    Default Long wheelbase 80s-style boards?

    I'm looking to get a new park/pool/street cruiser and I want to go with the classic 80's shape... fat tail, smaller nose. I'm looking for anything 8.5-9" wide (preferably 8.5), with a wheelbase that's 16 to 17".

    Best so far I've found is the H-Street Ron Allen re-issue... 8.5x31.75", 16" wheelbase... I could be down with something that's a bit longer.

    Anyone?

    This seems to be well-regarded at Skull 'n' Bones and I'm thinking of getting one myself: #23 Blood Diamond Deck 33 7/8x 9 5/8 16wb [BD] - $59.95 : Deckcrafters.tv, the worlds best custom skateboard decks

    That Mihalko deck looks sick, but I ended up going with the Ron Allen re-issue. At 8.5 wide I get to keep using my Indy 149s I had on my last park board. Stoked to ride this bad boy next week sometime!
