After riding a 9"x33"x14.75" popsicle some time ago and stopping because it felt too long, I got a couch and I'm still not happy. It's kind of the other side of the big boy spectrum I guess, it almost feels like a normal 8.5 deck and doesn't really add anything for me by being wider around the middle. Now I miss the stability I had on the 9" popsicle.
So here's to the next one, any recommendations for a middle ground? 9" with 14.25-14.4" wheelbase and a bit less taper maybe? Oh and I like em steep. The couch tail is also a bit too mellow for me, especially with the 3 fingers of flat. Kinda ridiculous. It feels like a mini board.
I think I would like the couch if I had 8.75 thunders or ventures, but I'm definitely not buying more trucks. Currently riding it with AF1 66s, which makes the pop feel stupid light. Might just try it with 8.5 thunders I have.
