There's a few people here who are really into this shape. Let's celebrate it, dissect it. Post 'em up. Set up shots, action shots, new graphic shots... Huffers and Phawts, let's see 'em!

Got 2 Phawts on ice from the Crail mystery box a few weeks ago. Gonna be awhile before I get around to setting them up though. Already have two boards and a 9.125" Madness deck set up and ready to go.

Let's seem them in Action also.

man I almost bought one today. holding out for the upcoming transportation unit drop and the super tanker shape.

Two phawts in the last year, 3 more in ice. I usually chems tool the tail for 7" tail, leaves 14.375 wb. Need to try the huffer.

Just rewatched that part today. So so sick. The Bellingham part is the shit.
When this stuff hit I instantly got a few of the white huffers. Tried 159s, 169s, and 151 hollows. Thunders were the winner. Ultimately I think I got a little self conscious of the shaped board. My loss. It is the, by far, most functional shaped board I’ve tried. Which makes little sense to me as it’s long, I’m short.
I’d be interested in the phawt, but the bbs huffer felt indestructible/lasted for so long. The combination of the good wood, and then large shape with concave and yeah, held it’s pop.
Dope thread. Wood.

You guys don’t mind the little nose?
-
I've been wanting one of these but can any of the Huffer/Phawt riders in this thread recommend what size trucks work best on these. I've got 159 and 169 Indy's on hand. I'm curious what you guys run on them.

I've got Ace AF1 66s on mine so ~9" axle and that feels pretty good. I think 169s would end up being slightly too wide.

I have 159s on my Huffer. They fit really nicely with some 56mm F4 classics and those wooden Real 1/8" risers. Makes for a very fun setup.
It's probably my imagination, but I really prefer the feel of the 159s over my 169s. Couldn't really be more specific really, but the 8.75" axle fits the Huffer so well IMO.
-
More power to you if you can skate 14.75 wheelbase!
-
Yeah the wheelbase on this makes it a no go for me. Holy hell that safety vest graphic is absolutely amazing tho.

Yeah, the 159s are it. I have 54 mm Keyframes/no risers, and it handles like a dream. Definitely my favorite crustbuster setup. Really fun and versatile.
-

That depends on what you mean by "skate" lol

I'd go 159. 9" trucks seem to be about the max. This shape skates more like an 8.75" IMO, so 8.75"axle trucks feel pretty good.
-

Yeah, something about this shape where the 14.75" does not feel overwhelming to me. Same with the shorter nose. All the dimensions just feels really well balanced. I often wondered how it would be with a shorter wheelbase like @Sonny Paluso drilled but I really don't want to mess with it.
-
As I get ever closer to 50, the gluttony and just…idiocy of having multiple setups…fuck.
I tend to ride boards most optimized for what I try and do on a board: go slow, flip.
But if I’m thinking about riding one board, for everything: distance, transition, all of it, well the huffer was way better than I would have thought. If I was going on some skateboard camping trip, it’d be the move. Going fast is hard for me, but bombing hills with the longer wb is really helpful. Something about that particular shape was versatile, for me.
Maybe an 8.25 with a 14.75 would be better, for me, dunno.
-
I've thought about committing to the Huffer for a full year for that reason. I still have a couple of smaller decks to get through though. But yeah, a Huffer with Ace 60s with different F4 tyres for different occasions would do me.
-

Cult of Cardiel over here
Running 159s on the yellow one and 169s on the black one. I had 149s on the yellow one with cruiser wheels and that was super fun too.

For me it might be 151s, but yeah, risers and 56s for distance, no risers 52s for the parking lot. I’m not going to pretend that my tre flips don’t go to dog feces with a larger wb, they ain’t good, but dropping in an not only thinking about dying is pretty nice (meaning trade offs with all setups).

I am down for this thread.
The funny thing is the one I have I got on a whim a long time ago, sat on it for a while, someone else wanted something "weird and unique" to skate so he skated it for a while too, then it came back and I skated it for a while, now set up with older 159s and some 60mm 90 duro cruiser wheels with deep wheel wells I cut into it and still charging.
The one thing I feel with this board is it doesn't skate like a bigger board for me, but skates like a more normal board in a fun shape. Some of the other smaller boards actually feel more boat like than this one does, even though they are smaller all round. Funny how that works.
This is the only pic I have of it from a while back, but I also have another one in a newer graphic on the wall too.

I got this:
(https://i.ibb.co/YtBmHjR/20220410-091217.jpg)
And it's been real fun to skate! I got Ace 66s and Spitfire Classic 54mm lifted with some lil risers I made, and I'm skurfin the streets.
If flip tricks are a must, alledgedly sizing down on the trucks and having wide wheels help that flick. Idk I just suffer either way. Noseslides don't feel any different either.
I highly recommend this shape.

That’s nearly identical to mine but I’ve got 53mm classics and no risers. I’m going to try some 55mm radials with it I think

I stared at that black Cardiel Huffer at my shop yesterday for 10 minutes because of this thread. Looks great but the WB makes me nervous
-
Huffer vs phawt opinions?
I got the huffer because Cory Stan. So maybe phawt is the one, but I have a pretty found memory of the way the wood felt on the huffers (my current go to board is a griffin board, and it skated way better than it feels. Meaning it sounds/feels sorta dead, but I land more stuff on it, soooo).
What @Mbrimson88 said re: the board rides smaller than its size. Normally, for me, a wb like that and I’m pretty ground bound, not gonna nollie flip etc. not claiming they look great (they never do, it’s not the equipment), but in my experience if you can do a trick, you can do it on this shape.
I had the black widow, hoping it was a huffer that I could just skate with 8.5 trucks. Fuck I could not skate that thing. In hindsight, I was also skating 5.8 ventures for the first time, and just didn’t chill and skate it for long enough. Truthfully anything will work. I spend too much time bothering ya’ll on this forum, but a skateboard is a skateboard (I just watched some video where Pedro Barros was being thankful for having regular griptape, as in made for skateboards griptape…definitely reminded me of what a privileged kook I am).

You absolutely must get it dude, they are perfect. It took me for ever to find and to save everyone else the headache of trying to find it, I screen capped it for all my pals.

Also, here’s the last huffer I had set up, I be got two more on ice though!

Huffer vs phawt opinions?
The Phawt is slightly more straight outline and not as 'football.'
Here's the breakdowns I have in detail:
Huffer
Length 32.5" with tape pulled, 32 3/4" with tape flat.
WB 14.75" on the money.
Tail: 6.75" (maybe a smidge shorter)
Nose: 6 7/8" (maybe the tiniest bit longer but def under 7")
Width at front holes of front truck: 8 5/8"
Width at back holes of front truck: 8 7/8"
Width at widest point: 9 1/8"
Width at front holes of back truck 9" (maybe a tad narrower)
Width at back holes of back truck 8 3/4" (maybe a pubic hair width shorter)
Phawt
Length 32.5" with tape pulled, 33 with tape flat.
WB 14.75" also on the money.
Tail: 6.75"
Nose: 7" (maybe the tiniest bit under 7")
Width at front holes of front truck: 8 5/8"
Width at back holes of front truck: 8 7/8"
Width at widest point: 9 1/8" (maybe a tad thinner)
Width at front holes of back truck 8 3/4"
Width at back holes of back truck 8 5/8"
All in all I'd say the Huffer has slightly better dimensions, shape and concave. Phawt has a squarer nose and tail, less overall taper and football/ egg type shape. Huffer has the unique feature of being wider toward the tail which I find great for smithgrnds. Phawt is still fun and you can often find them for cheap.
Also, this thread is coming along great. Keep 'em coming.

Cardiel obviously gets nearly al of the Huffer graphics, does anyone know if he ever rode the shape pre-accident? Maybe it’s just his go-to now?
-
I saw Ronnie Sandoval riding what looked like a huffer but with the gonz sweatpants graphic on it at the PStone cup. Anyone know if I’m just tripping or if that really was the huffer shape? It didn’t look like the regular gonz swepants shape
-
Damn I hope you're right.

It is easy to confuse it as they are both similar shapes, but the Black Widow was from 2019 along with some other shaped boards and fun things pre pandemic shortages and issues.
Actually a pretty good catalog all round:

Those things were so damn big, but also quite fun (to a point).
One guy I know had one on 215s and for once those trucks actually looked normal on that board, compared to always looking a little big on many other boards.
The green giant is much more "big board normal" if there is such a thing, as well as still being made and available in shops, so if you were after something like that, the green giant might be easier to get hold of, as well as fun for everything.

I used to be in the same boat as you, only skated up to 14.5 until I got the Huffer. Someone in the egg thread posted that for some reason the wb just works and I can definitely agree with that. Huffer on 159s feels like the best of both worlds to me, it feels slim enough to flip but wide enough to feel comfortable on transition and during grinds. Not trying to shill for Antihero but if you got the money laying around I could definitely recommend you to try one even if the long wheelbase seems clunky.

169s and 52mm classic f4s

For real. The growing hype around this board has me itching to get one. I have about 30 boards to go through first though. :-X
The dimensions sound good to me as it is. Not a fan of the graphics on any of them, maybe that’s why I haven’t had one yet. :)

Always full of helpful information, brimerino! I usually have a jumbo setup with 10” trucks in the quiver, so an ol’ Yeller would fit in. I’ve got 3-4 boards in the queue that are the same flavor profile as the green giant, and fully agree with your assessment of “big… fun for everything” - or at least fun for my thing.

The Baker Creation was almost kind of a couch/loveseat thing with a super short WB and kind of eggy. The Brown Bomber was more like a Polar Surf but with straighter rails.

is the AH black widow a mini version of the huffer in terms of board shape?
? Black Label Black Widow? Widow is 9.25, 14.75WB, Rueter and Adams eggs are slightly smaller huffers - huffettes, as it were.
It is easy to confuse it as they are both similar shapes, but the Black Widow was from 2019 along with some other shaped boards and fun things pre pandemic shortages and issues.
Actually a pretty good catalog all round:

This one and yes it looks quite like it, as said in a scaled down version.

I miss the Brown Bomber. Not to derail things but that was my gateway to the the early 90s shapes that I prefer now.
is the brown bomber the same shape as that the baker creation deck had?
The Baker Creation was almost kind of a couch/loveseat thing with a super short WB and kind of eggy. The Brown Bomber was more like a Polar Surf but with straighter rails.
ahh i definitely see it now, ty!

Ah. I see. Now I want an Ol’ Yeller.
Those things were so damn big, but also quite fun (to a point).
One guy I know had one on 215s and for once those trucks actually looked normal on that board, compared to always looking a little big on many other boards.
The green giant is much more "big board normal" if there is such a thing, as well as still being made and available in shops, so if you were after something like that, the green giant might be easier to get hold of, as well as fun for everything.
I've got an ol' yeller for a cruiser. ACE 66 classics, acid soft wheels, and a rail. Its a weird, weird board to ride. Super easy slappy set up though. I traded for the deck thinking it was a beach bum

This is why I love/hate slap. This hype train has me thinking about stopping by the shop for the one I was fondling on Friday when what I really want to do is wait for the Transportation Unit drop this week and get a couple of Supertanker shapes.
For real. The growing hype around this board has me itching to get one. I have about 30 boards to go through first though. :-X
The dimensions sound good to me as it is. Not a fan of the graphics on any of them, maybe that’s why I haven’t had one yet. :)
Classic eagle huffer.
I know ppl will think this is a blasphemy but I’m not a fan of the classic eagle graphic either. Currently skating a Blue Meanie which has the classic eagle also and while I love the board otherwise, the classic eagle is giving me some weird vibes. I have a few of these unskated and am trying to come up with what to cover the graphics with. :-X
I’d rather get any of the other Huffer graphics actually. They’re not my thing but then again I’ve skated a whole bunch of Anti Hero boards with terrible graphics. But we’ll see when I’m gonna give in and get one. A good graphic would tilt it to the Huffer’s favor much more. :)

I don't totally agree with this take because I love the classic eagle and the Cardiel Mezcalero graphic I'm riding right now, but I've definitely been disappointed with some of the AH art direction the past couple of years. A lot of it has been very cartoon-y which just doesn't do it for me.

