MATT HENSLEY KINGSIZE HORNBLOWER G SERIES

The Matt Hensley original Kingsize Hornblower was Matt’s second Pro Model on H-Street, and it came out in around the same time as the mini board in the late 80’s. The Hornblower was also made on two different shapes. This is the first one that was much closer to the Street Swinger but with a bigger nose (thus shorter wheelbase) which came out first. The second shape was double drilled, and the most recent re-issue was the F Series in 2024.

The graphics to the Hornblower were drawn by Jeff Klindt, who himself has a very storied and legendary past with H-Street and as an artist, musician and very accomplished skater at the time. Jeff can be seen skating in the original H-Street videos and his art and music were an important part of our history.

Matt’s boards are handmade at Legend Skates with original silk screen techniques by Screaming Squeegees.

The Hydro Dip is a special treatment that creates a totally unique background image and the image on this page is a representation of the process.
