Just over a week on my new Mickey Munoz woody... oh man, I've got to move to the mountains. This thing is born to cruise. All longboards are NOT the same. This baby just looks beautiful, and when I'm on the couch... it just stares at me with those hang dog eyes, next thing you know... I'm grabbing onto someone's bumper and motoring across town. Thanks Chuck! I'll have this ride forever!

IT HAS ARRIVED CHUCK. The board has arrived in one piece and looks stunning! The black (not what I expected) on the belly of the board looks awesome! Cant wait to take her out for the first time, really looking forward to it. Just want to thank you and the guys at BARFOOT for helping me out and placing this wonderful piece of craftsmanship in my hands. THANKS AGAIN CHUCK!

Hi, Just last weekend my family and I were in Eugene,Oregon. We went into a shop that's been around for awhile, it's called Lazars's Bazar. Anyway to my freekin' amazement,I saw an unused/brand new Twin Tip Freestyle 171cm! I had an identical one,same color(yellow) but a 161cm back in '89/'90. Of course I had to buy it!I have it proudly placed in my living room,and I jones for the snow every time I see it! I probably won't ride it though,because it is new and I don't want to screw it up,but man,after a long days work,I walk in the door to my house and, blam! Something about the design and the simplistic coloring and that giant paw print makes me feel good!! Thanks for keeping the BARFOOT alive,and I can't wait to get a hold of the new swallow tail design! Oh, and by the way I have one ...

BARFOOT boards are sick! I have the Renny Yater legend long board and it is my favorite of all time. Take my advice and buy one of these boards!

I just receied my round tail nose rider, and it exceeded my expectations. I shopped around and looked at several different longboards, but i loved the traditional size, shape and finish of a BARFOOT board. Everybody that has seen it seems to agree, and they want a BARFOOT too.

Just wanted to let you know I have been riding with your board for the last 4 years and have been loving every moment. I live in Germany and when a nice sunny day comes around I grab my board and head out the door to hit the hills. Well I really just want to say thanks for such a great product.

My wife surprised me with the Yater board for my birthday, making it the best birthday since I was a kid. It rides like a dream, but it's so beautiful I'm scared to mess it up. Anyway, after a year or so of pining for this board and daily stare sessions on your website, I can now stare at it all day for real.

Man, Chuck, my new BARFOOT Egg HT is the most amazing longboard I've ever set foot on. I was a longtime Sector 9 rider, but then on a whim I ordered a the BARFOOT and now I refuse to ride anything else! All other boards feel cheap compared to the rich, soulful, surf-style ride I get when cruising on my BARFOOT. I bought other trucks and wheels and even bearings to replace the stock parts with, but I found I have no need to do that because the all the equipment the BARFOOT comes with kicks ass anyway! It's awesome that the boards are still handmade too. Thanks a lot for making your sick boards.

Dude, BARFOOT boards are Awesome. Chuck was awesome with returning my emails and I love the board. It’s so beautiful it should go on my wall, but it rides too awesome to do that. When I got my board, my brother liked it so much he went out and bought one the next day. You guys rock. I am thinking about getting another board from you guys because I like Mine so much. ;-)

WOW! I have not got one of your longboards yet but don't worry because I'm getting one for Christmas! I really think that you guys have the really awesome designs that feature the nice wideness that I have been looking for in a longboard! All of my friends are into the "longboarding" that I don't consider longboarding with the slides and turns and tricks and fancy things but I really like just cruising, cross stepping, and just carving, and your longboard looks like the one for me! :D thanks for designing some real, classic longboards guys!

I tried my friend's Rabbit Kakai Legend Series longboard, and I immediately fell in love with it. I knew as soon as I rode it I had to have one, and I spent 3 hours today looking for it online before I found it. I’m so stoked to ride it. Keep up the amazing job.

Hi my name is SKY, A couple summers ago Scott Starr turned me on to longboarding. I loved it the second I pushed off for the first time. He then introduced me to Chuck, the coolest person I know.(Well there are a few but Chucks is right on top). These are the finest boards a person could be blessed with... BARFOOT is the beginning of where I'm going.