No love for the Gerwer egg? It seems pretty similar to the Huffer, just a bit smaller in both width and wheelbase. This is really my first egg so I can't really compare it to anything else but the shape is dope as fuck.

Getting a little rowdy in here: this the huffer thread. Whomever posted those two Cory vids can fuck right off. I was too gassed up, wanted the whole kit. He was on such a tear.
-
So right now my huffer is set up with Ace AF1 66s and I'm just not enjoying the trucks that much. I think I may swap those AF1s over to the Blue meanie to make a bit of a monster truck set up, and put my Indy forged hollow 149s on the huffer. I know that's probably a little narrow for the huffer, but will be fun to switch it up.
I also have some 55mm Oski Radials on the way to throw on because the classics I'm riding are pretty beat.
Will post some pics and update later.

I've been skating an Orange Eagle that I first set up last summer and this time around it's really working for me. Actually landing more flip tricks like bs flips and half cab flips because I feel more comfortable with all this room to land on. It definitely still feels a bit cumbersome at times though. All of this is to say, I think the Huffer would be perfect for me. Still lots of room but just a little more agile. Good thread!

Am I the only one who prefers 149s on the huffer? Thunders specifically

I was of the initial opinion that this is how CK rode it, and as a Stan, was gonna go this route…I rode mine with 151s. When I get another one, I’m not sure if I’m going to buy another set of 151s, or go with the ace 55 classics I have…
@chris. What trucks? For some reason I feel like you said you were taller…I’m short, and currently riding a 14.5 wb, and I’m into it. I skate a lot faster (so like 2 mellow pushes instead of a 1/2 push, it’s bad, but it’s an improvement), on the bigger board. The orange eagle looks so fucking sick. Way too long for me, but looks really dope. Plus, maybe I’m totally cooked here, but I swear the orange eagle was on an 8ish (maybe just an 8”) shape in the early early 2000s. I had one, and although I always stubbornly insisted on skating a 7.5, with 50s, I’d get wasted and skate better on the bigger board (not because intoxicated, because it had wheels large enough to roll down the street). Aaaaanyways
I’m going to go watch those ck vids again and again

Huffer feels tiny compared to the orange eagle. Orange eagle is fucking heavy.

Not a huffer, but the Reuter egg is an exactly scaled down version of the huffer. There are a lot of Elijah Ackerly absolutely killing it with the Reuter egg in this part.

No doubt, but it should be a good middle ground between the 8.5s I was riding. Pulled out my 8.5 flat DOA the board under my feet made it feel like 2002 again. It was really wild.
@ok Ace 55 Classics. Yeah I'm tall, 6'5" and all limbs. I'm with you on the speed. I was skating curbs recently and did some fs slappys at what was no doubt the fastest speed at which I have ever done a trick. Very cool feeling.
Also used to actively dislike the AH eagle even when I had a Blue Meanie a few years back and when I bought my current one. Now its kinda all I want to see when I flip my board over.
-
Am I the only one who prefers 149s on the huffer? Thunders specifically
You are tempting me to try some smaller trucks but honestly think 8.75" axles are the sweet spot for the Huffer. I like it with Classic 55s/ Af1 66s also.
I'm really hoping the new Ace 60s are going to be the best truck for the Huffer's shape and wheelbase.
-
Am I the only one who prefers 149s on the huffer? Thunders specifically
No, I agree. The beauty of the shaped boards for me is that you can use 149's but still feel like you have a big ole board, and it's not weird at all.
-
Am I the only one who prefers 149s on the huffer? Thunders specifically
Having just dropped down from 9” axle trucks (Ace AF1 66) to 8.5” axle trucks (Indy 149), it is absolutely better. Having so much more fun.

Been riding an 8.4" (14.25" wb) AH Cardiel popsicle for the last couple of weeks and it is offering me absolutely no advantage over the Huffer. In fact my kick flips have gone to complete shit. Jumped on a Huffer today and landed a decent kick flip first try. Moral of the story... you can't just leave the Cult of the Huffer....
Unfortunately, I am idiot and will likely continue to torture myself until this 8.4 is dead...

Not that anyone should do this, and only because I’m super annoying…buuuuuuut …the brophy shape is 8.6x14.75x32.56 (I think). The key dimensions being length and wb. I wonder if the long wb is the key? Been skating a 14.5ish wb and it’s been the best flippery of the past few years.
But brophy.
I think part of the magic of the huffer is in the shape/concave. It still wants to flip and spin.
I also like to torture myself with bullshit (stuff that doesn’t work for me).

I'm still trying to lock in my kickflips on the huffer, maybe 1 out of every 3 I get a good flick on. Coming from Hockey/FA/Polar P2 decks with big shovel noses, that flick point is definitely an adjustment but everything else is so damn fun on the huffer.

This thread has got me really keen, I'm about pull the trigger and purchase one and sit it on ice until my Heroin egg is dust. Only thing that has me a little worried it the wheel base as I never ride anything over 14.5. Currently on a 9.125 x 32.25 x 14.5 heroin egg. Can anyone give me an insight on how the extra length feels?

If you’re already on 14.5 you will barely notice it. It’s more so when you jump up or down a half inch or more that it really becomes noticeable
-
It's getting to the point that we need an automated response bot for all the people wondering about the wheelbase. As many have said, for some reason the dimensions work really well together, this is coming from someone who refused to skate anything bigger than 14.5.
The shape makes it feel way more nimble as the dimensions might make it seem. Out of my 3 current setups, a 9 inch square tail Zane Timpson and a 10 inch Heroin Mutant this one is definitely the easiest to do flip tricks on while still giving you the advantage of riding a wider board.
-
sweet cheers for the feedback, just ordered.
Usually wouldn't ask but a wheel base at that length had me a little worried.
Probably just me being anal about it as never go over 14.5

No problem, everyone seems to worry about the wheelbase at first, I used to be in the same boat. Someone told me to just go for it and then I bought a second one on the spot the first time I rode it. I still like to mix it up with some other shapes but as far as functionality goes, the Huffer seems like the best allround shape.

Amazing how it works. I wonder if it's because the longer tail offsets the wheelbase, along with he tail shape being conducive to flips? I don't know but the Huffer flips better for me than most any other board I have had in recent memory. Could just be b/c I am 6', 200 lbs with size 12 feet. Many I was making life unnecessarily difficult trying to skate smaller boards... Gall Bless CK1 and Cardiel.

I have both set up right now and I agree. The huffer is a much better, do it all shape. skates like a much smaller board. The blue meanie is a fun deck but its more of a cruiser. Very long and not super responsive.

I had a lot of fun with the Blue Meanie and my expectations were actually sort of low for the huffer. Thought it would just be a fun shape I pulled out at certain sessions. Now it's my main board, I don't even really pull out my popsicle anymore. Huffer is a fun, shaped deck but it also has some magic that makes it skate like a smaller board.

I had one a few years ago on ace 55s and my buddy said I was doing my best skateboarding in years on it. I just ordered one of those cheap girl boards, hopefully it works out.

I personally think ventures would work well with that shape, ideally If the trucks are 8.75” (6.1 in venture nomenclature).

This board and a Sandoval zero board are the only two boards I’ve ever not liked.
I have the blue cardiel eagle still in plastic. I don’t like that the nose is narrower that the tail. Something about it feels wrong to me. I’ve thought about riding it backwards but my ocd won’t let me
The Sandoval was a popsicle that got fatter in the back and took me a minute to realize why it felt off. I gave it away after a session
Both boards felt weird under my feet. This AH deck has been sold for a few years now so other people must like it

I have the same one on ice. Kind of been more of a Dane1 than a Huffer these days, but I know I am going to want to have one again at some point.
I've owned 5 Huffers and all of them have had light green tops. Convinced me for a bit that it was all that is out there, but seeing these other ones gives me hope that I may get an orange, brown, or red.

Got the same Curbageddon Huffer, one almost done and 2 on ice. Got them in a turquoise, yellow and dark green top ply so there definitely are different ply combinations out there, but I've personally never seen a BBS red ply top before.

Just set up that same one. Only got 15 minutes on it but I like it. Wasn't feeling great when I skated it (had a stomach bug start to kick my ass just a couple hours later) but I snapped a kickflip that felt great with it.
Not only was I feeling guilty about CCS, I accidentally had those fuckers grip the board. Might be the first time since my literal first board that I didn't do the grip. Feels icky, but the shape seems to be everything I was hoping for.

Got the same Curbageddon Huffer, one almost done and 2 on ice. Got them in a turquoise, yellow and dark green top ply so there definitely are different ply combinations out there, but I've personally never seen a BBS red ply top before.
Now that you mention it, neither have I.
Re red top ply on BBS - thankfully there have not been that many. I had a couple of the AH black eagle 8.12 decks a long time ago and had seen a couple more around that same time in other graphics, then maybe a run of a certain Polar board had red top and bottom, but all up I don't think it has been a colour that is often used for tops, more for the middle "indicator" layer in Element and a few other brands.
There have been a whole lot more variations on colours more recently though, which is pretty cool to see, but the old traditional yellow, light green, mid and dark blue, orange and a few others are the most common. Teal and mauve / pale purple has also been one I have seen a lot more of, as well as brown, charcoal, grey, pink...
* Almost forgot to say, been riding the Huffer I have as a cruiser for a few "family adventures" recently and it certainly holds up for a board I can just roll around the streets on as well as do a few laps of skateparks too, the 60 mm 90 duro wheels are good for everything on it, without trying too hard to actually do any normal skating.

I’m sure I’ve had a polar red top (my memory is burnt, but I’m pretty sure, it was from early on when the graphics were especially nice), wasn’t mad at the red at all.
Pretty sure both my huffers were natural brown looking top ply

This board and a Sandoval zero board are the only two boards I’ve ever not liked.
I have the blue cardiel eagle still in plastic. I don’t like that the nose is narrower that the tail. Something about it feels wrong to me. I’ve thought about riding it backwards but my ocd won’t let me
The Sandoval was a popsicle that got fatter in the back and took me a minute to realize why it felt off. I gave it away after a session
Both boards felt weird under my feet. This AH deck has been sold for a few years now so other people must like it
I remember you having a legendary quiver. If I remember it’s a bunch of nice boards on 169s
Yeah the majority are 169s, something about a big board that feels dope

I apologize for being critical, I will do better and I will be better.

Re-drilling the Huffer is admitting the shape isn't perfect which is absolute heresy. Accept the long wheelbase and the wheelbase will accept you. We should keep our standards high or else it will spiral down to a stage where people are cutting their Huffers down to 8" popsicles.

where does it stop? next you'll be commanding what trucks (brand/size), wheels (brand/size/duro/shape), bushings, risers, rails, bearings, axle nuts we need to use in order to maintain the purest form of the Huffer

How much did you guys drill down, was it the same as the six hole plate at 3/8" or more than that?

I used the wheelbase jig that was posted on the forum a while back. I can’t remember the name but I bought the one with 3/8 spaced holes. Well worth the money.

Someone's got to go big mode and re-drill it to an even bigger wheelbase like this.

I just used the Indy 159 six-hole baseplate and slid everything down one slot, and then used the baseplate as the guide to drill... that's about as technical as I can explain it. a real saint of a man advised me to be sure not to put the hardware in the closest holes to the nose, or else you'll just bash em loose on every nose/tailslide.

Anyone who can do tricks with the smooth jazz stylings of @144p can do whatever they want, in my opinion. I love huffer as the gods made it, but I can also only do 3 tricks. Who’s to say I’m right and he’s wrong? Not me!

