i just got my widerglider complete in the mail today. i've had my eye on this board since brian was first mentioned in the short blurp in concrete wave a long while back. to be honest with you guys, i assumed this board was to be all hype. i was just expecting something that would be average, and not be blown away, due to the hype beast.
thankfully, i was wrong. in my 8 years i've been boarding i've owned close to 100 setups, just trying to dial down exactly what i would want with what components. the widerglider is hands down one of the most comfortable boards i've been on. the flex is perfect, wheel wells are right on spot for how i ride, and the indy 215's are a perfect match to the 66 gravity burners. this is going to be one of my main rides for a long time to come.
on another note, has anyone shortened the nose a bit on their thruster to make it less intimidating to use?
Today I was tearing it up on my older brother's Lil' Buddy with Babyballs (got down those rollin' ollies... I'm so pro) for a little bit, which got me real excited about the Miniglider (which I am most definitely picking up). Then I grabbed my Boomerang and screamed down the streets to pick up my younger brother from his friend's house, and danced all the way back home while he followed half a block behind on his S9 Ganesh.
damn.. you guys are killing me. Guess I'll start doing some window shopping for da Boomer.
Please do sir its an amazing board and your only robbing yourself by not having one. Its the perfect amount of snappy fancy flex. Especially for bigger cats like myself all and all its my favorite.

I'll be getting a miniglider. Fo sho. Looks perfect.
Are 169s or 149s more suitable for the width? I can't quite tell.
And is that a little kick-nose I see? Can't wait to get a glimpse of the final product.
Thanks so much for the pic Brian. Sunshine on an otherwise cloudy day.
from what i can tell (basing guesses off of how the ratios match for the drill holes)
Length = 31.875"
Width = 9"
WB = 19.5" and 20.625"
Width of Tail = 6"
so i would go 169s with the miniglider. but that's just me and is all pure speculation at this point in time.
PS Brian, am i close on the measurements?

Last I heard it was around 100 for the supermodel.