I've got to say, I grew up surfing Bunger's out of Babylon, New York and I've been a longboarder since. I've got nothing again the carves and the rush of biting into a good set, but I've got to say "Wow." With your longboards on street. It doesn't even exist here in Korea, not yet, and the looks you get are wild-- but when I'm talking about serious stoke, I can't imagine a name more perfect. It's just such a mellow ride. I mean, walking the nose and even getting some deep carves and DON'T EVEN TALK about the pushing. Why it took so long to hit up a BARFOOT, I don't know, but in my quiver, it's the ride I take out to find peace in my life-- it reminds me of why I got on boards in the first place...ANY BOARD! Thank you-- in a way I think ...

I must compliment Chuck on his creations. At 49 and 230 lbs, I wrote Chuck to see if his boards could support my weight. Sure I'll build a thicker one for you. And He most certainly did. In fact, I love my HT Square Tail so much, I had him build me another. Both of these boards are wonderful, artful, soulful rides. It takes me back to sunny childhood/teenage days. My nine-year old son is in awe of his Dad cruisin' and carvin' around his school's playground and the local park. I tell you, ten minutes on a BARFOOT would bring about world peace. It doesn't get any better than this. Thanks for all your extra effort Chuck!

Unbelievable, I was just skiing in NY, and a friend of mine had some boards to go to the dump. In there was a vintage BARFOOT from when I started boarding... no metal edges, it was turquoise. Needless to say, it is now in my home and on the wall. What a score!

Greetings Chuck, I scored a Rippin" Rabbit several months ago and I'm totally stoked. The deck just feels so right under my feet. I never thought that I could execute such tight carves on a 47 inch deck. WOW! My only additions were a set of Bones Swiss and 68mm 3dm red Avalons (74a). Clearly the sweetest ride in the quiver! Nothing but gratitude!

Hello again... just a quick update... I made 16 runs this weekend down Spiral... the 1/2 mile downhill on the edge of town... 6 on Sat and 10 on Sun... 1am to 3am both sets. Set one started off when 3 units from Hastings' finest stopped by my van to ID me and see what was going on. I told them and one said, "Hey, that's a longboard... those things are fast." Another said, "Say, aren't you that guy I saw last weekend out on Spiral? You scared the heck out of me... all I saw were arms and legs... I didn't know what it was... I knew it wasn't a deer though." The senior officer then says, "Alrighty then... have a good time and be safe." They leave. Oh, thank God...I thought my fun was over when they showed up. Well, I spent the last week on ...

Recently got my Woody Square Tail complete and to say that it's amazing is an under-statement. Its Awesome, Beautiful and Sssoooo surfy. I love it. I'm soooooo stocked. Chuck was a great guy to order from, even though he was a little hard to reach on the phone, because I'm in Ontario Canada, it all worked out beautifully in the end. The craftmanship on this board is outstanding and flawless. I'm trying to figure out a way to hang it on my wall after each session to show off its hypnotizing beauty. Anyways, thanks a lot Chuck, the boards great... Long live BARFOOT Boards (I'm representing in Canada with my shirts I bought) Hang loose dude!

I am sad to hear about the passing of Dale Velzy and have gone out and purchased a Chuck Barfoot skateboard signed by both Chuck Barfoot and Dale Velzy. It's number 65 of your production, dated 4/16/05. It proudly carries a "Surf Boards by Velzy" decal on the deck and I must say that I am very happy with my purchase. Now I believe that I must put this board up on my wall, displaying it, so to say, as a monument to dale and purchase yet another longboard to actually ride... I can't wait!

Received your 60's style longboard last weekend... really nice board...and I was finally able to go out at 1am this morning to a 1/2 mile downhill called Spiral Ave on the east end of town...it didn't look that steep from the car... wide, smooth two-lane...well lit... no traffic. Until I stepped on your board, the only downhills I ever did when I was a kid in north Georgia on an aluminum Banzai with the goodies of the era. I started riding that board again last year after over 20 years to teach my 6 year old how to do it. The bug bit hard to relive my teenage years and I have just returned home, a proud but battered 43 year old who just made 4 insane trips down Spiral Ave(and I walked back up each time). Your board dropped me into a state of pure fear ...

