I've been riding 8.0 with thunder 147s for a bit. Quite stoked on that combo. Just did 3 weeks in NZ and made impulse purchase of Palace Chewy Cannon 8.375 deck and Thunder 149s. Felt kind of neat to just buy some shit and not think about it. Now that I'm home though, I'm thinking about it. A lot.
I’m usually in that 8/147 range for personal comfort.
I recently got an 8.38/149s. Huge nose, wanted to try something different.
So far mostly good. For sure somethings will be different/less good, at least at first. Feels great to roll around. Best 3flips I’ve had in a long while.
I’m not sure why I didn’t get 148s....maybe because it would make too much sense? I tend to skate board between 8-8.4. Soooooo. I blame my extreme personality.
You’ll for sure have fun on it tho, bigger boards absolutely ‘feel’ better to me. And by bigger I mean over 7.75.
