My Cards Snuffer arrives on Thursday. Will see how close it is to the Huffer then and give a full measurement comparison for the Cult.

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)

Well worth the exploration and discovery process.

Now to skate it and see...

MUST.BUY.SNUFFER.

What’s the wheelbase on the snuffer? Black Label site showed 14.5” in one place and 14.75” in another place

sharkin · « **Reply #334 on:** July 15, 2022, 08:12:43 AM »

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

Frank and Fred · « **Reply #335 on:** July 15, 2022, 08:20:13 AM »

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.

Thanks! Hopefully my local gets some in. They just got a Black Label shipment but no snuffers

Orange tops looks so gorgeous and def give you some magical powers.

What Ace trucks are y'all using on the Huffers?

Frank and Fred · « **Reply #340 on:** July 19, 2022, 11:12:30 AM »

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 55. Next I'm going with Af 60.

Landmine · « **Reply #344 on:** July 19, 2022, 12:10:28 PM »

Sweet, that's what I figured but I just haven't bothered to actually check yet.

intendedreceivers · « **Reply #345 on:** July 19, 2022, 12:35:15 PM »

Anyone ride the Huffer with Venture 6.1s? Can’t go wrong with 159s, but I think I’m in the mood for something a little different.

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.

spanyard · « **Reply #347 on:** July 20, 2022, 10:08:33 AM »

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

Frank and Fred · « **Reply #348 on:** July 20, 2022, 10:38:52 AM »

I'd vote a). It will also serve as an ATV set up like that.

c) sounds fun but more of a novelty.

I vote B, that's how I run mine and it's sort of the best all around set up for me

A but C also sounds fun as hell

I caved and got a cream boy. Have it with Tensor ATGs and very worn down 51mm radial slims. Also guest appearance from the Krooked Phantom behind it.

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

FatGuy92 · « **Reply #355 on:** July 23, 2022, 06:33:28 PM »

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

Who’s got a review of the Cardiel Snuffer for us?? Does it have the huffer magic?

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.

I left out the pics, seeing as they are on the same page, back up a bit.

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.
