Keep in mind the drop. THe 36 evo has closer to 27 usable inches of real estate

Not gonna lie, first time I stood on it, I was worried. I came from a 43" (more literal land yacht) bamboo push board . All loosy goosey. big enough to do basic dance steps and such. love that thing to death. I actually protoyped that out for electric but then bough the evo because it the bamboo is nicer for pushing

Aaaannyway, evo36 is where its at. im pretty close to 180cm / 6ā€™ and have size 47/12 shoes. I love digging my feet into the drop. its great because you can really lean into acceleration and deceleration. SO you dont really need a wide stance. also makes turning easier , just dig into the vertical bits . acc/dec stability is top tier.
its currently set to a top speed of 34mph and I top it out often enough. no problems on my bushings. Its set about as tight as possible, while still letting me slalom the lane divider lines.
I am also a very avid speed freak, though about 90% of my experience is snowboarding. Ive always riden very low to the ground. basically squating the whole time. idk if thats relevant

while the bamboo board was akin to a cruiser , the evo36 is much more the corvette.
and the evo40 probably more like a gunboat.

Tldr;
I can only compare the evo36 to a long flat board, and its WAYYY better. Canā€™t speak for a longer board with drop. But I wouldnā€™t trade it for a bigger one

I bought a 36 and I regret it, I got used to the shorter size but really wish I went longer

Let me go measure

So, about 22" between the bottom of the drops (inside)
27" between tops of drops

I prefer the 40, its the most stable board Iā€™ve ever been on.

I got a 36", while itā€™s not as stable as the 40" evo it has a couple of advantages. The smaller size makes for a great commuter that is easy to take on the train/bus and it still has really good stability, itā€™s also more fun to do carving on. Iā€™m 180cm and I donā€™t mind the smaller stance, suppose thatā€™s highly individual though.

If you mainly want to go fast Iā€™d go with the 40", for an all around board that can do it all the 36" is a great deck imo.

Iā€™m around 180 cm and I donā€™t have any trouble riding my 36" EVO. I like it a lot with the eLofty DD and TKP trucks.

Itā€™s definitely a short deck though. It may take some getting used to and may not feel as comfortable as longer decks.
