Hook-Ups Deck Hoot-Ups 3 (8.5) delivers Jeremy Klein’s signature anime aesthetic on a wider, more planted platform built for power and control. Measuring 8.5" x 32.25", this deck offers extra stability underfoot, making it a strong choice for skaters who like a little more board beneath them—whether for transition, bigger gaps, or fast, confident street lines.
The bottom graphic is bold and unmistakably Hook-Ups. A layered blue spiral background radiates outward, creating depth and motion behind the central character. Across the top, the bright orange Hook-Ups logo pops with black outline detail, accompanied by “Since 1994” beneath it—marking the brand’s longstanding presence in skate culture. Centered on the deck is a stylized anime character with blonde braided pigtails, sharp green eyes, and crisp, high-contrast linework. She wears a cropped Hook-Ups tank and orange shorts, holding a milk carton that splashes across the logo on her top, tying directly into the playful “Hoot-Ups” theme. The illustration balances bold color blocking—orange, white, and blue—against the swirling background, keeping the artwork clean and highly readable from nose to tail.
At 8.5", this board offers a noticeably more stable ride compared to narrower setups. It feels solid underfoot for carving lines at parks in Arcadia or Pasadena, and planted enough for stair sets and rails across the San Gabriel Valley. The slightly longer 32.25" length gives it extra control at speed, making it comfortable for skaters who prefer wider decks without sacrificing pop. Whether you’re skating smooth concrete in West Covina or navigating street spots around Alhambra and El Monte, the added width provides confidence and control.
Jeremy Klein’s legacy runs deep—from his early days pioneering technical street skating to founding Hook-Ups in 1993 and shaping skate graphics with Japanese anime influence. Hoot-Ups 3 continues that tradition: bold, graphic-driven, and instantly recognizable. It’s a deck that stands out on the wall but holds its own in a real session.
If you’re looking for a wider, stable platform with unmistakable Hook-Ups artwork, the Hoot-Ups 3 (8.5) blends playful design with functional performance—true to Klein’s creative direction and skateboarding roots.