If re-drilling means I can also do a tailblunt then I might have to embrace life as a heathen.

The more I think about it, the more I agree with the re-drillers.
We folks that run it stock get the most out of the shape we can. It’s consistent, 0 work for us.
The re-drillers are truly in it for the love of the game and the shape. Not to mention all of them fucking rip.
Especially after seeing 144p absolutely demolish shit.
I do have a tragic to report though… after a session and a half, this happened last night.

Yes, the six hole baseplate works well for that.
I often tell people that is the easiest way to redrill boards and I guess I have a lot of them around, but some people say they don't have any with all the new trucks in smaller sizes or forged plates in the bigger Indy trucks.
https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/makeboarderproducts/
At first I didn't realise what the orange things were - risers or drill your own, then saw the first post under makeplates tag and it all made sense. I guess that works more so for those who do their own from scratch, but could still be used on any other board too.

Been seeing some people say 8.5" axels are whats up. Am I reading that wrong? Was recently lucky to start skating a Huffer. I got some 151 thunders on it right now and its fun.
Two things I've noticed skating it for what is a very small amount of time. For reference I am coming from the 8.75 Alien shape thats 32.25 long and a 14.25 WB.
Pop on it is inconsistent. Maybe i need to get use to it. there are times I feel like i can pop ollies, kickflips super solid, but everything else is kind of dog shit. Like worse than it was before. Even the ollies and kickflips can feel like dog shit. 180s been suffering. actually the most concerning part is just the timing of the pop.
I feel like I need to give myself some time to get use to the shape. However, I am considering buying some indys or aces. Really conflicted on what axel length to go for. With the 8.75 Alien, the truck length felt nice!
-
Personal preference of course but I like 8.75" or 9" Aces on mine. I am a fan of 151s but Thunders are a bit tough on the Huffer with the wheelbase. You could re-drill of course. But I'd recommend 159s or Ace Af1 60s....
I've been rotating between a Huffer and other smaller decks and my pop is way better on the Huffer. Even my kick flips. But I am a middle aged chunky bloke so take that for what it's worth. I think @144p hit the nail on the head and said its all about the long tail. It just works really well for some of us.
-
I have had a few different trucks on mine, currently now with an older set of 159s and soft cruiser wheels, which work well.
The 149 / 8.5 truck width felt a little too narrow, except with wider cruiser wheels, but the 8.75 width trucks fit perfectly for normal skating on the Huffer for me.
The normal height Ace 60 (8.75) would be perfect I think, if you are more into having something other than Indy (and in stock to use that voucher).
Frank and Fred has it right with that one!
-
151s worked best for me.
I do believe that the shape has some magical qualities in that it is really fun and functional, despite being much larger than what I’d normally use. But. It’s still a really big board
-
I prefer 149s, but that is mainly because I skate bigger (56mm-60mm) conical wheels. Back when I skated smaller wheels, 159s were my go-to. One of the cool things about the shape is that you can make it work with several truck sizes.
-
Interesting logic, in my experience if my trucks are a little small for the board I find I get way more wheelbite as the wheels hit where the concave is less pronounced.
-
Interesting logic, in my experience if my trucks are a little small for the board I find I get way more wheelbite as the wheels hit where the concave is less pronounced.
The outer edges wider wheels on the 149s sit at pretty much the same spot for me as the smaller wheels on the 159s did. I also run 1/8" risers on everything (even with small wheels) so I don't think about wheelbite much.
I just prefer 149s and will try to make them work with whatever. Skating them on my Dane 1 right now and they look normal to me.
-
I also subscribe to bigger wheels, narrower trucks: I felt like I could tip (turn) further, before the wheels touched the deck. I also thought that was why the pinch lords (Foy for example), setup the wider than deck width trucks, for the pinch (aka desirable wheelbite).
Some of the pnw rippers were riding 8.5 trucks on the love seat, that made sense, also you don’t need a whole set of something else and the adjustment period (these were guys that skated 8.5 boards but were just stepping it up for a change of pace on that shape, before going back to the regular).
I didn’t try 8.5s on the huffer, probably should have. 8.75 was better, for me, than 9. Take that with a grain of salt cuz I’m into matching the back truck truck width to the deck. And I do this because despite having been around skateboards almost my entire life, I am apt to jump on a board, attempt to push, and slam after kicking my own back wheel. Stay humble.

I initially set mine up with Ace AF1 66s and it wasn’t working for me at all. I switched to some Indy 149s and that really seemed to unlock it for me. The Indy’s are forged hollows so the weight made a huge difference, and the narrower truck just made it a lot more responsive. Started to feel more like a regular board I could pull out for anything rather than a park/curb board.

This makes perfect sense, for the same turning angle on the same brand truck, you get wheelbite on a wider truck more than a more narrow one. It's the same physics as a see-saw or how truck height, offset and tail length relate to each other.
Personally I also downsize wheels when I upgrade to wider trucks, roughly 1-2mm in wheel size for every 1/4" in truck width. Otherwise I'd have to use risers or get taller trucks.

I've skated my previous Huffer for about 3 months until the tail was way too razored. I set this one up only about a week ago, I think that I've skated it around 5 times now. I don't skate stairs often but today I landed on the outer edge of my nose which caused it to snap. Did manage to land the ollie after the top ply snapped and it was still kinda hanging on so at least it got to go out with honor.
I went from 3 Huffers to only 1 on ice in a week, but luckily I can finally get through my stack of other decks that still need to be skated.

I went from 3 Huffers to only 1 on ice in a week, but luckily I can finally get through my stack of other decks that still need to be skated.
Righteous break or nah?
(I’ve broken few boards, some were just me landing in such a way that the board was gonna be done no matter what, some where just a bad board, shit happens.)
I ask, because there’s been a few broken huffers, and I cannot imagine breaking one, mine were indestructible

RIP
How long did you skate it for?
I've skated my previous Huffer for about 3 months until the tail was way too razored. I set this one up only about a week ago, I think that I've skated it around 5 times now. I don't skate stairs often but today I landed on the outer edge of my nose which caused it to snap. Did manage to land the ollie after the top ply snapped and it was still kinda hanging on so at least it got to go out with honor.

Yeah, I landed in the exact same position you'd be in if you wanted to focus the nose. Any deck would've snapped under that kinda pressure and I absolutely blame my own lack of skating stairs for it.
Gonna skate my other decks for a while now so I get to rediscover the magic of the Huffer in about a month or 2.

I have it! Not really a Huffer but very similar to it, it's a bit less wider 9.125 compared to the 9.18 of the Huffer and with a smaller wheelbase 14.5 compared the 14.75 of the Huffer

Can anyone measure the full specs? I still haven’t bought one. :-X I’m mainly wondering about tail and nose lengths. Overall length on the new catalog is listed as 31.7” which seems worryingly short.

I’ve got to assume that’s a mistake. I think it’s more like 32 5/8 tip-to-tip. It definitely doesn’t feel short.

It’s definitely not short. I have a blue meanie set up as well and the huffer feels nearly as long. I’ll try to get some measurements later
Edit: I just took some rough measurements and nose to tail I measured nearly 32-1/2". If i pressed the tape into the concave, it's nearly 33". Tail was around 6-3/4" and Nose was 7". Again, these aren't exact measurements but definitely not under 32" overall length.
The huffer as a shape just seems to work, it does not feel as big/long as it is. Definitely worth trying in my opinion, I pull mine out all the time.

I broke down the specs of the Huffer and Phawt earlier on in this thread but here are the Huffer ones again...
Huffer
Length 32.5" with tape pulled, 32 3/4" with tape flat.
WB 14.75" on the money.
Tail: 6.75" (maybe a smidge shorter)
Nose: 6 7/8" (maybe the tiniest bit longer but def under 7")
Width at front holes of front truck: 8 5/8"
Width at back holes of front truck: 8 7/8"
Width at widest point: 9 1/8"
Width at front holes of back truck 9" (maybe a tad narrower)

The huffer is way more skateable than the Blue Meanie for me. The Blue Meanie has been relegated to cruiser status, it's just too big/unwieldy for me to pull out for a sesh. The Huffer is a lot more fun and usable in more situations.

I must have missed or forgotten those specs being posted. The Blue Meanie definitely took quite a bit of effort to pop. The Huffer being similar dimensions but more nimble and easy sounds awesome. I can hardly resist anymore even though I’m not even able to skate right now due to being injured. :D
Also good looks on the cute action shots @Francis Xavier & @Frank and Fred

-

No, I don't think so. I have set ups for both, and even though the Blue Meanie is technically not as wide as huffer, it *feels* like a much bigger board. Somehow, the huffer skates a lot closer to a popsicle and feels like a much smaller board. The Blue Meanie is like rolling around on a coffin. That's just my experience, but the huffer seems to have some magic to it that the blue meanie doesn't.
-

The blue meanie is a bigger version of the raney shape and the Ronnie Sandoval krooked shape.
The closest thing to a smaller huffer is the Black Label Reuter egg. Which is tied for my second favorite shape.

whats everyone's favorite trucks on their huffers? I've been running ace classic 55s on mine mainly as a cruiser setup but I took it for a spin doing some flatground and it honestly flipped really well despite the size and weight. No risers either.

I initially set mine up wth Ace AF1 66s and they were way too wide. I swapped for Indy 149s and that's been the sweet spot for me. I think 8.5"-8.75" axle trucks are perfect for huffer.
-
In order of preference:
Ace AF1 60s
Ace Classic 55s
Ace AF1 66s
Thunder 151
Indy 159
Venture 6.1
Would like to try Thunder 161s but I'm too far along my Ace journey right now and trying to chill on equipment experimentation.
-
Thunder 151 hollows for me.
I assume I’d enjoy ace classic 55s.
-
Huffer will be my next board for sure. Should be perfect for the type of skating I do which is mostly transition nowadays. I liked the blue meanie I had before but I'd like more width than it has. Should I go with Af1 66s or 60s?

It released today, on the website it is 9.125x32 and the website photo makes it look more like a 9.125" symmetrical flyer. So unless the info and pic are wrong, it's huffer-like but not exactly.

Sick looking boards but @bryan was right, not Huffers.
BA's really did look like one, as I swear it had the tell-tale width over the back truck, which is the defining characteristic of the huffer.

The deck is ~8.75” at the trucks, so either one would work. I ride mostly transition and I use Indy 169s without any issues.
I’ve tried it with Indy 149s, 159s, 169s, and Ace classic 55/AF1 66. They all work fine, it’s all preference.

Ok, that sounds perfect. I recently had an 8.8 popsicle with Ace 55 classics and it felt good.

You'll dig it with Classic 55s for sure. They liven up the 14.75 WB nicely.

I am devoted to the Loveseat because of that tiny ass wheelbase, but am curious about The Huffer; how do you homies flip a 14.75” wb tho? So brutal. I’ve got a Frog with 15” and it’s a real chore to flip that thing around so I don’t really need another tank….
-
@mattchew Didn’t think I’d be able to on thunders as I’m typically a WB snob. It still works somehow. Tres can scrape due to the length.
My knee has been fucked so I haven’t been able to skate like I use to, but I’ve been able to pop some proper heels and kickflips.

I’m pretty sure it’s a huffer: it used to really grind my gears: girl, a company started by the youth to be youthful and be their own boss’, took fooooooorever to realize that their best pro was making a board from a different company cool/desirable. It took girl so long to make the phawt. Maybe it was out of consideration to dlx, maybe it was those dudes being super asleep at the wheel. Like if you look how long it took Carroll to go from h-street to plan b to girl**? Those dudes seem like they should be able to remember what it felt like to deal with the old slow moving companies. Or something.
**tbh I was in and out of paying attention to skating in the early 90s, and really started paying more attention in I think 1994, when girl was already going, so I’m not sure about Carroll’s sponsors, my feeble point was that shit changed so fast during that time, and the same dudes that were responsible for changing it, would still be giving us the same out to lunch zumiez cw’s if other people hadn’t come in (Pontus, palace, fa, etc) and forced them to switch it up a bit.
Why am I ranting.
-
CK Huffer footage is really what sold me on the shape in the fist place. I was stoked to try a Phawt. The first one I had, had a great shape but was on the older shittier wood. I am currently on a Phawt and the wood is pretty amazing. However, the shape is not as a good as Huffer and the concave is a tad too steep for my taste. Not a Huffer but a very close back up.

