Cult of the Huffer

[Mbrimson88]

Can we get a Grimple Huffer?

Grimple Stix Cardiel guest board on a Huffer shape?

It seems all too easy doesn't it??!?

We should all agree that if this happens, we all need to get one.

I will join the cult if this happens! Probably will otherwise too but definitely right away if this happens.

If this happens, I'll keep buying them until either the stock or my bank account is empty.

I found I have done that all too often over the years with various things, but almost always been happy I did so.

This one for sure!

Let the campaign for a Grimple Huffer begin.

Let's  see if the power of SLAP can manifest the holiest of collaborations.. You never know... its happened before...

Demand the impossible.

Didn’t they do a gerwer egg that was a huffer?Jeezus, that sounds like 50’s slang. Straight from Burroughs.

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

I DM'ed Frank like a man, let's get this going.

"Hey Pete,
 
Thanks for reaching out. We appreciate the input and support. A Huffer shape on a Grimple board is a great idea. I'll talk to Frank and see what's up. Feel free to contact me with any other questions or if there's anything else I can do to help out.
 
Best,
Cam"

[BartHarleyJarvis]

It's going to happen!

Got a similar response today too, hope it happens

[djoekr]

My DM probably got stuck in request-limbo but that's great news! I desperately need a 9 inch Grimple deck to add to the collection.

[Mbrimson88]

Ha yeah!!!

You guys are awesome!

[Frank and Fred]

Just alerted Dlx Cameron to this thread and the Cult of the Huffier to try to sweeten the deal.

Just tried to send them a message as well but the HIT US UP page led me to an error page when I tried to send it. Anyone got an email address?

[Frank and Fred]

It worked. I also got the error message but it went through.

Same here.

Can anyone measure the full specs? I still haven’t bought one.  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.

Thank you and thank you @intendedreceivers also. I had a Blue Meanie and liked it very much. The Huffer sounds very good in that regard. Short boards are not for me.

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)
Width at back holes of back truck 8 3/4" (maybe a pubic hair width shorter)

Hell Yeah! more Huffer action shots needed.

[Frank and Fred]

About the worst possible angle for a fakie ollie but here is my Huffer and I at Burnside last week. Dawn patrol on my 47th birthday.

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.
