I have a SAIZ (totem) that is the standard size ,...almost 30" by almost 10".
Ripper logo on top. Think it's dated 88.

I also have a SAIZ (totem) that is almost the identical measurements but has much more of a concave to the grip tape side.
Dated 1989.
If it was less concave like the 88' dated deck the two decks would be identical measurements.

As it is they are within "tenths" of an inch.

Here we go

What I will call the later deck is more of a "stain" than the other deck and the ripper logo is dressed up like an Indian and it says "mini".

What's the back story/skinny on it saying mini knowing it's not a mini?
For those of you who don't have a SAIZ and thinking about the size it's like almost identical to a later Skull Sword deck with the full size skeleton in the background with the "gigah " shape.
.....spelling on that.......
My bad.
Thnx

Spoon Nose Full Size 10.00 x 31.25
Spoon Nose Mini 9.87 x 29.75

Kick Nose Full Size 10.00 x 31.25
Kick Nose Mini 9.75 x 30.00

They came either painted or stained, with regular or personalized top graphics. Some minis says mini on the top, some don't.

The Gee Gah (one size) is 9.75 x 30.00

It sounds like you have a mini of each style/version/concave.

Sounds like you have a mini spoon nose and a mini kick nose. Typically if it says mini than that's what it is, never seen a Powell that says mini that isn't a mini. I believe the kick nose has the Indian Ripper, but I can't remember, one of them has the Indian Ripper while the other has the regular Ripper. Another tell for the minis is the grip from the factory.

More remarkable- the full size Saiz are some big ass boards.....
31-32" was normal for fulls back then, 28-29" was normal for minis, 30" could go either way.
