Description

The Dad Bod shouldn’t be able to keep up. Look at it: 105mm of soft, comfortable urethane, clearly past its athletic prime, probably wearing sandals. And yet there it goes, cruising past everyone at the beach without breaking a sweat, covering absurd distance per push. It’s kinda like cheating.

The secret is our TrypoCore, a high-strength, high-stiffness, heat-resistant urethane core that keeps all that wheel to a shockingly light 428 grams. Wrapped in our Happy Thane formula for plush rebound and smooth roll, the Dad Bod turns rough roads into a mild suggestion.

Long-distance pushing, e-skate, marathon pumping: the Dad Bod is built for going far with minimal effort. Just add risers.

It's Right for You if…
  • You measure rides in miles, not minutes, and want every push to go indecently far.
  • You ride an electric longboard and want range, comfort, and roll speed in one wheel.
  • You’re not scared of riser pads and a little extra ride height.

Absurd Distance Per Push

105mm of diameter means huge roll speed and momentum that keeps going long after your legs have stopped.

TrypoCore

Our proprietary high-strength, high-stiffness, heat-resistant urethane core keeps the Dad Bod shockingly light for its size: 428 grams per wheel.

Happy Thane Formula

Plush, lively, high-rebound urethane that absorbs bumps and vibration so rough pavement reads as smooth.

Rolls Over Everything

Cracks, pebbles, curb cuts, questionable pavement decisions: at this diameter, most obstacles are beneath notice. Rounded lips with surface skin keep the ride grippy and composed.

Just Add Risers

At 105mm, wheel clearance is a real conversation. Riser pads are not optional; think of them as the Dad Bod’s orthopedic insoles.

Reviews

"Super grip, fast free roll, super fun"

— Ryan (5/5)

mod setup

"I use a 42" vanguard for dog joring and these wheels are efficient and stable and run over giant cracks in the pavement. They don't turn tho, so I run 57 degrees with soft bushings and raised the deck, and dropped the wheelbase 4. 25". Now theyre great. They're worth it, but you'll have to mod your setup."

— Yuki (5/5)

Corners tearing off - 1 Month after purchase

"These wheels are great! Exactly as advertised. Grips well, rides smooth! My reason for a 2 star review is that I have only owned these wheels for a month and they are already failing. The corner of one of the wheels is already tearing off! I do not see a warranty policy for these wheels either. Disappointed, feels like money wasted. I wish I could keep riding these wheels, they truly do perform fantastic and exceeded my expectations the moment I first used them."

— Chelsea W. (2/5)

"Big, comfortable, and grippy. My only complaint is that the size of the wheel really limit how fun they are. The bees knees do a better job of being nimble while still being pretty sizeable."

— Dylan (4/5)

Wonderful ride on Boosted Board!

"I purchased these wheels right when they came out, with no intention of using them on my electric Boosted Board. Much to my surprise, these are the best wheels I could have asked for! They fit perfectly on the Loaded board and even have the same look as the original Boosted wheels from factory. I wouldn't see a reason why you shouldn't buy these."

— Joe (5/5)

Free-roll & grip are amazing

"The 77a wheels are great for eskate, used them on a Tynee Mini 3 Max, fantastic grip & acceleration, phenomenal free-roll, and surprisingly good impact absorption, they look great too & they get alot of compliments. They give good feedback of the road without it turning into a harsh ride, though going over sidewalks for long distances may start to tire your legs. Overall great purchase."

— Mike E. (5/5)

Made to get over everything

"I have these wheels on my Flex Paragon! They are savage! I love having that street carving vibe with the satisfaction of being able to roll over anything is mad naughty!! 🤪💯❤️"

— Morgan w. (5/5)

Unstop

"My favorite longboard wheel in all my 40 plus years of skating. I prefer double drop decks lately and finding them that will fit these wheels was a little challenging but they are out there."

— Mark M. (5/5)

Absolutely amazing

"I have both Caguamas and in heats on two of my longboard so when I purchased an Evolve carbon GTR e-board it was a no brainer and I have to say these wheels are fantastic and far surpassed my expectations. They give a fantastic smooth ride experience with that long board feel with loads of roll and big enough to roll over anything that gets in their way I’m a huge fan of your products I’ve been skating for over 40years and I have only in the last few years started riding longboards & discovered orangutan wheels as I always rode short boards but will be riding your products for many years to come as they just keep getting better and better many thanks."

Ripping Blue Dad Bods on a SurfSkate!

"I live in a Colorado mountain town and want to SurfSkate through the winter. There is gravel everywhere. The Blue Dad Bods smooth out rough terrain and chunky gravel!"
