Thank you very much Greg! I’m preparing a Remora for the Whaleshark as well, though, the skater will have to drill its own favorite WB on its board, but I guess any OG’s skater did, or can do it! 🤜🏽
Good going Shane, Nice deck Sophie sent you I love the extra wide tail and the Remora extension. I noticed with the Remora you are able to rest your foot in the front pocket better without the board doing a nose dive. Kind of makes us wonder why more companies don't offer multi holes on the front of their decks. I agree, looks like Sophie scored a 10 on this deck
Great review. I don’t shred it like you but I ride a Tiger shark too and love it. Skate bolts have the same thread but the head size varies. If you want to solve the front truck bolts being slightly proud you can use bolts with small head or if you have any woodworking skills, you can use a chamfer bit in a drill press to remove a touch of material so the bolt sits nice and flush. (I’m really liking your stick drill to help solve the disconnect between my upper and lower body. Lightbulb has started to go on for me. Thankyou)
Agreed. Hand countersink is just as good. If anything it’s better as it’s slower and more predictable. I only use the drill press as it’s to hand and set up.
That’s really good to hear Marcel! As I mentioned before, your feedbacks on the Whaleshark has been helpful in the process of creating the Tigershark. I always keep in mind what the rider’s says about my decks :) The Tigershark is more compact but with a wider tail, so we’re going to be more locked in in bowls and pump track
Deck design is STUNNING!! I think you can solve the "problem" with angled screws, often used in slalom or ldp with some serious wedge risers.... Like Alberto here below, I'm also very interested in a comparative between this deck and a Soulboardiy Adam: which is better for which use? Cruising? Bowl?
@@whitetailskateboards Mhmhm I really don't know, sorry. I know that angled screws are often used in dh, lip and slalom but I don't practice any of those disciplines, so...
Hey Shane, nice review . The deck looks really nice and I am sure performs really well. I would like to know if you have seen the new Long Island Lean Genesis trucks? I think they would be great on this deck. I hope you will do a review on the new Long Island Genesis trucks and their new surfskate the Mossel. I have seen two reviews in French and they say that it is more stable than the Yow but very flexible and a really nice board. You can check them out on their UA-cam site - Oh My Board .
You were riding soundboard y deck in a different video and I would like to ask about your comparative. I’m riding in streets and skateparks, with my yow (meraki trucks) and I don’t know what of the decks will be better for any condition. In souldboardly I’m thinking in a revolution Adam, with less flex, because I think that more flex could be bad for a bowl. I don’t know, could you give me your opinion? Thanks, greetings from Spain and happy new year!!! 🙂
Finally a surf skate deck with a an adjustable wheelbase. I have never understood why more surfskate companies don’t do this. I suppose it forces you to but a whole new deck just to try out a slightly different wheelbase!
Hi Jordan, I wouldn’t know either why other brands don’t add multiple WB options, apart from the cost. It’s a little more expensive to do it, and since a lot of people shop for the lowest price, that might be a reason. I really hope it’s not intended to sell more boards, even though your hypothesis makes much sense. It’s so against sustainability for the planet, and it wouldn’t be really respectful towards the skaters. I’m a skater, first and foremost, and that’s the skater in me that drives my business decisions, and not the entrepreneur. That’s why the skater’s experience is at the top of my priority list 🤗
Hi Shane, Thanks for this fantastic review of the Tiger Shark Deck! I bought one and I am really satisfied about it. I also use the remora extension to get more wheelbase. It works great in the pumtrack and in the flat for pumping. What wheelsize/kind of wheels are you using in this video? Thanks for your answer and keep it up 😊 Cheers from switzerland, markus
Hi Ernie, I am biased because I designed this board based on my personal preferences - and by discussing with other riders like Shane - so take my answer with a grain of salt 😊 but with such a wide tail, dropping in is much easier, and the Remora allows the front foot to be locked in while reducing the risks of nose diving cause the truck can be further in front of the pocket.
Hi David, I made a custom wheelbase on Shane’s TigerShark at his own request. The TigerShark I’m working will have 17”, 18” and 19” wheelbase options, if everything goes as planned. So, to answer your question, the widest will be 19” Which wheelbase length are you looking for?
@@DavidJones-yl9kk thanks for your reply! Then the Tigershark will have the 17 and 18 and I was actually wondering if I’d add a 16 too ! Knowing there is some interest for it, I might just add it. Thank you for your valuable input
Hi Rob! Shane is riding an hand shaped prototype so it might slightly differ from the final one. The final TigerShark isn’t out yet, but I will be able to weigh it for you as soon as it’s ready. Are you asking this because you found the Whaleshark heavy?
@@whitetailskateboards I wouldn't say the Whaleshark is super heavy but I have been curious, as of lately, about lighter weight boards; that's why I'm wondering how they compare. I love the Whaleshark and dare I say, I think the TigerShark looks even better! :)
@@Didgeman80 hihi thanks Rob! I’m really excited for the Tigershark too, I’m waiting for the manufacturer’s prototype, I hope my CAD was okay, so I can give the GO for the production. The wait is killing me 😅
Hi @MrPsiman, I did it for Shane with DKL non abrasive griptape. They are based in USA. Cream Prime in Europe is awesome too. Let me know if you need more details
@@josemon5108 yes, besides the TigerShark has different wheelbase options: 17", 18", 19", in case you wanted to experiment with different surfskate trucks (some shortens the A2A wheelbase)
Thanks Shane for the nice review with your insights and congrats to Sophie @Whitetailskateboards for your excellent improvements 🫶🏼! I would like to know what are your thoughts and intentions of the griptape which seems different from the conventionally used.
It is a non-abrasive griptape. Saves the shoes, the finger and the bags from scratches. Using regular griptape seemed unnecessary for me as these grips good enough.
Hi Peter! Thank you for the kind words 😃 About the griptape, I'm currently testing non abrasive griptape from 2 different brands to see if they'd be a good added value to my collection. Shane is kind enough to try my prototypes like the TigerShark, the Remora prototype and the addition of this non abrasive grip. The griptape testing is still in progress. Do you think I should do a review video about them? Thanks Peter!
Way to go Sophie! The remora seems like an awesome feature of the Tigershark 👏👏
Thank you very much Greg!