My brother always gives me a hard time about giving me a ride home, I always end up wanting to kill him and getting thrown out of the car. For about 3 weeks now I have been waiting patiently for my new Rabbit Kekai board to come in. Finally it came in. Rides beautifully nice. Since I have my new heavenly board I don't have to bum rides off my jerk brother anymore. I would take a Cadillac ride over a dumpy traffic filled ride any day. thanks guys.

Hey, I'm really bored around here and the only thing to do is cruz. It's pretty landlocked and flat. I'm thinking about buying one of your boards because they are so original and cool. I love your hand-made style and how they are so retro. Well anyway, thanks for making my days fun.

Chuck, I wanted to thank you for working with my fiancé on getting that Egg Woody to me for Christmas. I think you went "above and beyond" and I really appreciate it. As for the board, it's just incredible. I'd purchased a floral noserider last year for my fiancé’s birthday present and he and all of his friends were more than impressed by it. The guys that run the local skate shop are in love (I took it in to show it off). Maybe soon there'll be a bunch of East Tennesseeans on BARFOOT's. Thanks again!

Just received my LJ Richards board. This is my first time back on a board in about 25 years. I'm 38 now. First thing I did after getting home from work was take off my "monkey suit" and put on my "skate suit" and headed for a local office building parking lot to get the hang of long boarding. My earlier days of skating came back to me pretty quick, at least the basics did. It was about 15 minutes before a security guard came along in a golf cart. I asked if it was OK to skate in the parking lot. He politely told me about the no skateboarding policy. I felt like I was "back in the day" getting chased down by a security guard. I politely told him I understood and left the parking lot. I went to another spot and "bombed some hills". Well, they're hills ...

I just got my first longboard, a BARFOOT Floral. It was just the board cause a friend of mine took it down off his wall so I could have it to ride. I put some wedge risers and Indy 149's w/ Bones soft bushings, on it with some Powell Bombers. This rides like a dream. I rode some of the demo boards at Purple SKunk in SF and couldn't find a ride I liked. I got on the Barfoot and feel in love. I am very impressed with the ride, it is everything I dreamed a longboard should be and then some. When I get going carving a hill the tail slides out just a little, giving that slash surf type of a feel. Awesome board, never ridden one with the Baku trucks, but I heard it's not stable at speed with the Baku's. The indy's were nice and stable ...

Unreal boards, what’s the GI Joe? Can’t purchase these anywhere in our great southern land. You guys need call your distributer down here, get em off the turps and into action mode. Selling these fine weapons to the masses who are walking around dazed & confused when there is no surf. catch ya.

At first I wasn't sure where I was going to be able to ride my board. We live in the mountains and there aren't many decent roads. Also, my Renny Yater Spoon is so fast that even on the slight incline of my street I was terrified to ride it. A couple of days later I drove past a parking lot with a one or 2 two degree slope, only two minutes from my home. I just found my Nirvana!!! It's like an asphalt wave, a cement ski hill. And since the parking lot is only used for a few hours on weekends, and is lighted, I can ride whenever I want!!! Never have I had as much fun doing anything (legal). And the board is the envy of everyone who sees it. The Spoon is a jaw dropper, and no one has seen anything like the trucks. Thanks ...

Chuck, If you'd like some enthusiastic support with the distribution of your new/old boards in the Pacific Northwest, please sign me up. I'm a professional salesman, but more importantly, a life long (going on 17 years, anyway) BARFOOT rider. If not, I'm still chomping at the bit to get my hands on a couple for myself.Best regards,

I live near a paved bike trail that consists of some fairly steep hills and some flat terrain. This trail runs about four miles long, and goes through woods, over bridges... very scenic. There is no greater feeling than coasting through this trail on my Barfoot longboard. I get the same feeling from it now as I did when I was eight years old. My Barfoot board has helped me remember why I loved skating as a kid and taught me how to capture the magic again. Thanks!
Julie Dameron

Thanks so much for your help on the phone. I can't wait to get my board. I am sure you will be hearing from me again as soon as I get it, with all of my gushing.