I am taller and don't really do too much on it, so it is not a problem, but a couple of pages back, a few Pals had redrilled the nose in about 3/8" (using the six hole baseplate it works perfectly) and found that it was a whole lot easier for them to skate, so there is that option too. It makes the nose a more conventional nose to tail ratio as well, not that I couldn't nose slide on my Huffer easily enough.
That would be one way to enjoy it a bit more if you wanted to get one.
-
I was just out skating curbs and flatgounrd on my couch and I swear my flip tricks were terrible. Then when I jump back on the Hiuffer, they come back. I can't explain it. I have enjoyed the smaller wheelbase trend to an extent and I did relearn some flips but then I take to them to the Huffer and its even better.
Why or why do I mess with non-Huffer shapes? Please stop me.
I have two more unskated decks in my pile, an 8.4 Grimple and 9" Love seat, after that I think its Huffer commitment...

Don't we all have to try something different from time to time, if for nothing more than to justify that what you really do want to skate is the best option for you?
It sure is fun trying all these different boards that come through my hands, but when I am on my usual setup, things just work and that is what makes me happy.
The Black Label snake Jake boards were on a really good sale, so I got a couple and yes they are like a little brother of the Huffer, but the Huffer is still such a good ride in itself.
-
Someone on here, forgive me, referenced Jahmal Williams, yes the, saying something about longer wb’s make for better kickflips. There is something to this. I’ve cooled out (for now) on the extreme ends of the spectrum and riding (and enjoying) some really ‘sensible’ board dimensions, but I’ve put a lot of time into tiny short boards, and big long wide boards. My regular kickflips are better on big long wide boards.
Also, this point has been made and I want to co-sign: the huffer has some magic/secret sauce to it. I’ve ridden some dlx boards, 8.38-8.6 that were 32.25-5 in length and for me, fucking sucked for most of the skating I do. The concave, shape, whatever, on the huffer, treflips waaaaay easier. Dunno why.
-
I always thought the tail shape and length was perfect for 360 flips, especially for my sloppy brand of old man one in ten tre.

I skated a few sub 14.25wb decks and only treflips and pop shoves felt quicker but everything else felt off. I can't do a proper kickflip or heelflip with a short deck. Also, when paired with trucks like Ace, short decks feel super heavy. I'm curious to try the Huffer shape and see if it will be the one.
-
What's your preferred wheel shape and size for Huffer? My trucks are Ace 55s (9"). I've been considering either F4 Conicals, CFs or OG classics in 54 or 55. Also, are the 97d spits worth checking or should I stick to 99d.

I’ve been riding the oski 55 radials and they seem to be really nice on Indy 149s. I would say give the og classics a shot? 54-55 does seem to be the sweet spot for an all terrain ride, not so big you can’t throw in a kickflip here or there

OG classics seem to be harder to find here. I found some Conical regulars that are 54 and 56mm on discount.

Huffers looks great with smaller more rounded wheels. But I tend to set mine up with 58mm Classics. I have a set I am about to give away that went from 58 to 52 on various Huffers, they just stayed good and looked even better as the contact patch widened. Classic Fulls in smaller sizes would work well.

No wheel beats a sale wheel. I run conicals on my street bird but 52mm. I’m sure they’re just as good in the bigger size

I went with the 56mm conicals. Should be a good setup for transition. :)

Had my first little warm up session with Huffer. Skated only flat but I have to say it feels so good to be back on longer wb, though this board doesn't make it feel too hefty. I was amazed how well this board kickflips, like the best I've felt. Gonna skate some transition this evening too!

Hell yeah. My kick flips have gone to total shit since I am making my way through a couple of non-Huffers i have in the pile.
Full Huffer commitment is coming to my life in about three decks time.
Fuck my skate life until then...

Skated at concrete park for an hour, mostly transition and a bit of curbs and flatbar. I had not touched transition in weeks but quickly got hang of things. I love how this deck feels so stable but still very nimble pretty much everywhere. Only thing I don't like are very low, quick and steep ramps due to that hefty wb. So far one my favorite decks ever. I didn't get any crazy wheelbite from using 56mm wheels but I'm still considering of using 1/8 risers from now on.

That is what I would be going with, a 14.5 fits better with the overall length too.
I feel like the stock pics show a pointy tail, but the actual pic looks a lot more Huffer / Black Label Jake / Snake shape, with a more rounded tail (which I would prefer) so I guess someone will get one and take some good pics for everyone else to drool over.

Thanks for the correct measurements Yourbreakfsat and yes F&F I think you will have to "test" one or two for us all.
Seems very close to the Huffer actually, but that is for you to tell us.

I could very easily be wrong, but I think it was more the throwback to the era and board shape above, around 1992 and that egg shaped in between board from the change over period when things went from fairly normal 1990-1991 square boards through to 1993-1994 rounded popsicle boards.
Someone posted his shifty ollie in the egg thread, so other stuff from that era is always rad to see.
This might be the best video to show the board shape, though I am sure there are others:

Thank you for this! Looks almost identical to the huffer. AH and Black Label are both BBS so it’s possible that that they are using the same mold

Any idea why this Cardiel is priced so high? Just a sign of decks (shaped in particular) getting more spendy?

My understanding is the huffer shape came post injury. I think cardiel in his prime was mostly riding like 7.5 or 7.6. I read somewhere once about cardiel talking up his love of Indy 129s. So he was mostly on tiny boards

You are correct, the shape is a 1992 throwback, the same year he was crowned SOTY

I know DLX boards in anything over 8.6 went up a while back, but the new boards out are even more again.
BBS has definitely upped the cost of wider boards, along with normal board prices which means everything in the 9+ variety is going to be more.
Looking at the Black Label store, which I would consider a pretty good indication of board prices, both the Elijah and Cardiel boards are $74.95 but the normal 8.5 popsicle shaped boards are still $64.95 with some of the older wider boards $69.95 or so.
https://blacklabelskates.bigcartel.com/category/decks
So Cal has 4th July sale at the moment, so only $67.96 with a regular price of $79.95

I’m committed to skating just 8s, but my goodness, that new Cardiel board…the graphic, shape, and proposed setup with 151s and lil smokies. Sounds like an awesome time.
-
149 or 159 with these best?
-
With Huffers? Cult members have successfully used everything from 8.5" axles to 9.125" axles.
My truck preferences with Huffers is as follows:
Ace AF1 60s
Ace Classic 55s
Af1 66s
Thunder 151
Indy 159
The Cardiel looks to be the slightest bit wider, so that might factor in. I'm tempted to set it up with 151s and some smallish Tablets/ Lil smokies...
-
I prefer 149s, but I am in the minority. For me, a slightly narrower truck helps it as an all around board, easier to flip. 8.75" axle may be the sweet spot though..
-
I bought the black label snuffer and plan to set it up with 159s.
Last huffer I set up with 169s but im hitting a groove with my 159s and I want to keep riding them.

Wow, this thread is awesome. I read through every page and just got my first Huffer yesterday. The only trucks I had to fit this were some Indy 159s, so I threw them on. I have Thunders on all of my normal boards, but I am thinking a set of 151s may kick the wheelbase out a little too far. Has anyone tried Royals on the Huffer yet? I've got a set of 144s. I'm thinking some 159s on this may be fun. Just wanted to see if anyone had any feedback for that combo yet. Thanks.

Indy 159s are perfect on the Huffer.

Really curious about how the Royal 159s pair if anyone has any experience with them on this board. I'm thinking they may really work for flip tricks but you can still get that surfy turn that works so well on this deck.

I've been thinking about pairing Ace 60s with my Huffer but I want to wear down these 66s first. This board is super fun.

I'm in love with the looks of the Huffer's shape.
But.... I need AH to make a Puffer, that is, a Huffer with smaller dims on the wheelbase, no bigger than 14.25.
14.75???? That's a goddamn longboard. Nice Sector-9 lookin' setups, everybody!
Calling DLX guy to the thread.
-
That would be the Brown Bobmer. Just shy of 9" with a 14.25" wheelbase. It actually has more of Phawt Shape than a Huffer. Rails aren't eggy enough and tail shape is wrong... but its close enough...
(https://res.cloudinary.com/dm1ikhi6x/image/upload/w_1200,c_limit/q_auto:low,f_auto/products/djzjczxhquxslefsb2qy)
In saying that, the beauty of the Huffer is, despite the long Wb and hefty width, there is something magical going on proportion wise, in that it skates like a much smaller board... ask any Cult of the Huffer adherent.
-
So I decided to change my af 66s to classic 55s and actually liked it way more now. I'm not saying I didn't like it with af1s but I prefer the classics with Huffer. They make the overall ride feel better for me. I also found that I liked the grind smoother too.

If you don't mind me asking, what specifically do you like about the classics? I was going to treat myself to a Xmas complete curb setup and was torn between classics and af1s.

I specifically enjoy how classics shrink wheelbase and that works well with longer decks, at least for me. Huffer having that 14.75" wb, classics make that deck feel very nimble. I also like the smoother grind because the hangers are softer metal than af1s. That also means it wears out faster. Classics are also slightly lighter. I haven't had any big issues with my classics except one kingpin loosening once but Ace covered that and sent me a new pair of trucks. I still believe af1s are the more quality truck out of these.

55 classics on the huffer is pretty godly imo. I don’t even have risers on mine with 58 mm wheels. Thing flips weirdly well too

I took the kingpin nut off and tightened it back just so that it wont come out so I keep my trucks pretty loose. I might try them without risers at some point. With af1s I couldn't do it because I I got wheelbite much easier.
Damn alright, I just ordered one.

OK Huffer vs Snuffer. Very very close. Way closer than the Phawt. In my quick measurements I found the Snuffer nose is slightly shorter making the overall length slightly shorter. Snuffer width is 1/8" wider at its widest, making it a bit eggier. Dare I say this shape might even be sexier than the Huffer? WB and Tail length the same. In reality they are so close I doubt I'd notice any difference in skateability. Stoked on this one. (The photo makes them both look less eggy)

What’s the wheelbase on the snuffer? Black Label site showed 14.5” in one place and 14.75” in another place
-
it's 14.75
I got mine in the other day. It's laid up with a bright green bottom ply and teal top.. My 2 favorite veneer colors
-
Correct 14.75". Orange tops have magical qualities for me. To the point that the grip job will have to reveal the correct amount of orange.
Be awhile before this one gets set up and I have too many Huffers on ice.
next stop, Grimple Huffer Slick.

In order of preference:
AF1 60s
Classic 55s
AF1 66s

I think this is probably right. I tried AF1 66s on mine and they were just too wide. An 8.5-8.75 truck seems to be the sweet spot
-
classic 55s

Classic 55. Next I'm going with Af 60.