I know right! The remora is such an amazing piece of equipment. The more I ride it, the more I like it. The tail is so well thought.
Definitely a 10 !
Aww thank you so much Jay, that goes straight to my heart 😊 I’m really glad you like it

I have a drill press and a set of countersinks, but for a small job like this I just use a hand countersink.

This looks fantastic Shane and Sophie! Excellent improvement to an already awesome deck. A little more compact and edgier design, i’m lovin’ it! 🤙🏻

Oh thank you for suggesting the angled screws! I will check them out!
And thank you also for your kind words 😊
Hi Otteirad, is there any place you’d suggest for the best angled screws?
Thank, it’s really appreciated 🙌🏽

I would love for a qwik trucks with multiple wheelbase options, all my trucks I would typically run at different widths

Hey, Shane where can I get those metal riser pads? I need them! Thanks.
They are quick release plates called 'Qwik Truks'. Hit them up. They are very active on Instagram
Sick!!!
Ripper!
😊
Nice Deck Nice design
Thank you very much 🫶🏼
Indeed! So beautiful 😍
@@shanelai2515 thank you 😊 I’m so glad you like it !
What kind of wheels are you using? And what is the wheel base on the longest setting?
On this setup: rat bones 90a.
The longest wb is 17" (from inner bolts)
Hi David, I made a custom wheelbase on Shane’s TigerShark at his own request. The TigerShark I’m working will have 17”, 18” and 19” wheelbase options, if everything goes as planned. So, to answer your question, the widest will be 19”

Then the Tigershark will have the 17 and 18 and I was actually wondering if I’d add a 16 too !
Knowing there is some interest for it, I might just add it.
Thank you for your valuable input
When will the Tiger Shark be available? BTW 16 is probably a little too short. Your dimensions of 17-19 sounds perfect.
Great review, Shane, thanks! How does the weight of the TigerShark compare to the weight of the Whaleshark? Happy New Year!
Hi Rob! Shane is riding an hand shaped prototype so it might slightly differ from the final one. The final TigerShark isn’t out yet, but I will be able to weigh it for you as soon as it’s ready.

another great vid....but with the sound of the monsterous wheel farts.....yuu rippa 🤙
Can anyone tell me what it is and what is the name of this quick trucks changed system?
The name is "Qwik truks".
Google it or look for it on Instagram 😊
what is that grip tape ? Never seen grip tape like that before
it's a custom griptape that Sophie did for me. It's non-abrasive.
AFAIK it's CreamGrip from Cream Prime
Hi @MrPsiman, I did it for Shane with DKL non abrasive griptape. They are based in USA. Cream Prime in Europe is awesome too. Let me know if you need more details
Hi Shane, 黎好。
what is your height in centimeters? Thanks

175 cm

The noise of the wheels sliding sounds goofy and irritating especially in slow mo. 😮
Way too much whistling
