Big Boards 9"+( I wanna hear big boys talk about their big boards)

looks like im permanently returning to 9+ boards
did some measuring and found an equation for my madness
10.5 is supposedly the average mens shoes size in the us
we can assume 8.25 is the average board size
10.75”(size 10.5) - 8.25” = 2.5” of overhang
11.5”(size 13 rounded) - 2.5” overhang = 9.0” or 8.25” equivalent

9.0 = 8.25
9.25 = 8.5
9.5 = 8.75
9.75 = 9

never struggled flipping “big” boards. well, me sized boards
im not really heroins target demo but they got the shapes
hoping to find a 9.25 egg or 9 pop on sale for my next setup
gotta work with my hooper proportions somehow

This has been my thinking for a little while. Which is why I have a 9.25 in the mail (I’m a size 14 shoe)

I think it’s been well established that this is the correct way to find the correct deck size:

u left the most important dimension out. general rule of thumb is your dick
size multiplied by 1.25

Krooked Dan Drehobl shape 9.25”
Ace AF1 55s
Real 3 ply risers
Jessup Ultragrip decorated by my girlfriend
Spitfire F4 99A 58mm OG Classics
Bones Swiss Six
Pig rails
Some old bolts

Had this as my cruiser with Ace 55 Classics and 60mm Ricta Clouds for quite a while. Took it off a good while ago and regripped. The 55 classics were too wide for it as it tapers to 8.5” at the back.

Set it up as my main whip now and it’s amazing. Really like the shape. Had a Welcome Nora before this which I couldn’t get along with.

That grip is amazing! Good to know about the taper too! I’m a big fan of Ace 55 AF1s and i’ve been eyeing that shape for awhile now! How’s the tail on it?

Thanks. I love the grip as well. I’ll definitely need to give my girlfriend the freedom to do my grip jobs in the future.

The tail on the Drehobl shape is short! It’s approximately 6.25”. I guess it’s kinda mellow through as it pops very nicely. I like the shape of the tail also. Feels like a normal shape for a 8.5” deck tail except it’s so short. The board doesn’t feel like an egg at all despite the strong taper. I dunno what I’d compare it to. Feel kinda like an 8.5” and kinda like a 9.25”. It’s a bit unusual but very nice.

Do you think I could do that with the current Gonz shape and put the Huffer wheelbase on it?

[close]

Generally speaking, yes it is not too hard and usually works fairly well, but drill the nose out more so than the tail.

Is that the Sweatpants graphic / shape?  * I say sweatpants, as that is the (roughly speaking) 9.8 x 32 with 14.38 wb, but the graphic changes a fair bit, current catalog being "Gathering" graphic.

https://krookedskateboarding.com/fall22/kr-fl22-d1-08.jpg


Using the six hole baseplate, it is easy to do the bolts up tight, drill out the spare holes, then turn the baseplate around and drill out the inside holes.  That is 3/8 longer, so that and the existing 14.38 will become pretty much the Huffer 14.75 wb, or 14 3/4" if that makes sense.

Perfect, thank you very much sir!

[Lee Ralphs Dear Old Mum]

I wouldn't  mess with the Gonz sweatpants shape.The nose and tail are just about the same length. If you lengthen the wheelbase you'll end up with a tiny nose. That shape is really well thought out. Just an unsolicited opinion.

Yea, good advice. For a 3/8 inch difference I will probably try it first with the original wheelbase and see!

Christmas complete, except for the bearings.
Stoked to have another $lave Warpig set up. I rode one a year or 2 ago and it's such a fun shape.
Indy 169 standard hollow. Real wooden 1/8" riser.
57mm Kader F4 Radial Full. I got these when they came out and just now getting around to setting them up. They are huge. I'm glad I didn't get the 60mm. These are plenty big.
Excited to take this for a spin.

Had to pull the trigger on these two:

[djoekr]

Anybody here that skated a Zip Zogger before? I've been intrigued by the shape but couldn't find any available. Saw that the Sam Davidson Zogger finally has a graphic that I like, so I might give that one a try if I can find one in Europe.

I have one - I've done a decent amount of skating on it but ultimately found it wasn't functional enough for me to justify using it over one of my other setups. The short wheelbase, short nose and tail and super fat middle makes it feel like you're riding on a dinner plate. Fun for smaller swoofier transition and curb skating but I found myself turning it into a beer cruiser pretty fast. I'll admit that new graphic made me thirst for a new one a little bit though.

[sharkin]

I love my zogger. don't have it set up now but i run it with 169s and it's a lot of fun.
I can echo as a shorter board its good on small transition and curbs. Nice thing is it's easy to land on if your feet are remotely close to the board you just kinda stick it down and ride it out.

If you have a zogger shaped hole in your life, fill it, but it's not going to be something you pick over any other board most of the time.

The Brue Killer I posted in the set up thread made me a fan of steep kicks so I looked into getting one for my main board. Was hoping for a normal popsicle but local was kind of short in that area but they had a ton of reissues.

The deck has the Cruz Missile Concave which feels insane. Not sure if I like it for sure yet, but wow steep kicks just work so well for me. I think I'm over mellow/flat decks for good.

Concave looks savage!

Already took the plunge. Shape made me laugh out loud when I first saw it and I think it's gonna be a good board for bullshitting around in my local parking lot. Haven't decided if I'm gonna run it with AF1 77s or Classic 55s, but I'm gonna experiment with it once the weather clears up.

definitely gonna need an update on how it skates
been eyeing it for a minute, but if its a one off i gotta pass

[munchbox]

might also get an answer here
anyone redrill their board by 1/4” (+/-) and have any issues?
is wood filler a good idea to add strength?

It does seem a little too close, compared to the 3/8" distance that the six hole baseplates give, but I know people who have done it and not had issues.

If I recall, someone on here did break through the other sets of holes, but that was when the board shot straight into a curb or something that might not be quite "normal use" but I didn't go looking.

I have a Deathwish board here that is double drilled 1/4" apart on the nose and it looks like it would hold up well enough.
