@big_kev_215 You set that one up just right.

@big_kev_215 You set that one up just right.

Thanks - really enjoyed the first session on it.  I regretfully razor-tailed the hell out of it trying a 5-0 backtail thing on this bump to ledge for like an hour straight.  I might grab another one of the same graphic while they’re still floating around

[Frank and Fred]

Never regret going hard. Get another.

Had my first little warm up session with Huffer. Skated only flat but I have to say it feels so good to be back on longer wb, though this board doesn't make it feel too hefty. I was amazed how well this board kickflips, like the best I've felt. Gonna skate some transition this evening too!

[Frank and Fred]

Hell yeah. My kick flips have gone to total shit since I am making my way through a couple of non-Huffers i have in the pile.

Full Huffer commitment is coming to my life in about three decks time.

Fuck my skate life until then...

Skated at concrete park for an hour, mostly transition and a bit of curbs and flatbar. I had not touched transition in weeks but quickly got hang of things. I love how this deck feels so stable but still very nimble pretty much everywhere. Only thing I don't like are very low, quick and steep ramps due to that hefty wb. So far one my favorite decks ever. I didn't get any crazy wheelbite from using 56mm wheels but I'm still considering of using 1/8 risers from now on.

Grimple Huffer  Slick with wheel wells.

This is not real.

I am manifesting a new possibility.

Grimple Huffer Slick would be amazing. We all hammered the customer service email so fingers crossed...

Don't even dare say that, the Grimple Huffer is very real and I'll be buying 10 in the near future.

[hobochimp]

We will be seeing the grimple huffer for sure

[Frank and Fred]

OK. I will not purchase any other boards before I purchase a Grimple Huffer.

That's that. I hope you are all correct or I might just be done.

[Frank and Fred]

Oh hello,



This might be the best alternative to the Huffer. Slightly wider, shorter WB and pointier tale but the OG Cardiel shape. A thing beauty.

Damn you Lucero, damn you.

My Huffer is just about cooked and I have a board in line and this is absolutely throwing me off.....

[Frank and Fred]

I could see this one going nicely with some 151s and Lil Smokies.

What’s the wheelbase on it? Looks so nice. OG cards shape sounds like a good time

The catalog picture on black labels site also says 14.5”. I think the 14.75” was an error

That is what I would be going with, a 14.5 fits better with the overall length too.


I feel like the stock pics show a pointy tail, but the actual pic looks a lot more Huffer / Black Label Jake / Snake shape, with a more rounded tail (which I would prefer) so I guess someone will get one and take some good pics for everyone else to drool over.

[Frank and Fred]

Are you suggesting I order one for the greater good?

[yourbreakfsat]

Just measured the one at my local.



The wheelbase is 14.75"

Over the front bolt holes where the axle would be is 8.75"

Over the back bolt holes where the axle would be is 8.875"

Thanks for the correct measurements Yourbreakfsat and yes F&F I think you will have to "test" one or two for us all.

Seems very close to the Huffer actually, but that is for you to tell us.

anyone have clips/vids of cards skating a huffer shape?
most of the footage ive seen of his is on sub 8 boards

I could very easily be wrong, but I think it was more the throwback to the era and board shape above, around 1992 and that egg shaped in between board from the change over period when things went from fairly normal 1990-1991 square boards through to 1993-1994 rounded popsicle boards.

Someone posted his shifty ollie in the egg thread, so other stuff from that era is always rad to see.

This might be the best video to show the board shape, though I am sure there are others:

Thank you for this! Looks almost identical to the huffer. AH and Black Label are both BBS so it’s possible that that they are using the same mold

[Frank and Fred]

Any idea why this Cardiel is priced so high? Just a sign of decks (shaped in particular) getting more spendy?

My understanding is the huffer shape came post injury. I think cardiel in his prime was mostly riding like 7.5 or 7.6. I read somewhere once about cardiel talking up his love of Indy 129s. So he was mostly  on tiny boards
