Guys, do I need to go from 14.5 WB to 15" WB?
Skating more tranny lately than anything, or just curbs, manual pads (not in a tech way at all). popping ollies, dont really care about any flip trick at the moment.
I am trying to improve the tranny skills though. I am 6'3"+ too, so proportionately....does a longer WB make sense for me? Still gonna ride the 9s of course.
im the same height as you, size 12 shoes. when i was real into a bowl/transition phase i was into those 15 inch WB boards. i think they helped me learn how to carve, especially bigger mellower pockets that can be a little challenging to make speed off of.
im back down a to shorter WB, im happy at 14.38 or 14.5. reasons being, i can pivot the board faster which makes stalls and grinds way easier, i get less ghost pop, and flips are easier.
i guess i don't really have an answer for ya, other than i think us bigger guys should be on the longer side of the WB spectrum, but exactly where is up to you. you could even get crazy and go for one of those powell boards with a 15.5 inch WB. for me it kinda helped to size up and then back down, it allowed me to notice a sweet spot.
