UPDATE: HUF Exhibition Honors Keith Hufnagel’s Legacy
HUF pays tribute to the life and legacy of its founder with a memorial exhibition and t-shirt, both of which make their debut today. The show features photos of Keith Hufnagel shot by Ari Marcopoulos, Giovanni Reda, Tobin Yelland, and Atiba Jefferson alongside a video created by RB Umali, and mural by Remio. All will be on display at HVW8 Gallery in Los Angeles from 1 – 6pm, and will run through November 8. The brand is also releasing a limited Keith Hufnagel Forever t-shirt designed by Cali Dewitt and James Rockin, which can be purchased at the gallery, shops, and via its online store. All proceeds will be donated to the Phase One Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to fighting cancer.
Keith Hufnagel paved the way for all of us – as a respected professional skateboarded, shop owner, brand founder, footwear and apparel designer, creative director, and industry leader. He showed us how to do it, and how to do it right.
Keith’s legacy will continue to live on at HUF. Today, tomorrow, and forever. – HUF

At 63 years old, Judi Oyama continues to push the limits and break barriers in the world of skateboarding while preserving its rich history for future generations to enjoy.
She started skateboarding when she was 13. To this day, she still takes part in slalom competitions and is even a member of the US Slalom Skateboarding team.
I’ve been skateboarding for over 50 years, and I want to see how long I can keep going.
As a pioneer of the sport, Judi was there for the inception of Independent Trucks and helped recruit many notable names to the Santa Cruz Skateboards team.
Judi also holds onto a treasure trove of skateboarding memorabilia, including rare boards, vintage magazines, and more. On top of that, she also helped curate for the NHS Skate Museum.

Solo Skate Mag Releases Matheus Du Bronks “Labirinto” Part
Matheus Du Bronks delivered an impressive part in “Labirinto”, an independent full-length video project by Bruno Rocha.
Filmed for almost 5 years and in 8 countries, “Labirinto” also features Akira Utida, André Saide, Bruno Prado, Claudio Junio, Felipe De Carvalho, Gustavo Dos Anjos, Leonardo Favaro, Lucas Marques, Mauricio Carvalho/Patrick Vidal, Simone Terzi, and Tallys Junior.
The rest of the parts will be released on various skateboard channels.
Here’s what Bruno says about the video:
“More than a traditional full-length skate video the idea was to bring up moments of questioning and reflection about themes from existentialism to racism, through a collection of audio, animations, texts, and also some easter eggs hidden in the course of the video. The idea appeared in my mind in 2016 while I was studying the myth of ”Cretan Labyrinth”, that summed up tells the story about a labyrinth created in order to hide the negative side effect/s of King Minos greediness/greed. By applying the ideology of the myth to our current times, I still see ourselves trapped in a Labyrinth that keeps hiding from us the greed of this capitalistic world around us, leaving us lost in endless paths and taking us away from harmony, equality and love towards the other.”
