check in depth, or know if he does ride other shapes, or just prefers that one.