I am very impressed by the craftmanship that has gone into these boards. Is there anywhere in the U.K where I can look at them and buy one? Can you please send me details about the company and how the boards are made? I am fascinated with the quality. Thanks a lot.

Hey Chuck, Just wanted to drop a line and let you know how appreciative I was to get a call from you regarding my board order and that it was the right board for me. It's nice to know that there are people out there who still care about the satisfaction of their customers. Also, I'm even more pumped about my purchase now, I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve. Thanks, Chuck.

Greetings, This is as much a fan letter as a customer question.To put it simply, I'm love with your boards. For the some reason the Nuuhiwa is really speaking to me. To be honest, I'd really like to get two. One to ride and one to hang on my wall. These boards are pure art! Currently, I'm riding a 47inch pintail from Sector 9 and 38inch board street board. I'm looking for something to mix up my riding with. For the most part I do a lot of (generally) flat land city riding and commuting. Would you recommend the Nuuhiwa board or something else like the Velzy?

I was excited to see that BARFOOT skateboards still exists. The first skateboard I owned was a Barfoot that I got second hand in 1984 and then outfitted the trucks and wheels at the Snowboard Shop from the Achenbachs basement in Calgary. The first snowboard I owned was a BARFOOT twin tip that the Achenbachs gave me to try in 1987 when I worked at Sunshine Village (the only hill that allowed snowboards back then in Alberta). I just ordered a long board and am looking forward to using it and teaching my kids to skate and board.Thanks Chuck!Long live BARFOOT boards!

Well, I did it! I ordered me the round tail nose rider. I am 40 yrs old, and trying to get my wife to order a long board wasn't working. So last night after many liquid bread, courage potions, I went out to the car. My wife is so busy shooting the bull with locals she didn't notice my departure. Once at the car I took out my trusty laptop with new air card and ordered away!! Man, all of a sudden a wave of euphoria washed over me as I knew that soon, surf would be up! Well, she found out the next day and what a fight! But as I say, it's better to ask forgiveness then permission!!

I’m only 19 but I’m into more of the 80s style skating. I stumbled on one of your fish shaped boards at a local shop and was blown away. whether I’m bombing hills or kick flipping gaps, nothing but smiles. Need to get me another one for sure.

Hey, just got the "round tail nose rider" Ordered it online so easily, and received it very fast. The board is really nice, nice deck, awesome trucks, great maneuverability, all around awesome board.

Am still enjoying my Square-Tail Noserider! We finally had some good weather in the city over the weekend, so I was able to tear up the city streets. I absolutely love that board, and am stoked everytime someone asks about it. I like the new site, and the new Barfoot logo. Curious to know, did you discontinue the Peggy Oki boards? Was thinking about adding that one to my collection for some of the steeper hills of SF. Hit me back if you can, man. I hope all is well with you. And, thanks again for making such rockin' boards!

I am going to be buying a BARFOOT board cause I have heard so much about them. I was wondering if your Floral is a nose rider for a 140 lbs man? I am also wondering if you are going to the Krypto Route 70 70mm/78a wheels? I saw them on your boards on another site. Can't wait to carve in Colorado. Thanks!

Chuck, I've been riding your classic style longboard for about five years now and I just gotta say it is and has been my favorite board to ride since I got it. It is the most durable board as it has taken a brutal beating by me and everything I've smashed into and it's still going strong (though I broke the original trucks a long time ago). I just recently started riding bowls with this 47 inch board and it's a great time wherever I go. Thanks for the great board and keep up the good work!

Robert Leva

My black square tail nose rider was my very first board and even with my collection now at 11 it is and has always been my favorite all rounder. With these 84a Zombie wheels, I can do everything and anything, free riding, sliding, long distance pumping, carving, and even some board walking. If I had to move to a deserted island with only one board it would absolutely be my BARFOOT!

