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.

Has there been a Huffer with wheel wells yet?

No but please fill out the DLX feedback form to demand one.

We want a Huffer with Wheel wells and a Huffer Slick at some point.

Just gave an old Huffer to a kid at a skatepark. he was beyond stoked.

Giving boards to kids who appreciate it is the best. Nice one!

Anyone see any Grimple Huffers for sale anywhere?

 Its the only Huffer I have missed since this thread started. I'm starting to feel bad that I didn't get one, as I was one of the people who campaigned for it...

Anyway, I only see one online at Zumiez... and I'm not sinking that low... let me know if you see one anywhere.

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 don’t know how you feel about buying from a ski shop but it’s the only one I saw:

Thanks. I also just saw one on the First Gear skate shop site. The shop is out of the Chicago area. Anyone know it or ordered from there before? Looks legit.

is this a phawt/huffer?
or are my eyes deceiving me
would make sense for the time period
while cool-guying is a real phenomenon, studies show that 83% of all cool-guying incidents can be attributed to the cool-guyee being an awkward weirdo

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.

@BartHarleyJarvis is correct. That trick may have been pre-Huffer.

Obviously not a Huffer but check this 90s pic of Dune on a deck that looks just like one.

that board might have been more of a stubby thumb tail.

prime example of the little wheels big pants era. brown blind pants, anodized indy's, cut sk8 hi's, los feliz.   ;D ;D ;D

i always wonder if ck1 was riding his on thunder 149s.
i went with 151s, which worked the best for me, but 149s might have been a hit.

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

FYI Huffer fans. It doesn't look like any Huffers coming at least through the Summer Drops, so if you need one, get the ones that are out there now.

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?  ???
