Globe Huntsman Complete Skateboard
Globe Huntsman Complete Skateboard
Globe has been shaping boardsports culture since the Hill brothers launched their Melbourne operation in the mid-1980s. The Huntsman Complete carries that heritage into a wide, ready-to-ride setup built for cruising pavement. A natural bamboo center panel gives the deck its signature look and a lively, responsive flex underfoot, while blue painted nose and tail sections frame a bold tropical graphic. Everything arrives assembled and dialed, so you roll from the shop to the street without touching a wrench.
Why Globe
Beginning with Hardcore Enterprises in Melbourne, Stephen, Peter, and Matt Hill spent decades building Globe into a globally respected boardsports brand. Their hardware line applies the same standard they set with footwear: materials chosen for performance, graphics that hold up, and setups that feel right from the first push. The Huntsman is a product of that institutional knowledge.
Deck Construction
The Huntsman deck is built wide, making it a stable platform for carving, commuting, and casual park riding. The bamboo construction visible through the natural center panel is lighter than traditional maple alternatives and offers a more elastic, surfy feel through turns. The tropical Bamboo/Play graphic wraps across blue-stained nose and tail sections with nature-inspired silhouette artwork, keeping the aesthetic firmly in the boardsports tradition Globe built its name on.
Ready to Ride Complete Setup
As a complete, the Huntsman ships with trucks, wheels, bearings, and hardware already mounted and tensioned. The silver aluminum trucks visible in the image suit the deck width and provide the turning geometry that makes this setup feel predictable for riders stepping up from narrower street setups or coming over from surfing. Cream urethane wheels deliver a smooth roll on pavement and are forgiving over light cracks and debris.
Who It Is For
The Huntsman is a natural fit for surfers who want a land-based alternative on flat days, riders transitioning to a wider cruiser platform, or anyone who wants a complete Globe setup that is ready to go without building from parts. Available at Island Water Sports in South Florida and online.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Globe Huntsman a complete skateboard or just the deck?
- The Huntsman is a complete skateboard. It ships fully assembled with trucks, wheels, bearings, and hardware already mounted, so it is ready to ride straight out of the box.
- Are Globe skateboards good?

Their complete setups are a reliable choice for cruising and everyday riding.
- What is the Huntsman good for?
- The Huntsman is built for cruising, carving, and general transportation. Its wide deck and bamboo construction make it particularly appealing for surfers seeking a land-training option and riders who prefer a stable, maneuverable platform over a narrow street setup.