It works.
Just feels different and I was used to having fairly loose old Indy 159s on it, but I also use mine more as a cruiser than a normal ride.
-
OK. My mail order bride arrived yesterday.
Do I run my curbaggedon as a:
a) Sloozer (slappy-cruiser) with 159 standards and 55mm F4 classics 99a
b) ATV slightly-magic-carpet-ride with 149 hollows and 54mm manderson SFWs 99a
c) BPSW homage with 6.1 cast and boardycakes 49s
??????
-
I'd vote a). It will also serve as an ATV set up like that.
c) sounds fun but more of a novelty.

they're super fun but i bent the axels slightly on this set doing slappys. they're still usable, gonna skate them a bit longer and switch to thunders

After a a couple of short sessions on the Huffer, I think it skates really similar to the standard DLX 8.38 shape (my foot placement is basically the same on both). Not a small board by any means, but it's surprisingly nimble and pairs well with different trucks. Rotation tricks are noticably harder, but this is the biggest board I've been able to flip.
I switched from Tensors to Thunders (149, titanium axels, cast baseplates) and like it a lot so far. Haven't been skating too much lately, but it was pretty easy to get used to (was on a 8.0 Hockey before this). There definitely is some "magic" with the dimensions that make it just work.

149s for me are the perfect set up. Plenty of stability but still able to flip

Ha yeah so keen, but we might have to wait a bit.
Frank and Fred earlier up this page was the most information so far, but if you are after anything else from someone riding one, that might be a little longer coming.

Yeah going to be awhile before my Snuffer gets set up. I have a couple of non-Huffers to kill and then a few Huffers to work through. I like to skate my decks in order of purchase.
However, based on having both a Snuffer and Huffers on hand I think its safe to say they are going to skate very similar, especially as they are both BBS pressed decks. In fact, I highly doubt I'll notice any difference at all.
I think you'll experience the same magic.

Got a Cardiel Mescalero Huffer new in box for sale. $50 and we split shipping? Will toss in a sheet of Jessup.

I'm convinced the original Snuff must have had a smaller wheelbase than the reissue.
Also, thank God skateboarding has people like Lucero.

I am still watching that video (which is so good!!) but John said he skated the original board, but not the later ones as the wheelbase was too short, so maybe the Copenhagen graphic did have a longer wheelbase, maybe not super long, but at least longer than the candy graphic or other boards.
He says that at 14:50 or so.
The only board I recall having from that era was from about 1992, The Firm Lance Mountain board just over 9" with a 14" wb that I still have, only now in two pieces, but the board before that was way longer with double drilled holes.
Almost forgot to say, but it was the closest to the Huffer shape of any board I have ever had, now looking back on it.

Couldn't take it anymore. Ditched my 8.4 Grimple at the park and set up an old Phawt. It took a few minutes to get used to a big 9"er+ again but then I did one of my most satisfying flatground kick flips in months.
Its going to be really hard for me to stray too far from the Huffer/Snuffer/ Phawt once I used all everything else...

I finally decided to jump ship and set up a huffer. After some time skating a Bannerot loveseat, this board has felt like the next best thing for me. Two sessions in and I’m thoroughly enjoying it.
Also running some well worn Ace 55s on 1/4" risers and Spitfire 56mm Formula Four Classics.

would the black label “snuffer,” work with af1 55s or would it be too small? anyone got the back truck measurement? really liking the shape just don’t want to buy af1 60s or 151s if i don’t have to!

I think 8.5" axle trucks work great with the shape, so AF1 55s should be fine. It's a little magic carpety, but it makes the board way more flippable imo. Good for a fun all around street set up.

On the Huffer, the width of the deck at the back truck (where the axle sits with Ace AF1s) is 8 3/4". While on the Snuffer it appears to be closer to 8 7/8"(maybe a tad under). Snuffer seems to be the tiniest bit wider than the Huffer overall
I think you could get away with any 8.5" to 9" axle trucks but I'd personally go with Af1 60s/ 66s or Classic 55s.
But the more @BartHarleyJarvis posts about using 8.5" trucks the more likely I am to try one day.
All to say, ride what you got and report back.
-
Just realized the Huffer is exactly a shaka wide. (Thank you Lucero)
Good God, it just keeps giving and giving.

The wheelbase is 14.75"
Over the front bolt holes where the axle would be is 8.75"
Over the back bolt holes where the axle would be is 8.875"
-
I've skated 8.5" for 7 years until I realised how much I loved my Creature 9.75" Allen Losi cruiser with a 15" wheelbase and couldn't get off it even when fall season was over... I felt so comfortable with that setup that I tried the 9'' AntiHero eagle and since then, my bag of tricks has grown non-stop. On my third Huffer now and I even set one as a cruiser because I can get enough of that shape. Being a tall guy, I feel it gave me the balance for transition and stability for flatground I couldn't get from riding small boards. Huffer 4 Life!
P.S. We should design some stickers for the club/cult of the Huffers, just throwing that as an idea!

@con_hielo i had the same thought about stickers. I got a place I use to print stickers.

If any of you are arty graphic designer types, please come up with some sticker ideas. I am certainly not but here is my first stab at an idea.
I'd think 5" x3" would be as big as we want them to be.

Had a two hour curb sesh yesterday and decided to go with my Huffer setup. I swapped classics for af1 66s to see how they work together, wasn't really feeling it. Put classic 55s back on it but was too tired to skate more that day. I'm going to stick with the classics for now since they're lighter and shrink the wb just a bit more. It seems my af1 baseplates are slightly warped or I'm just imagining but I can definitely rock them sideways on flat table. Anyone got Huffer working well with af1s?
-
I agree with you. @pops I do like my AF1 60s on the Huffer but that's mostly bc of width. In all honesty if there was a Classic 60 I'd go with that. No doubt AF1s are more durable but Classics just feel better.
Also... lots of Huffer footie in this...

I tried the AF1 66s as well and the 9” axle is too wide for huffer in my opinion. I think 8.75” is probably the sweet spot but I’ve been running mine with Indy 149s (8.5”) since and it’s been really great

Huffer
Length 32.5" with tape pulled, 32 3/4" with tape flat.
WB 14.75" on the money.
Tail: 6.75" (maybe a smidge shorter)
Nose: 6 7/8" (maybe the tiniest bit longer but def under 7")
Width at front holes of front truck: 8 5/8"
Width at back holes of front truck: 8 7/8"
Width at widest point: 9 1/8"
Width at front holes of back truck 9" (maybe a tad narrower)
Width at back holes of back truck 8 3/4" (maybe a pubic hair width shorter)

appreciate it, seems like i skipped the important pages
hmm seems like what i got is bigger cus i didn’t flatten the tape at all for the dims i posted. bummer, not joining the cult just yet
-
Was torn between a huffer and a snuffer, ended up with the label because I haven’t had one in a while and because the trucks I plan on using might fit a little better. Comes Tuesday so I’m stoked. Hurt my knee 4 weeks ago so I’ve been probably looking at too much skate gear. Will post when setup

It is funny what I hear come out of the mouth of the "shop dude" in any given place when I am not behind the counter, but either way it is a rad looking shape and good dimensions too.
Huffer Sr you could call it, going by the Polar trend to make Sr and Jr for bigger and smaller versions of the same shapes.
I guess the mold they were referring to could be just the length of middle / flat (regardless of where the deck bolt holes are drilled) which would add up, and not at all related to the shape of the deck itself, but I often over think things and logistics of making boards too.
Definitely need the longer mold to press a size appropriate deck to accommodate a 15" wb with the overall length and width being something that can change as much as the shape of the deck too, so for things like the Grosso decks, the orange eagle and even some slightly smaller boards, they could all use the same mold to make these decks.

Cult of the Quasi(not that Quasi)-Huffer
Don’t think I ever posted a pic of this but it’s a fucking tank and won’t quit. Either it’s flattened out or I’ve gotten used to it and it’s so good right now.

Crail Phawt
55 classics
Sml V-Cut 54mm
I’ve been on longer WBs and 55s for a while and I love the combination but something that sets this apart is the wheels honestly. At first the extra grip felt prohibitive but ultimately I can revert, speed check, and do the dinky little spins and bs skrrts I like to do (especially when warming up) just fine. I can’t do comically long powerslides like with F4s but that’s okay. The benefit is that the grip really opens up the feel and turn on the 55s, which I wasn’t sure was even possible. I regularly skate faster and lean into such deep turns with full confidence. Feels good man. Oh and the shape is lovely of course, that’s why we’re al here. I think that off-white Eagle huffer is just about the prettiest board you could buy so I’ll officially be joining the cult whenever this phawt dies.

My preference is 149. The 8.5 trucks seem to unlock the magic for me

I just purchased four 9” boards from the Crail mystery box thing, wonder if one will be a Phawt :)

Thanks, I'm only using 8.5 because I had them, I prefer 8.75 on everything. But it works fine, I also have 3 washers on the inside of each wheel to make them a bit wider. The Phawt shape is pretty tits.

Loveseat is the only shape I’ve skated for a year and a half so I def won’t be complaining. They didn’t have an option for 9.12 box so I was hoping Phawt would be included with the 9 but maybe not >:(

He's right, I got my 2 phawts in the mystery box and I had selected 9.125
Also, I was able to stack a 20% off code and still get free shipping. I paid like 80 bucks for 2 phawts and a set of (shitty) wheels. This was a few months ago though.

Spring 2023. Looks like the only Huffer before then is the John Herndon Hug the Pavement, so plan your Huffing accordingly.

Don't tell Dear Cult Leader but I usually have a discrete Loveseat or Couch set up among my Huffers. My goal is switch 360 flips before age 48. And then I think I can take it to a Huffer... Ssshhhh....

Huffer Herndon
I saw one of these at the shop recently. I didn’t need it but I NEEDED it, y’know? It spoke to me.
It checked all the boxes. Cardiel, Purple top stain, Blue bottom stain, Cardiel, IV stamp, dope graphic. Plus I’ve been keen to try a Huffer for and join the cult for a while.
Also, Cardiel.
Couldn’t help myself. It practically floated itself into my hands.
Now I just have to behave myself by not setting it up because I don’t need another setup.
Ok going to set it up now brb…

Soooo I bought a Huffer months ago, set it up a few times but always ended up not using it. I'm normally a fan of a chunky nose and squarer tail.
After seeing this thread I thought it would be rude NOT to set it up and actually skate it.
I didn't expect it to be THIS good, I'd have almost sworn before hands down it would be naff, but it's incredible. Hard to put my finger on it, but it just feels...right?

Hell Yeah, that's the magic of the Huffer. when the shape first came out it was not something I was interested in at all. too wide, too long of a wheelbase but then i finally broke down i got a little taste of whatever secret sauce is involved... it was over.
i believe, its all about proportions. tail length to wheelbase. and the shape of the tail, nose and rails, combines to make a very large board, more nimble.
welcome to the cult.

Huffer with the IV stamp
AF1 66s w/ hollow axle
1/8” risers
F4 OG Classics 55mm
Swiss 6
I’m excited to try the Huffer shape.
Might swap the wheels for larger OG classics.
Well, I’ve tried it and I’m loving it so far. I’ll be getting more Huffers in the future for sure. I’m sold.
I did put some bigger wheels on it before todays session though. Couldn’t resist. I probably will end up trying the 55 OG’s on it even though it was super fun with the 58’s today.
I don’t think I’d size down the trucks because I just like big trucks…but who knows. I’m a sucker for just trying things to find out which is how I ended up here loving big trucks and Huffers. Just havin some fun.
It’s definitely more nimble feeling than the 9” popsicles I’ve skated in the past despite having a longer wheelbase.
Just looking at it makes me want to skate.

Anyone in the know, know if the Grimple Huffer is going to be a slick?
Is that what we all asked for when we hammered DLX with requests?

Just picked up one of the newish Cardiel huffers like DeepSpace9mm setup above. Very, very stoked to check it out. I have a Polar football going now and then a Polar 1991 Jr. Huffer will come next.

Took this Huffer out today. I’d been on a Polar 8.75 football shape the last few weeks.
My first time on a Huffer shape and it’s one of the most comfortable decks I’ve skated. I’m mostly carving up bowls and this shape is perfect.

I’ve ridden it with both. 169s will hot rod a little bit, but I prefer them over 159s for the stability and extra width. I also skate transition 99% of the time, so it might not be the best if you flip your board

Yeah I had the exact opposite experience, I initially set it up with Ace AF1 66's (9" axle) and it wasn't working so I went down to Indy 149s and that unlocked it for me, but I mostly ride street or curbs on mine.
169 seems like it would be too wide but it's worth trying!

