Frequently asked questions.

A fingerboard is a working miniature skateboard, usually about 96–100mm long and 29–36mm wide, that you ride with two fingers. Pro fingerboards use real wooden decks, metal trucks, and urethane wheels on bearings — so they actually roll, pop, and grind like a real board.

Tech Decks are mass-produced plastic toys sold in multipacks. The wooden completes we stock use real maple decks, metal trucks with tunable bushings, and urethane wheels on bearings — they roll, pop and grind far better. See our Fingerboard vs Tech Deck guide for a full comparison.

34mm is the most popular and versatile width and the best all-round starting point. 32mm is more nimble and technical; 36mm is wider and more stable. Our Fingerboard Sizing Guide breaks down each width and who it suits.

A complete is a ready-to-ride fingerboard: a deck, a set of trucks (with bushings and lock nuts), wheels with bearings, and grip tape — assembled and tuned. Add it to cart and skate it out of the box.
