Over the course of many years fingerboard decks have gone through many changes. From what started as a plastic toy has evolved into a high quality piece of art, using real wood and carefully crafted shapes. This article will explore the various shapes and sizes of the fingerboards we offer here at Dynamic.
Every one of our decks are hand crafted in-house at our warehouse in Los Angeles, CA using our new mold that features medium kicks, medium-low concave, with smooth dips. These fingerboard decks are created with 5 plys of maple, and precisely shaped, sanded, and drilled. The noses are slightly wider and longer than the tail of the deck. The tail tappers thinner with a lower kick than the nose. This resembles how a typical skateboard is shaped.
We also offer a number of unique graphics, designed by a variation of incredible artists, that are real-wear heat transferred onto the deck just like a skateboard. As you use the deck, the graphic will wear away, giving the realistic look and feel of a skateboard.
All of our deck sizes are 97mm in height. Most modern decks are within a few millimeters of this height. Some people enjoy longer or shorter decks based on their own personal preference. Here at Dynamic, this is the preferred length. In-terms of width we offer five different deck sizes 26mm, 29mm, 32mm, 34mm, and 36mm.
The 26mm is the thinnest deck we make. Some riders in the fingerboard community really enjoy this width because it brings them back to the days when skinnier decks were much more common. They can be easier to flip due to the thinner width, but it all ends up being personal preference! Both the 32mm and 34mm widths are the most popular sizes in the fingerboard community at the moment. A 32mm deck is a great medium width that performs well all-around without being too wide. In the case of the 34mm, some people prefer the wider trucks and wider deck to have a larger area for grinding and landing. All the widths perform very well, but it ends up being personal preference to truly determine what you like riding!
