"Tom Asta and Maurio McCoy battle it out on their new shapes! Maurio (usually skates 8.25) on his new 8.4 board vs Tom (usually skates 8) on his new 8.2 board! Who will win on a bigger board? Tune in and find out!"

"I'm always curious on the size foot of the skater vs the width deck they skate. As someone who's had size 12's since probably age 15 I've always skated wider decks like 8.5"-8.8" with the smallest I'll skate being 8.25" which still seems small. I like how some companies making stuff like Santa Cruz with that 8.4" width as kinda a sweet spot".
