King Size Fingerboards first appeared in 2009 as an idea to create our own, self made and optimized fingerboards. In fact, we didn't even had the name back than.
After several sessions of trying out different materials and procedures, "Low Shape" and "Medium Shape" models were born. Hooked up on this first success we got deeper into the technics and kept on optimizing.
Today, we use professional CNC molds with an extreme hardness degree. This new technology allows us to produce the new "Royal Shape" - never out of size. Keeping hold on our high quality approach, we only use over the top material for our boards.
The thereby created 4 ply decks get shipped with a sheet of tape and a set of stickers after our internal quality control.
and some pictures:
King Size Graphic Deck, at the moment we have 5 designs online
King Size Blank Decks in red, yellow, purple, green and blue

We build a new blog at our website. Now you can get all the latest news about King Size Fingerboards on the new blog. Infos about the new Tape there and more coming soon ...stay tuned...

The new V one bearing wheels are out now!
It’s the first version of a new line of wheels. These wheels are rotated on a lathe for more precision and they don’t have any mold marks. They have high quality bearing that roll very smooth and long. You can use them on all trucks that are available.
I cant find these wholesale anywhere, but if china has lathed bearing wheels, I will be a sad panda Still, those are 20 dollars.. 22.50 gets you a set of no comply roll 9s! way better
christian, are your new wheels brought from a wholesaler or did you get them manufactured yourself?

I worked together with my china manufactory on these wheels. For company like King Size its way to expensive to produce bearing wheels here in germany. I know a lot of people think that china wheels are kinda "sellout". But these work really nice and smooth. I worked with them on design and helped them find the right bearings. Other companies probably can get those wheels too, but we do something special to these wheels that I can´t share here with you. Sorry guys but that company secret :-)
oh and kerry please don't be a sad panda :-) panda´s are never sad

Yes we are always honest about our products. There are other company out there that buy china stuff and let it look like they made it them self. We are not up for this kinda crap. Our main focus is on your decks and I can ensure you they are 100% handmade by myself. Wheels are something extra and I think with have some great wheels now on our store.

that's really cool of you to be honest, and I think seeming as the price isn't bad, and you've put work into these to make them different and personal compared to normal 'china' wheels, these aren't too much of a bad thing!
just featured them on unitefingerboarding.com

The carbon decks caught my eye. But I was never interested in buying one, maybe make a carbon cruiser? I'd so buy one! I could get an average carbon deck from Nollie Wheels.