Hey Chuck- Just got my Dale Velzy signature complete today- Number 154, to be precise- and I had to drop you guys a line. I've ridden just about anything with wheels that I could get my hands on over the last 26 years, and this board, by far, defines fun on a skateboard for me now. I never would have imagined a board that looks, feels, and carves like yours do... And one other thing- The board is really beautiful. It's nice to see someone take so much pride in their work. Keep it up. It separates your boards from the rest.

I purchased a longboard earlier and found your board online and bought it used, the person used it for a year and still rides as if it was brand new. It's the best board I've ever ridden. My daughter rode it and wants one just like it. I gave her my other board and stuck with yours. I'm pushing 46 yrs old and this board brings back memories of tearing it up back in Hawaii with my old Sims board. Most awesome ride ever. Plan on getting more boards for the kids (4 Kids). Thanks for an awesome board.

Hey Ern, a blast from the past from a fellow Hilton class of '82. I've been riding Sector 9s here on the "hilly?" streets of Chicago, but your boards look sweet. I'll take a look. For some reason, I thought you were at 5150 doing snowboards. Hope all is well. See ya,

My friend bought the Harbour and as soon as he came over with it, and I fist rode it, I was amazed at how it handled. I bought my own BARFOOT Square Tail nose rider and it is amazing. My friends always compliment on how cool it looks and how nice it handles. One of my friends, Ben liked it so much he bought the same exact one! The craftsman ship makes it a truly amazing board and in my opinion the best cruising board out there. Thanks for making such a great product!

About 15 years ago on my first trip out west, my buddies and I met Chuck and his crew in Winterpark CO. All I can say is that it was a defining moment in my snowboarding life and I'll never forget how cool it was to meet some real snowboarding legends. I'm stoked to make my first longboard a BARFOOT. Every time I skate it I'll remember that great first trip out west. Thanks!

I just wanted to send a note saying how much I’m lovin’ your Nuuhiwa board. It’s an inspiring thing just to look at and when I step on it, the ride transports body and soul. It’s a crazy sweet thing to carve the concrete waves of Vancouver on your board dude.

Woo Hooo! I love my new Board!!! I'm so impressed with everything. Thank you Chuck for answering my questions on the phone!! I was so blown away that I got to talk to you... Since I had been reading about you for a few days on the internet making sure I was going to get the quality that I wanted! I'm very happy with my board. Everyone has enjoyed it immensely! If you are reading this and not sure yet on what you want, go with a BARFOOT Board. Its awesome!

YABA, DABA, DOO! Just got my board in today. Well worth the wait! Your workmanship is something to be proud of. At 45 my wife thinks I'm too old for this. Thanks Chuck for helping me keep young and pass a fantastic sport, and great equipment on to my daughter. I put in another order soon, guaranteed!

One day way back in 1985-86 I walked into the main thrift store in downtown Santa Barbara, I don’t remember what I was looking for but I noticed 2 weird looking snowboards in a cardboard shipping barrel stuffed with snow skis, crutches and golf clubs.. I recognized the Sims Yellow Plastic Skiboard with the Lonnie Toft deck because I had been working for Chuck Barfoot the past year building skates and snowboards at $3 an hour.. and I remember seeing them in SKATEBOARDER magazine years before but I didn’t know what the big blue arrow shaped snowboard with the Sims stickers was. I really couldn’t afford them but something told me I should. Remember this was way before snowboarding even mattered. There were about 6 companies making 300 boards a year at this time,The Snowboarding magazine ABSOLUTELY RADICAL had only an issue or two out and well no one was ...

Wow. What a great birthday present to myself this new Richards board has been. It rides just as I imagined and the craftsmanship of the board is amazing. I have turned friends who have never skated before into believers with this board. I finally matched it with some Flashbacks and this board rolls out big! It has turned my time clock back a few years and accounted for countless hours of good times. Proud to represent BARFOOT on the east coast... I highly recommend Chuck's boards to anyone looking for a good ride.