Definitely considering a Phawt. Would say I'm loveseat curious but 13.75" wb seems way too extreme....
Has the Crail wood gotten any better? My last girl board was fucking terrible but it's been a couple years. Phawt shape is obviously great but don't want to be stuck on some soggy loggy

I've skated two Girl decks since summer 2020 and they have both been great, nothing like the mid 2000s Crail. I only get to skate about 2-3 times a week at most and each deck has still been crisp after about 6-8 months, not soggy at all even with all the pressure cracks. Mine also did not chip very easily compared to the FA I was riding before.

I’ve been on the loveseat a year and a half and have a dirty dozen on ice, it’s the perfect skateboard imo. I will actually be devastated if they discontinue it. Once I hit my mid 30’s I moved up to a 9” and that short wheelbase still allows for easy flippage on a bigger whip for my sloppy feet. Crail wood is on par with every other brand I’ve ever skated. I get about 15-20 sessions on a board.
It’s weird after three decades of skating to try to stop caring about graphics because I feel a small sense of shame with the awful Crail website logo ones lol but at $35 a pop I’d be losing money not buying them, haha.

I skated two couches recently (one end of last year and one over the summer). I thought the wood was good on both of those. Better than the PS sticks decks I’ve skated recently but not quite as light, crisp, yet still sturdy as BBS wood. The Crail decks actually felt quite stiff which probably contributed to them not sogging out fast.

I always ride my Huffer as a curb/park/fun board, so I'm never flipping it. I'm also really tall so a 13.75"wb really doesn't make sense for me personally.
A part of me thinks it would be really fun to have a big 9" eggy short wb board for flip tricks but.... I'm bad at flip tricks and a loveseat ain't going to change that

Craig wood is good these days. I've had a couple of Couches, phawts, and one loveseat and all were solid for the duration of their life.
I skated the loveseats and couches to relearn some flips and they certainly helped but ultimately flips feel more satisfying to me on the Huffer/ Phawt . My kick flips are way better on the Huffer/ Phawt. Don't get me wrong the Couch and Loveseat are a tonne of fun and open up some stuff for sure.
Phawts and Huffers work for everything for me. Big bowls with 58mm wheels to flatground on 50mms... Couches and Loveseats are only really useful for me on flat and curbs. Not to get too picky but I'd love a Couch with a 14.25" WB.

Can confirm that the Huffer is a phenomenal small transition/bowl deck. I’ve also found the football/egg shaped boards in general to be great for transition as long as they don’t have the super short wheelbase. My fat ass needs 14.25 or more.
-
I skated the couch lately and have to say after two sessions I was fully adapted to that short wheelbase and would skate anything I skate with a Huffer. It's a great shape and would get a loveseat also if I had 8.75 trucks. I tried both decks with a slimmer wheel but soon found out I'm more comfortable with wider wheels despite the deck/trucks choice.
-
Finally pulled the trigger on the CK Phawt on sale on the Crail Store. I've been running a Supreme Antihero egg that's about dead so the phawt should get set up pretty soon.
-
Phawt doesn't quite have the same magic as the Huffer but its very nice still. Enjoy and destroy.
Currently running two Hufffers. One with 50mm wheels, one with 60mm wheels.

Surely not but the price was right. I have a buddy who just bought a huffer and didn't like it (which i found hard to believe) so I'll probably buy it or trade him for something.

Stood on a huffer in my local the other day and nearly grabbed it over a normal pop. Felt good and a lot smaller than I thought. Didn’t cop cause I got a bit nervous about the nose not being functional for nollie tricks and nose slides. What’s the consensus with you huffer heads regarding this, does it work for nollies?
-
I personally think so but I tend to like tails and noses that are closer in lengths.

Works really well for me, the length is good and the tapered nose makes the pop on my nollie/switch tricks feel lighter and quicker.

Nose is 6.875” so it’s not short. My 8.75 Quasi popsicle is 7.1”. Plenty of meat from trucks to tip.
Unless your concerned about the shape of the nose.

I see, thanks for the dims. Yeah so it’s not short, it probably was the taper I was more concerned with, mainly cause of my size 13 flippers I like a bit more room to stand on my slides and pop nollie from. Actually riding that quasi 8.75 now, which is what I picked over the huffer, it’s a very nice shape but I could do with a bit more real estate in the tail especially. I’ve cracked the tail already too after only a handful of sessions it’s only a matter of time before it snaps, so the huffer may be on the cards.

A couple Huffer vs Phawt comparison shots. Phawt definitely fuller, especially over the trucks and into the tail. Looking forward to setting it up and seeing how it rolls. I'm assuming since it's a bit chunkier it wont have that all around street magic the huffer does, but if it's good enough for CK1 it's good enough for me..
-
Thanks and now I have another Phawt on the way but for $37.50 shipped its hard to complain.

Cross post from set up. Phawt definitely doesn’t have the same magic as huffer but is still very fun. Probably just deluding myself to be honest but the tail is noticeably square compared to the huffer and the board feels much fuller overall. I think what makes the huffer so much more versatile is the additional taper around the trucks, it riders like a narrower/lighter board to me
-
Agreed. Still looks sick though and those 149s look real nice on it. I've skated two Phawts and have another one the way and I'm yet to regret it. Econo-Huffer.

Ordered a Phawt for $37.50 (including shipping) and Craig sent me two. Not sure if that was an accident but I'm pretty sto(c)ked.

My first huffer! I'll save my first impressions for after I've ridden it for more than a few minutes though
-
Lovely. What size are those Thunders? 151s?
-
Had my first extended session on the Phawt yesterday which mostly reinforced my first impressions. Rode some DEEP transition yesterday and board is super stable, nice and long, steers nicely. Only issues came up if I wanted to try to snap a bigger ollie or flip the board.
For me, that’s the Phawt vs huffer difference. Huffer still flips fairly nicely and that might be where something like the loveseat works a little better
-
Phawt has steeper tail/ nose and concave I think. But also the tiniest bit narrower toward the back truck. The two Phawts I just got are super close to Huffer shape but the concave isn't as good as a BBS deck.
-

I'm a lurker, but feel compelled to add that the loveseat feels super light for its size and no issues with getting consistent/solid kickflips on mine.

Yeah, the shorter length and wheelbase surely help here
-
I kinda forgot my Huffer for a bit since I started riding a Couch shape, haha! ;D I really need to get back on it, though. Optimally, I should be riding a 14.5wb but somehow the 13.875 Couch works perfectly.
-
Maybe we should campaign DLX for a Huffer Jr for the occasional foray into shorter WB territory? That way we can master a few technical flip tricks and BAM! straight back to the Huffer Proper...
(It worked for the Grimple Huffer which is due out in Spring)

was it the black widow that's a shorter huffer or am i thinking of a different deck

Brown Bomber was somewhat close in shape with a 14.25" WB.

There’s been a few Grimple eggs that have pretty much been mini huffers. I just googled “Grimple Stix egg deck” and found a few 8.75” with 14.25” wheelbase and a 9.1” with 14.5” wheelbase
-
Snapped my quasi 8.75 which felt soo good before it cracked, despite the short life I will definitely pick up another. Decided to take the leap on a huffer.
First session was nice, regular kickflips feel great once I adjusted my flick a bit. Definitely feels way smaller that it measures, extra length is nice feels comfortable to skate fast. Only thing that will take some getting use to is the pointy nose and I think my albeit weak nollie game may suffer a bit.

Seem like the grimple eggs have more width up front and pointier tails than Huffers. Huffers have more real estate in the tail and pointier noses. Ultimately, I firmly believe its best not to mess with the Huffer. Huff or don't. Just don't try to improve it and explore its nimble mysteries.

Blue meanie is 14.75 wb, just like the Huffer, so they are comparable in that regard.
The Raney shape is only 32 long with a 14.25 wb as he is a small guy so doesn't need a longer wheelbase, so yeah it is almost like a scaled down blue meanie, to think of it like that.
The Raney shape is really fun. I've had a few but not in recent years.
Can't be sure but I don't think he's on his own shape in that photo. It looks too wide, especially toward the back truck. And the nose looks like the Huffer's shorter pointy nose.
Either way it would be rad if he was riding a Huffer!
Fun to mix it up with different boards sometimes.

Looks like a mini Huffer type shape is coming out later in this year.
9.18" wide with a 14.25" WB. Nose looks a little pointier and tail a little squarer. Called The Genius shape. Looks so so good for a Huffer Lite. I think it will pair ever so nicely with Thunder 151s.
Oh, and some lovely Cardiel graphics on the Huffer also coming...

I was just now wondering whether people (on SLAP) fuck with Thunders and Ventures on the Huffer. Glad to see it. I have Aces on mine and it’s great but…madnesss, so of course I wondered about Thunders and Ventures.
You enjoying it with the Thunders?

Will be copping the new Grimple huffer. Waiting to see if my local gets it in so I can support, but it is already available on Skate Warehouse for those ordering online.

Typically I ride Ace but i have a soft spot for 151s. Been awhile since I've tried them on a Huffer and this set up might be on ice until the weather gets a bit better (currently using a beat up old board with 97as) but I have high hopes for these Team lights and smaller wheels.

I was going to save it, but I really needed something for cruising with the kid. The Huffer shape is pretty perfect for that. It's really a Swiss army knife deck. It kills at small transition, curbs, even some flat ground.
Of course, you all know this already.

For me, the 159s work great, especially with the bigger wheels. I don't see bolts or anything. I just need stability on the cruiser more than anything so I went as wide as I could without seeing the wheels from the top.
Would you go with 149s?
-
Ace AF1 55s or the new stage 4 151s which are 8 5/8". The wider cruiser wheels mean you can get away with a smaller hanger.

I have a huffer cruiser with OJ super juices. I had 149s on it, now I’m riding 159s on it. I liked it better with the 149s because the OJs are so wide. The wheels stick out with the 159s, but it doesn’t bother me enough to go back to 149s. Either one works, but if you’re buying a new set of trucks, I’d say go for the 149s.

Took the Mezcalero out last night and rolled around some fresh concrete downtown. Froze my ass and couldn't wipe the smile off my face.
Super fun shape that just works. WB, width, taper...it all just feels balanced.

That's really it. The balance of dimensions and shape. Long live the Huffer!
What did you set it up with? I'm always curious about truck choice for the Huffer.

What trucks and wheel size would the Huffer heads of this thread choose to use on a Huffer with a “I” stamp (super mellow everything)?
I had “I” stamp Huffer, flat, and it felt weird with 53mm wheels and Aces. 58mm + 1/8” risers felt the best but was not without drawbacks.
It’s a fun deck. Next time around I might try a different combo of trucks/wheels. Just curious what everyone’s ideal Huffer setup looks like, I guess.

That's been my experience. Had a I for the last Huffer and a III for my latest and the III is definitely more mellow.

Personally I like the mellowest Huffer possible also but I won't change my setup accordingly.
I'll set mine up with pretty much any wheel size. You can take advantage of the long wheelbase and put on some 58s or 60s fo crusty bowl carnage. Or re-live the early 90s and set one up with some Lil Smokies. If I am being really insane with my equipment... a mellower concave would be on my tiny wheel 90s inspired Huffer and the steeper concave would be on my big wheeled transition Huffer.

Huffer with 8.75" Slappy trucks and 54mm 97a F4s
Finally pulled the Huffer out of the stack and set it up with some new trucks. Should have some free time to actually skate it tomorrow.

I'd eat sushi off that.

Clean! what's the hanger width on the Slappy's?
My local is reserving some Stage 4 151s and 166s for me on SSD, until I can decide which ones are better for the Huffer. I'm leaving toward the 151s.

