Kanfoush Shape
« on: June 25, 2019, 01:41:43 AM »
Has anyone skated the 8.55 Kanfoush ‘Yinzer’ shape? I recently bought a new one with the Lance Mountain graphic.

I want to buy some Ace trucks for mine and was wondering whether that specific shape would be better served by Ace 44’s or 55’s?

Thanks.

I think if it’s 8.55, you are required by law to get 55s.
Man the long board truck thing killed indy for me. I was willing to set aside the racism, but long boarding, gtfo... - DH

Indy 149s fit it perfect so you might want to consider that too. It's an in-betweener size for Ace so if you're cool with the little bit of axle hanging out and the extra weight go with the 55s.

Sadly none. Damn Ace goes from 8.35 up to 9 which is a dumb move.
Sir, I'm going to politely, but firmly, ask you and your common sense to leave this establishment.

I've got 149 indys on mine and they're a perfect fit.

I love when I hear about people buying Austin's boards.

I skated with him for a few years when he was just getting sponsored and what-not here in Pittsburgh.

Real good dude.

I was eyeing this shape since his debut graphic - that sick wolverine bear thing,  I have a pair of Wes kremer 159s that I have been waiting to use on an 8.5 (my standard setup is 149s/44s 8.25) That new lance board was the one, and I think the fit of 159s is perfect, but of course it’s my 4th setup and I only schralp my driveway parking block with it :/

Beautiful shape though, big nose square tail, it’s practically a shaped board, flips well with the small wb

Edit: btw this thread should be in the shoes and gear section

Skating the wolverine graphic in the smaller width so I'm not much help except that I was very happy my local had his board in stock so I can support this dude. Ever since seeing him skate in that Vicky Report video I've been a huge fan and already have a 2nd Kanfoush deck just waiting until this one wears out.

yup same here. 44s are only .1” smaller than the deck on each side, good fit. you’d be riding a dune buggy with the 55s on it

If anyone is interested in trying this shape I have one that I'm looking to get rid of. It's gripped and was briefly set up and "skated" indoors but is effectively new. Shoot me a PM if you want it.

Sorry for necro'ing this thread, I know its not really good slap etiquette and I should just post it in the classifieds but it's a fairly rare shape to find these days.

Yeah idk about the character of a person that exploits the homeless by kickflipping over one for a video clip. That might just be me though.
ok thanks

@PatrickSkateman talk to @Buttfart Rapedick, looks like he’s got you covered