Can't wait to see the new board. I need a replacement for the board I got from chuck back in what, 1998 - 1999, the all black deck with a small logo on the nose. Keep the updates rolling, I need my 3rd BARFOOT. I keep threatening to break out the Twin Tip Freestyle 161 for fun.

Hey man! I recently ordered the mini egg from you guys and just got it in the mail today. I love it! I’m so stoked! It’s such a gnarly board. Thanks again for the shirt and stickers too. Peace and love.

Hello,I've visited your website many times now, lusting over several of your boards; they're truly beautiful. Can you tell me: I've looked specifically at the Bar Harbour "Banana" in the Surf Legends category. Although painted, is the construction similar/same as the rest of your boards? Thanks

I've had my "woody Donald Takayama" for about 5 months I and LOVE IT. People always comment on how great it looks, but better than that it performs amazingly.

I scored a sweet Donald T long board (nose rider) from Northwest Surfstyle at the Seattle Ski and Snowboard Expo. I Love this thing. It's my first long board and have turned 3 different friends on to your boards. Now we all three ride the streets of Portland on our BARFOOT Longboards. None of us have been able to hook up with BARFOOT stickers though, can you hook a couple of P-town riders up?Much thanks Chuck!!!!!

The Da Claw kicks some serious ass! My birthday just past and I got the board. The trucks have some insane turning capabilities. The wheels are okay and same with the bearings too. I have two longboards know but the Da Claw is awesome. Keep making awesome boards Chuck!

I'm 13, it's my second year snowboarding, I'm wearing hand-me-down black Spyder racing ski pants, a bright neon pink and black Gotcha shell, and Sorel boots with ski boot liners jammed in them. I'm strapping on my first rental board at Bridger Bowl ski area in Bozeman, Montana, a yellow Barfoot Twin Tip Freestyle 151. Fast forward to current day, October 2010 I'm 33 and I'm waiting with baited breath for Chuck's new snowboards! I want to support one of the originals in the industry and get myself a sweet, unique board to keep cruising on! Minnesota may suck for boarding but I always look forward to the trips out west!

Wanted to send a note of thanks for not only producing a sweet riding board but a board with classic looks, lines, and superb quality! Been riding your R.T. Floral for three years now...awesome board, still rides supreme! I picked up a Woody Egg this year, and once again, just a sweet ride. Hey, I turn 50 this spring!, so anybody...yeah anybody thinking about grabbing a BARFOOT... don't hesitate. Seriously, for the asphalt cruiser, you just won't find a better ride.

It's probably been 35 years or better since I've skateboarded. Ever since I saw a longboard several years ago, I thought that that cruiser would be just for me. I went to the local skateboard shop last Wednesday and the Floral Nose Rider caught my eye. One thing led to another and I bought it. Wow, I forgot what fun it was to ride! Thanks so much! You make a great board!!

Your boards are by far the best that I have seen. 1 Q/A. Why do the woodies cost so much more than the H series? is it that fact that they are wood or do they ride better? - It's because they are not wood stringers.

First off, all of the boards out here are amazing. I'm recently waiting for my Donald Takayama "In the Pink" and I can't wait for it to arrive. I rode a Sector Nine at a friend's house and thought that was fun, and later I tried an HT at another friend's house and thought it was the BEST ride. It was a quick decision, and I decided to go with the best looking board. I love the originality of all these boards. Keep up the good work!

Chuck!I have been meaning to send you a Thank You note for over 2 months now! You were so awesome to help me out on such super last minute notice with the Velzy Board for my hubby's birthday! He loved it, still loves it, and so does everyone else! It rides awesome, especially on the downhill, and it is so beautiful to look at! So, thanks again and we will definitely get with you again!

Barfoot makes the best boards out there. I've have been riding only Barfoot longboards ever since i first saw Mike Santarosa stylin' a nose wheelie on a Barfoot on the cover of the very first issue of "International Longboarder Magazine" (RIP).. way back in the summer of 1999

I ride a Yater Woody skateboard by BARFOOT, find it awesome for cruising hills in my local park. By the way, I am 70 years of age and still skating and surfing.