No idea where my vernier calipers are, but Tactics says 154.9. Dunno how accurate that is being from Tactics and all.

I found that I enjoy Huffer more with mid-wide wheels like Conical Regs or Og Classics. Fulls were way too chuncky for my taste.
-
Quick Huffer update. 151s could be a good new truck option. 8 5/8" Axle, so maybe a little magic carpet but will shorten the wheelbase nicely. (I think the 166s might be tad too wide for my taste).
If you can handle mid 80s style trucks on an early 90s style deck...

whats the truck to truck wheelbase on this?
swore 151s extend things
-
Stage 4 151s not Thunder 151s. Center of axle to center of axle is is 17.5".

Interesting. So they do pull the wb in like an Ace as well. I'm out of the loop and need to hit up the Indy thread I guess.

I wouldn't sweat it.
Yes, the turn is insane but almost too much. (If you want a tight truck that turns good these could be it) The grind is vey good, of course. The bushings firm up like crazy. This tames the turn a little, obviously but I'd rather a truck that comes with good stock bushings (Ace and Thunder for me) Also, kingpin clearance is limited and these are heavy trucks (personally weight doesn't bother me).
Honestly, Ace AF1 60s are better. All to say, unless you are super curious to feel that retro Indy turn, just stick to what works for you already. I would choose these over Stage 11 159s though.
Keep on Huffin'

Honestly, makes me want to try them more! The AF1s are way too unruly for me with the soft pivot cups, but I love something that pushes the WB and is a little heavier (find it helps with my no complies). These could be a contender.
-
well, you know the answer then. i'll be keeping these on this Huffer to give them a solid break in and then they are going on a reissue Natas I have for the heck of it. My Huffers will then be strictly Ace and Thunder.
-
I haven't seen the Grimple Huffer anywhere. Has anyone else seen it in their locals?
Embark in Maryland had one on Saturday. I’d already picked one up so I grabbed a Heroin symmetrical egg instead.
-
Looks like the Grimple Huffer has been selling out pretty quick, which is great since we campaigned for it. perhaps the cult with have future clout... (ahem... Huffer slick...)
The next Huffer that appears to be dropping is in Summer Drop 1. Pretty sick looking two board 'mini-series' with a Cardiel Huffer and Kanfoush 8.38"
Looks like Dennis McNett aka Wolfbat's art.

Which trucks work good with the huffer?
I’d like to try it out and see if it’s for me.
I skate mostly small transitions and mini ramp, and I’m trying to get into street/park. I’m bad at both.
I have Indy forged 159s and cast hollow 169 on hand.
Should I try out if ventures or thunders are for me?
Currently I’m on the 9” Orange Eagle, but it’s a boat, and way long.

It has been said many times, but one of the nicest things about the Huffer is that you can run anything from an 8.5" to a 9" truck. My favorite are Indy 149s, but I've had a nice time on 159s.
If you're struggling with he length of the orange eagle, I wouldn't recommend going with Thunder or Venture because they'll push the WB out.
For me, and this is just me, I would put the cast hollow plates on the 159 hangars. I love cast hollows, and 159s fit really well on the Huffer. 169s might be good, but they're too wide for me.

I had 6.1s on my Huffer once upon a time, but I didn’t like it very much. 14.75 is a long wheelbase for me, and making it as long as possible with Ventures, I just couldn’t figure it out.
Ended up going back to AF1s, but I went with the 60 Lows (they had just come out), the hard bushings (just barely tightened/still loose), and popped the 101A Lil’ Smokies on there, and that’s when l fell in love with the thing.
-
Lots of info and preferences on trucks back in this thread but my current order of preference on the Huffer:
Af1 60s
Ace Classic 55s
Indy stage 4 151
Af1 66s
Thunder 151

159s seem to be the preference here, especially if you’re going to also be skating street. I like running 169s on it, but it does hot rod just a tiny bit. Either one works though and you won’t notice much of a difference. If you’re mostly skating small transition, you’re going to love the Huffer. It’s a great shape for pools/bowls
-
Ace classic 55s are very nice on Huffer. I didn't like Af1 66s too much but would like to try the 60s.

I love Indy 159s on my Huffer. Perfect amount of truck for me.

For me the WB on the eagle is fine. As i understand I get a total WB of 18”, and Cast venture 5.8 would also net the same WB on a 14.75”, but total length would be shrunk by almost 0.75”
Good call on swapping the plates.
Actually, I can free up another cast plate, if I can’t swap kingpins on my 139 lows, and the cast. Bonus here will be my lows will get even lower.
That way I can keep my eagle, and setup a huffer or a Krooked/antihero/DLX/BBS 8.625 on 159.

Venture 5.8 or the 8.5 ones standards with riptide cups stock bushings.
56 prize fighter wheels with race reds.
I mostly flip my board around and try to grind blocks. Was hyped that i fs flip a bit better on this than on "tech" set ups. Felt like i was Coco Santiago.
The black label cardiel reissue is almost the same shape.

I had a few of these graphics…big fan, fond memories. Might have been longer than 6 years ago…shit time is flying.
In part due to the length and the concave, my huffers lasted fooooooorever.

I spend too most of my time on the gear thread and I get the itch.
The Huffer looks like a sweet shape and I’m very tempted but that longer wheelbase feels like it’ll be hard to work with.
Any short kings skate these and willing to share their experiences?

I started a thread about 14” wb, years after I skated the huffer.
Now I’m a mess and just skate whatever I get hyped on. I was skated a 14.5” wb, and yesterday went back to a 14” for the first time in quite awhile and had a great session. So…who knows.
I’m real life short, skateboard average: 5’8” ish/if. But short short legs. Overall length is of a board is important to me, and I currently much prefer a short tail and nose. The huffer is long, and the nose and tail are long.
Anyways, for me, the huffer shape was super sick, had a few, remember it fondly. My favorite setup was with thunder 151 hollow lights and 52s. I also enjoyed it with 159s, and 169s. probably preferred 159s. Never tried it with the classic ace 55s, but would imagine that would be a go. Thunders for me tho.
Blah blah blah. Strangely some of my shitty flatground worked on this behemoth. I wasn’t learning new tricks, but kickflips in particular, felt rad.
Because if the width and concave, deck lasts and lasts.
Underrated aspect is that looking down the deck just looks cool.
With some softer wheels, I’d be hyped to grab one and just skate to and fro, for transport, and with the ability to do some tricks in between.
For how I skate currently, parking lots and flatground, the shape is too big and too much.
Ramble ramble ramble.
For some reason the 14.75+ wb ended up not sucking. The shape has some ‘magical’ proportions, and is a great time, but for me is too much to be my only
(I don’t have an only)

If SLAP is to be believed, skating Ventures on a 14.75" wb will result in death or worse, but I threw 6.1s on my Huffer and it was nice and stable and light. I'm currently trying some AF1s with hard bushings to see if I like that set up, but I'll probably go back to Ventures soon.

Yeah i was skating 13.7 to 14 wb exclusively. And it worked but i switched to bigger boards just to thin out my stacks. Started with a 14.15 wb now I'm up to this wb. Not sure if 14.5 or 14.75 but even with ventures it feels hella good.
I'm 5'9" tall for a mexican but short for the world.

Had a lot of fun on this early 90s inspired magic carpet Huffer today.
undersized Ace Af1 55s and 101a lil smokies, were 50mm prob about 48mm right now. smallest undercarriage i've had on the Huffer thus far.

Sun’s finally out in Oregon. Time to break the lull and get some Huffer show-and-tell going again…
Similar to the previous post, I’ve been on my own little early-90s journey with this Huffer. Basically, I kinda biffed the initial setup, didn’t really like it, but instead of retiring it, I started thinking about making it into a weird BPSW-inspired rig.
I thought I nailed it last fall with the AF1 60 Lows, but I found these 161s that I had forgotten about under the couch a few weeks ago (then remembered I took them off my Beach Bummer the week before it got stolen out of the car). 48mm Classic Smokies and these natural “hot glue” colored NFG bushings, and we are really cooking now. Anyone else stick with these NFGs past the break-in? Seems like they were just too fresh if you got them right when they made them. A little cure time and these are great. Really fun on these big Thunders.
Only gotten it out a couple times, but early returns are very good. This is coming with me every time we go to the store “just in case there’s a nice parking lot, babe.”

Only skated it a little bit on two different sessions, one at my local and another at a curb/slappy spot, but I’m sad to report that my engagement with the Phawt left me feeling disappointed. I flip my board quite a lot and the huge wheelbase made that challenging, so I was more hopeful about slappies but that wasn’t doing it for me either sadly. Especially going back and forth comparing it to my usual whip, the loveseat.

My phawt left me super disappointed. Not sure if it's mental or if it's crail wood or something, but it didn't seem to have that huffer magic...

Glad to see the Huffer Cult coming back to life.
Agree Phawt pales in comparison. Crail wood is good but the Phawt ain't no Huffer. I think if I skate Crail wood again I will try the Loverseat Plus.

Can you compare the 161 turn to narrower Thunders? They look a tad too wide for the Huffer for my tastes but they also look like such a beautiful truck.

They actually fit well on this particular setup, but only because 48mm Classics are one of the smallest things you can mount up. Anything else, this would be a hot-rod for sure.
As for the trucks, yes they are definitely beauties and it’s probably the only truck whose aesthetics can hold up proportionally to such dinky wheels. Honestly, I’m really impressed with them. The extra height is great. I feel like you can actually get these a little looser to start, and having that quick Thunder turn on a bigger truck is very fun. I had previously been riding 56mm wheels with the stock bushings (no risers), and I wasn’t getting bad wheelbite at all. They’re also light for big trucks; feels like the board has a little extra lift. You can kinda see it in the detail pic, but the kingpin clearance is good, too.

Yeah, I'm frothing to try some 161s. I checked out some 181s in the shop the other day and they were unbelievable light and sexy for a 10" truck. Wide Thunders are underrated.

Maybe I shouldn't share this but it wasn't hard to find... Summer Drop. Reminds me of Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy. Will def pick this up.

Suttree would be dark as all hell. But why stop there? How about a Cormac McCarthy series for the literary nerds?
Got a glimpse of the next Huffer coming (Fall Drop 2) and it might please fans of an old AH artist.
Hoping for a wheel-welled Huffer at some point...
And a Slick Huffer...
And a Huffer Jr... slightly narrower with a 14.25" WB?

Slick huffer. Yes!

I'm about to go back to my Huffer and pair it with Af1 60s. I tried to skate it with 9" trucks but felt like it was too much truck. My ankles have been hurting lately because of skating street and pushing around and feel like it would be better to stick to miniramp for a bit. Huffer is my favorite transition board atm.

I know this was left aeons ago, but there are literally gazillions of short WB eggs and footballs out there for you to grab. The huffer is the only longer board of the bunch. Don’t make them mess with it.
Like fuck. If you ruin these before I have a chance to try them I’ll find you, and I’ll tell you off really strict. I might raise my voice at you. Go get some heroin, primitive, creature or enjoi eggs. Leave this one alone.

Don't panic. It looks like a new Huffer is put out every other release or so. There's a nice Chris Johanson one due for Fall drop 2.

Sorry, I actually was a little drunk when I posted that rant. But I’m still a bit serious.
What if they come out with the 31.5” length -13.88” WB TruFit Huffer, and then find them selling better than the OG. My fear is they’ll discontinue it.

Huffer Jr like Polar did their Jr boards, smaller size of the original shape, or Welcome, "Son of..." size decks.
Either way, they had the Black Widow, or Brown Bomber and a few other options that didn't sell as well, but are still around every now and then, so I think that side of things is covered.
Even the Genius shape covers those smaller curves well.

