I've been on an 8.25 & occasionally 8.125, usually with longer (closer to 32") and short WB (14-14.125"). Now I'm thinking if I should try a 8.5 again, last time I rode one was post-lockdown and my first session felt horrible. Could be the combination new setup and it was my first session in 2 months, plus I rolled my ankle on that day, so the bad experience lingers.
Anyone have any words of wisdom for me?
If I sized up, I would like to maintain the same dimensions (32 x 14.25).
Edit: not trying to fix any issues, just the usual gear madness creeping in. A buddy of mine recently went from 7.75 to 8.6 and he's in love with it, go figure.
