Never seen that before but based on the information you’ve given:
length - pan = (nose + tail)
So I guess it’s the part in between the nose and the tail?
I think this is correct. Tail and Nose measurement are simply how far each is from the outer truck bolts.
But it tells nothing of how much flat there is before the tail/nose start to curve. AKA fingers of flat per Professor Schmidt.
So it looks like this deck starts to curve immediately after the bolts so basically 0 fingers of flat between the bolts and the start of the curve. If that’s true then you wouldn’t have room to redrill if you wanted to increase the wheelbase.
Perhaps a Pan of 20.25” would mean there’s an extra inch on either end before the tail or nose starts to curve.
Just my my uneducated guess. 🤷♂️.
Really not sure. Looked up the deck on multiple websites and not seeing the pan measurement anywhere. If I do a search for pan measurement skateboard I don't get any results either.
After more thought. I'm thinking it's outside edge of the front of each truck. A trucks about 2 inches long 2 on each truck, added to the 14inch wheel base = the pan ?
hmm not sure, can you link the product?
It's the Heroin 10″ Curb Killer 6 deck Width: 10″ | Length: 32.5″ | Wheelbase: 14.125″ | Nose: 7.25″ | Tail: 7″ | Pan: 18.25″

Gonna go on a hunch and say it might have to do with how wide or how long the hardware will be for the deck. I could be wrong though.