What's your preferred wheel on Huffer atm? I'm eyeing some classics in bigger size 56-58mm and I ride 8.75 trucks. Would like to hear if you like a slimmer or a wider wheel on Huffer and why. Used to ride bulkier wheels on my Huffer but stuff felt so heavy.
-
I've used everything from 50mm Classic lil Smokies up to 60mm OG classics. All depends on what I am riding.
I think classics look the best but I like a slightly wider wheel so Radials are a nice compromise. I get too much wheel bit on the Huffer with more squared shapes and have to start stacking up the risers which isn't ideal.
My current Huffers have some worn down 55mm classics on Ace 60s. A pretty good all terrain Huffer. And 58mm Classics on Ace Classic 55s for bowls and transition.
if I had to commit to one wheel on a Huffer it would be a Radial 56mm.
Here's the next Huffer that should be out soonish,

Radials would be tight but they're not available for me and I prefer 97d that I forgot to meantion. I got some 56mm classics and thanks for the recommendations. I rode some wider 97s in a concrete park and wooden mini ramp and loved em.

The Formula Four 97 duro come in Classic 53, 54 and 56 mm, Conical Full in 54, 56 an 58 mm and Radial Full in 54, 56 and 58 mm sizes.
I have some of each, mainly 54 and 56 mm sizes as I just like the formula for some places, and the Radial Full or even Conical Full are good wide wheels that work well on wider trucks and boards, just looking at the proportions anyway.
They all should still be current stock, but depending on your area, some might be more available than others.
All of these have worked well on the Huffer shape I have set up.
Looking back over your posts, you seem to have quite a few options in wheels, from bigger, softer, wider, etc.
I do like the Classic shape for most things, but I also prefer Classic Full or Classics when worn down a bit more, so they widen out, but the fact that they are so easily available anywhere in any size makes them a good choice and they will lighten up your board a bit, compared to the Radial Full 56 mm wheels you have / had on boards.

Back on a magic carpet Huffer today. Felt really good at my curb/ flat spot.
AF155s with Ace hard bushings. Ace 1/16" shock pads (probably unnecessary). Some worn down conical full 53mm 101s...
This might be my 'tech Huffer.'
Seriously considering committing 100% to the Huffer and just mixing up the undercarriage for different applications/ terrains.

I think I have to as well. I like me sub 14" board as a cruiser but for everything else it started to feel too stubby and unsecure. I wasn't a fan of Classics and Huffer combo, Radial Full gonna be too hefty probably so I might try some smaller diameter Conical Fulls.

I thought the WB would make it a pain but it wasn’t that crazy. I just did slappies and tried some flip tricks. Weirdly rocketed my Ollies specifically. Other than that, I get the hype.

I may be in the minority here, but I threw some Venture 6.1s on my huffer. Felt a little long at first, but now that I am used to it, this setup is so much fun. Already was running Ventures on my other setups, I was just reluctant to throw them on here due to the wb.

Damn. Now I want to try some 6.1s

Might be blasphemy, but I was wondering if anyone here tried that genius shape from anti hero. It looks to be the huffer with a 14.25 WB.

Yes. The Genuis has rails like a Huffer so it looks somewhat similar but the nose is way shorter and pointer and tail is way squarer. It is a super fun cruiser shape for Huffer aficionados. They just released some with wheel wells which will make it even better for cruising IMO.

I had a tab open for one that had been sitting around at Amateur Athlete but it got sold. This was also a couple of months ago too. I think that graphic is pretty well sold through.

I could be way off but I *think* that was actually the Ben Shchroeder Krooked guest board, which is different from the huffer shape and closer to the blue meanie. I want to say I remember BA talking about it in an interview and he said it had a big square tail so it was good for Bluntslides.

Yeah I have one on order from the local. Looks like the only Huffer release for awhile also. Spring drop 2 and Summer Drop 1 don't have any.
So get one if you think you'll need one in the next few months. I will have three in my stash. I should be good. (With two currently in rotation).
I am going to alternate between Huffers and Twin 8.5s for 2024.

I know we always want to support the local, but if anyone is in desperate need of a Huffer after this drop, the Zumies near me has like three of them (two Eagle/Grimple huffers and one of the newer blue/blonde boy ones). They also have a stack of Heroin boards that have been sitting for months.
This is all just to say that they carry them, but don't seem to sell very many of them. I'd imagine it's the same at other locations.
Only as a last resort, of course. ;D

I’ve been missing my huffer. As a back up/curb/park board it’s still my favorite shape ever I think. I have a Neil blender supreme board set up but might move on from it if I can find a nice huffer graphic on ice somewhere.

Still have that white eagle huffer in pretty good condition. I think it's too long for me to skate anything but transition but would it work as cruiser? ???

I have three on ice and one set up but for some dumb reason I am riding other shapes that I am not really into....
Every time I skate, I think the Huffer would be way better for what I am trying to do...
Anyway, yes they do work as cruisers... I'd recommend 8.5" Ace trucks with wide wheels. Fun.

My current cruiser is a huffer on Indy 159s with OJ super juices. Not sure why, but the huffer makes it easier to do powerslides versus other decks. I had 149s with super juices at one point, it felt better than the 159s and the wheels didn’t hotrod

Zumiez :/
it caught my eye when cruising the mall a while back, I was hoping to score one from a local shop but....

Yeah looks like Zumiez is the only online source left for the GrimpleHuffer.... I might cave...

Graphic is so good I don’t even want to skate it…. But I’m going to skate it

I might just to do a Spring Sacrifice to Ishtar by unloading some decks on some kids so I can justify full time Huffin' again.

Damnit @BartHarleyJarvis You inspired me to order from the big Z. only place i could find the grimple Huffer...
...but after the Cult's Campaign for Cardiel on Grimple, I couldn't let this one slip...
arriving tomorrow.
so so tired of popsicles.

So the Player 8.75 "egg" is a Huffer. Egg nose but tail is almost square.

haven't seen one in person but to me it looks like the wide point is up front. the huffer almost looks wider out the back. also the huffer has a pointier nose.
some have tried but none have succeed in replication. closest would be black label.

Still have that white eagle huffer in pretty good condition. I think it's too long for me to skate anything but transition but would it work as cruiser? ???
My current cruiser is a huffer on Indy 159s with OJ super juices. Not sure why, but the huffer makes it easier to do powerslides versus other decks. I had 149s with super juices at one point, it felt better than the 159s and the wheels didn’t hotrod
My white eagle huffer is back in action. It will work as cruiser / hill bombing setup for now. Put my Af1 60s and Dragons on it.

Seeing as I was looking at shapes and comparing top view pics, here is their recent huffer for comparison, especially the big round tail, compared to the very pointy nose.
Most of the Heroin and other eggs are more the other way round with big round noses and small pointy tails, one guy even setting up the Huffer with the eagle graphic with the nose as the tail and he was weirded out by it saying they messed up, but when I showed him how it usually goes, he switched it around and was happier, although still a little bit mystified at the shape of the board.

The 14.75 WB gave me the confidence to set up another board but damn. Maybe I just need a new Huffer or 3.

I know theres been some talk about it already -- anyone have any insights on what wheels they diggin most for huffers?
I'm currently on some 56 Radial Fulls 97a and they're sick for cruising my neighbohood crustiez, but I was at a super worn in spot the other day, and I was having the hardest time locking in on grinds with them. I guess my 8.75 aces are grinded down too but I felt like I was just on all wheel where I shoulda been grinding.
I also haven't ridden wheels under 56 in at least 8 years... am I missing anything good there for huffin?
-
Seems to me the hot new craze of soft wheels that slide is going to lead to huffing good time.
If you can put Dragons on a Huff, I won't complain. I just put some 97 X formulas on one and now I have a tinkling sensation in my bum.
But.
Hold that thought as 93a F4s drop on April 1st but not before noon.

I’m curious about your huffer setups.
I haven’t got one yet, because I’m lacking in skill to simply break my current boards.
I have the stuff to make Indy159 and 169 in either cast or forged height. And I have 54 and 56mm wheels on hand.
Does anyone ride thunder 151/161 or venture 6.1s with risers?
Could probably pull off 6.1s without risers and 53/54mm wheels.
Do you guys prefer a slight magic carpet on these, or hot rodding slightly with 9/9.125” trucks?

My experience was that Huffer and big wheels didnt work at all for anything except cruising but for that I would go soft and slightly bigger than what I normally skate.

How about truck height? I’m afraid to go lower than 54-55mm in wheels because we have pretty massive coping at our indoors.
I’ll mostly be bailing 180 no complies, and attempting to carve the 6’ bowl and falling on the 3’ mini ramp.

I ride Aces with 1/8 risers so truck height is about 55-56mm. Wheels usually 54 to 56mm, sometimes I go up to 60mm but depends much what else Im riding.

I've used 8.5" to 9" axles.I think 8.75" axles (so Af1 60, 159, 151, 6.1 etc) fit the best and I usually use AF1 60s but there is something magic about Ace Classic 55s on a Huffer that I need to tap back into soon.
Wheels, I've ridden 49mm (really fun for a BPSW era times) up to 60mm. Anything over 54 and I almost always use an 1/8" riser. My go to wheel sizes for the Huffer are 54 to 56mm but def like a Classic 58mm for bigger bowls- works great. If I was going to ride a vert ramp, I'd go Thunder 161 with 58mm classic whees for sure. But that would be the only time I'd ride trucks bigger than 9" on a Huffer. I don't like Hot rodding the Huff too much.
My current Huffers: 1) All purpose Huffer with AF1 60s, worn down 55mm locking F4s and 2) big transition Huffer, Ace Classic 55s and 58mm Classic F4s. Both set ups have 1/8" risers.
Next up is my Hillbomb TechSlide Huffer... Thunder 181s and some Spitfire 93a Radial 58mms.

Huffin around and having lots of fun. Fun camouflage effect with the griptape and asphalt.

The beauty of huffer is it sot of works with everything. I've run it with 9" axle trucks which personally were a little wide for me, but with 8.5-8.75" trucks it's perfect. My current set up will be with Stage 4 Indy 151s and I usually run a 54-55mm wheel on it for a nice do it all set up.

So i gather from your posts that I’m not completely off track. I’ll be trying out basically everything I have on one. Really want to make 56s work, but I’m not afraid of risers on forged.
If it becomes my forever shape, I might have to get two, to kind of a/b test them.

I find it weird I didnt skate my Huffer for a year or so since it started to feel too long to me but recently I've really liked it. I was on much shorter boards for a bit but now those feel super sketchy and I get leg and back cramps. It seems the wider stance is better for my back and I like added stability of that long wheelbase. Im definitely sticking to Huffer and my Heroin egg for now.
-
Hold tight Cvlt!
Doesn't look like any Huffers until Fall Drop 1 but Praise Cardiel its a good one...
... Wheel wells!
I think I have a big enough supply to see me through until then... and then I shall be dropping a full pay check on Wheel welled Huffers.

oh wow sounds great!
What would 9” ace af1 be best for on a huffer? Not much transition here but cruising and curbs?
-
Yes 9" axles can work well on Huffers.
And with wheel wells, it sometimes better to have a slightly wider truck as it pushes the wheels out to where the well is deepest.

This thread convinced me, next deck I buy will be a Cardiel Huffer

Please do. I'd hate for interest to run dry and for my back up Huffer pile to shrink too much.

Just wanted to post a photo of my GrimpleHuffer now that it is broken in and beautiful. (Loving the green bottom ply)
I was a little gutted b/c 1) I had to get it form the Big Z 2) It showed up warped... But its turning out just great...
I'd just like to add that Pepper Galaxy grip is really complimentary to Huffers and will win you a lot of attention at the old man curb session.

sick. What’s the full set up, Ace classic 9” ? 1/8 riser, 54mm wheels?
-
Thanks and close. Af1 60s, Lock in 99a 55mm, about 53mm now (photo makes them look bigger) and 1/8" Bones risers.

Love it. I also run Huffer and Af1 60s now. Just with 10mm bigger wheels, tho. ;D
