Cult of the Huffer

[pops]

I kinda forgot my Huffer for a bit since I started riding a Couch shape, haha!  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

[Lee Ralphs Dear Old Mum]

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.

Love seeing Thunders on these Huffers but dudes please let me know what size. 151s again?

151s hollow with the green bushings, on 1/8 real wooden risers.

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.

Conical fulls? 56mm? That's what I'm going to try next. Not really feeling skinnier wheel on my Huffer atm.

[juniormint]

Yep, 56mm conical fulls - they feel so good with thunders.

I’m using 56mm Snot Dawgs that are conicals and they are fantastic with my Huffer.

yeah, i THINK those grimple eggs are variations of the twister/flyer shape vs the huffer

Raney on a HUffer?

Raney on a HUffer?

Saw that as well! Looks like the right graphic/color for the most recent non-Cardiel Huffers.

 I think it is the 8.63 Raney shape with the cream eagle graphic, which shows more in some clips, but happy to be wrong as that is the current Huffer graphic and was the 8.62 eagle popsicle graphic when they still did all sizes.

Now I'm intrigued by that shape as well!

[Lee Ralphs Dear Old Mum]

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.

[Lee Ralphs Dear Old Mum]

First session of the year and last session on this Huffer before I gave it away to a homeless youth shelter today to hopefully propagate the cult.

Broke in a freshie afterward.

Looks like a slightly narrower blue meanie?? Blue meanie is 8.75

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.

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...

Is this on AH page or Instagram?

[Lee Ralphs Dear Old Mum]

i stumbled on something that might not be for public consumption yet.

[munchbox]

any info on the length?

[Lee Ralphs Dear Old Mum]

31.5

[Lee Ralphs Dear Old Mum]

here are the wonderfully horrible GrimpleHuffer graphics...

[munchbox]

31.5

basically dane1 range
would have been perfect closer to 32”
