Haze Wheels

The brand champions an independent approach, created by skaters for skaters, with its graphic identity entrusted to Func'88 from the very beginning.

With each collection, Haze develops wheels in a range of diameters, hardnesses, and shapes to suit different ways of skating.

An independent skate brand

L’independence plays an important role in the identity of Haze Wheels.

The brand was built around a team of skaters, collaborations, and wheel series directly connected to the French skate scene.

This close connection with riders can be seen in the various pro models and collaborations developed by Haze over the years.

Haze Wheels and the French skate scene

Haze is closely tied to the Parisian and French skate scene.

The brand has worked with various riders and figures from the skate scene, notably on pro models, limited editions, and collaborations.

This culture makes Haze a French skateboard wheel brand with an identity that stands apart from the sector’s major international brands.

Haze Wheels

The Haze Wheels wheels are at the heart of the brand.

Diameter, width, shape, and hardness vary by model to deliver different feels on your board.

The choice should therefore be based on the terrain you skate, your skill level, and the feel you’re looking for.

To compare the different models available at HawaiiSurf, browse all our skateboard wheels.

Haze Skate Wheels for Street

For street skating, compact, relatively hard wheels are often preferred for responsiveness during tricks and slides.

Diameters such as 51 or 52 mm help keep your setup relatively low and maneuverable.

Then choose a hardness suited to the terrain and the feel you're after.

Haze Wheels for skateparks

At the skatepark, wheels need to maintain speed and precision on surfaces that are generally smoother than the street.

Haze models with a high durometer may suit those looking for responsiveness.

Choose the diameter based on the types of obstacles you skate and your preferences.

Haze Wheels for bowls

For bowls, some riders prefer a slightly larger diameter to maintain speed more effectively.

Width and contact patch also affect how the wheels feel.

So there is no single ideal Haze wheel for bowls: the choice depends on your setup and riding style.

Haze Prime Cut

The Haze Prime Cut is part of the wheel ranges developed by the brand.

It's available in different versions across Haze collections.

When choosing a Prime Cut, consider its diameter, width, and durometer to match it to your style of skating.

Haze Prime Cut 2

The Haze Prime Cut 2 belongs to this range, with a profile designed for street skateboarding and skateparks.

At HawaiiSurf, the Prime Cut 2 is available in 52 mm with a durometer of 101A.

Its 20 mm contact patch is wider than that of the standard Prime Cut.

Haze Wheels 52 mm

A 52 mm Haze wheel is a highly versatile diameter for street skateboarding and skateparks.

This size keeps your board responsive and is especially suited to setups geared toward tricks.

However, diameter shouldn't be chosen on its own: a wheel's durometer and width also affect how it performs.

Haze Wheels 101A

A Haze 101A wheel falls into the hard skateboard wheel category.

This durometer is especially suited to relatively smooth surfaces, tricks, and riders looking for a responsive wheel that makes slides easier.

On very uneven ground, a softer wheel generally provides more comfort.

Haze Prime Cut 2 101A

The Haze Prime Cut 2 101A currently listed at HawaiiSurf combines a 52 mm diameter with a 101A durometer.

It uses premium urethane billed as resistant to flatspots and has a width of 33 mm with a 20 mm contact patch.

This setup is designed for street skating and skateparks.

What is a skateboard wheel's durometer?

The durometer indicates how hard a wheel is.

In skateboarding, hard wheels are generally preferred for technical street skating and skateparks thanks to their responsiveness.

Softer wheels absorb more ground imperfections, making them a good choice for cruising or getting around town.

Which Haze wheel durometer should you choose?

The choice depends mainly on the terrain.

For technical street skating and relatively smooth skatepark surfaces, a hard wheel like a 101A can offer plenty of responsiveness.

For riding on rougher surfaces or prioritizing comfort, a softer durometer may be a better fit.

Haze offers different setups to suit your needs.

Which size Haze wheels should you choose?

Smaller diameters, such as 51 or 52 mm, are especially common for street skating.

53 or 54 mm wheels offer a balance between responsiveness and maintaining speed.

Larger diameters can be a good choice for bowls, cruising, or specific setups.

The diameter should always be compatible with the trucks and the skateboard's overall height.

Haze 51 mm wheels

A 51 mm wheel is a small-diameter option that's particularly maneuverable.

It may suit skaters who prioritize technical tricks and want to keep their board low and responsive.

The trade-off generally comes down to maintaining speed and comfort on uneven surfaces.

Haze 52 mm wheels

A 52 mm wheel is a classic size for street skateboarding.

It offers a good balance of maneuverability, acceleration, and versatility.

That's the diameter of the Haze Prime Cut 2, currently available at HawaiiSurf.

Haze 53 and 54 mm wheels

Going up to 53 or 54 mm wheels gives you a little more ability to maintain speed and roll over small bumps.

These sizes are still widely used in skateboarding and can work for street skating or skateparks, depending on the shape and hardness.

Soft or hard Haze wheels?

A hard wheel generally prioritizes responsiveness and makes it easier for the board to break free during certain tricks or slides.

A softer wheel absorbs more vibrations and provides more grip.

Haze makes wheels in different hardnesses, including very hard options for skateboarding and some softer setups.

Haze wheels for tricks

For street tricks, skaters generally look for a relatively small, hard wheel.

This setup keeps the board lively and makes technical moves easier.

A Haze 52 mm 101A wheel is an example of this type of setup.

Haze wheels for slides

Hardness has a strong influence on how a wheel grips or breaks free on the ground.

A hard wheel can make it easier to initiate certain slides on a suitable surface.

The shape and width of the contact patch should also be taken into account.

What is a flat spot?

A flat spot is an area of the wheel that becomes flat due to heavy friction, especially during slides.

The wheel is no longer perfectly round and can cause vibrations while riding.

Choosing quality urethane and adapting your riding style can help limit this issue.

When should you replace your Haze wheels?

Skate wheels wear down gradually with each session.

A significant reduction in diameter, very uneven wear, cracks or pronounced flat spots may indicate that it's time for a replacement.

Lifespan depends heavily on the terrain and the way you skate.

How can you make your skateboard wheels last longer?

Regularly check the wear on all four wheels.

Rotating your wheels periodically can help distribute wear when it's uneven.

While taking them apart, also check the condition of the bearings and make sure the wheels are tightened properly.

Building a setup with Haze wheels

Your wheels should work in harmony with your entire skateboard setup.

Diameter, hardness and width should be matched with trucks and a deck suited to your riding style.

A technical street setup won't necessarily meet the same needs as a board designed for cruising.
