Hope it stays that way. Didn't hear about any surprises yet with dutys, but that would be out of my control.

Thank you all ❤️❤️❤️

With great pleasure I present you some of the boards with designs by Wille

Check his amazing tattoo art. He's also an OG fingerboard legend with great style, tricks and personality! Glad to see him still riding and sharing clips from time to time. This collab happened pretty naturally, as all good things tend to go.

All sizes are beautiful.
I tend to make 34mm boards the most, I rode them and you get them the most. But alot of people request other dimensions and I usually have some with each drop.

Basically every mm is covered from 29 to 37. They are not exactly 34mm for example, but usually 34.5mm so it's wider or the same width as the trucks with wheels. I think 30, 32.5 and 34.5 will become the standard sizes.

What's your favourite dimension?

Happy winter solstice.
The darkest day of the year. Now it will get brighter again. Light a candle, share time with your closest.
Have a fingerboard session, it's Go Fingerboard Day!

It's a community thing, innit?

If you want, please share your favourite fingerboard moment of this year in the comments. Would love to read what awesome memories you made.

Printing new Molds. The mold is exactly the same since 2003, here I just changed the marking for the holes to the bottom of the mold. It will be more precise, since it marks where the trucks will touch the board, less chance for any funky angles. Also it will be more clean, the entry hole is the cleanest, the exit hole will be cleaned up by the countersink.

For years I was microadjusting the mold, slightly changing angles and dimensions, sometimes by a fraction of a mm. The last two years I feel like the vision for this mold is finished.
What will come next? I have experimented eith different molds, deep concave, no concave and kicks with concave. It's all fun, but it's. abit aimless at the moment. But i'll share future tests here and maybe with your input we can develop something nice.

Thank you all for the support. It means alot to me. It's nice to see the local scene growing and I feel blesse to help bring people together. It's an amazing community. Let's not ruin a good thing.

Fingerboards.

If you have seen the recent stories, you know that these are some of the first boards this year. It has not always been easy, but it's such a good feeling to have them ready.

I was not able to go to my workshop for a lomg time, couldn't move to surgery and a slow recovery. I had no motivation, energy nor the soace and tools to make boards. These were sanded and finished in the last sunny autumn days on the balcony.
So happy to share this. It's a big milestone for me this year.

There are alot of things happening in our nice little scene, alot of good things and things I see critically. Don't forget what it's about, keep it real. Don't believe the hype, stay critical. I try not to bu****it you with sh*tty giveaways or special deals, I don't put out a new variant of a product every other week to keep you buying the newest thing. This mold, my only mold for now, took about 5 years to finish, I was always microadjusting things to make them exactly how I want them.

It's a community thing.
Thank you.
