🇨🇦 The Best Canadian Fingerboard Brands & Accessories
Share
Canada might not be the first country that comes to mind when you think about fingerboarding. For skateboarders, Canada has always been a go-to destination for the very highest-quality maple. The entire skateboard and fingerboard industry would not be where it is today without this exceptional timber.
Germany has Blackriver. The USA has FlatFace, Dynamic, Goo, and a huge number of independent makers. Japan has developed its own distinctive scene. But look a little closer at the Canadian fingerboard community and you will find something rather impressive.
Canada has produced some genuinely excellent deck makers, wheel manufacturers, accessory brands, and, perhaps just as importantly, shops that have helped build the Canadian scene.
From Toronto to Montreal and Vancouver to Manitoba, Canadian fingerboarding has developed a strong independent identity.
Here are some of the Canadian brands and makers we think deserve attention in 2026.
🥇 Piro Wheels: Toronto, Ontario
If we are talking about Canadian fingerboard accessories, Piro Wheels has to be near the top of the list.
Based in Toronto, Piro began with a focus on premium handmade fingerboard wheels and has developed a reputation for producing wheels designed to replicate the look and feel of real skateboard wheels. The company describes its products as handcrafted by its small Toronto-based team.
Piro's wheels use urethane and are available in a number of shapes, including Performance, Bowl, Mini, and other specialised designs. Many of the current wheels use 65D urethane and locked ABEC-9 bearings.
But Piro has also expanded beyond wheels.
The company now produces its own wooden fingerboard decks, with models available in 29mm, 32mm, and 34mm widths and a 97mm length.
Why we like Piro
Premium wheels, realistic shapes, excellent bearings, and increasingly interesting decks.
For anyone wanting a distinctly Canadian setup, Piro is an obvious place to start.
🥈 Maple Wheels: Quebec
Maple Wheels is another Canadian name that has become closely associated with high-end fingerboard wheels.
Manufactured in Quebec, Maple specialises in urethane wheels and has developed several distinctive shapes, including its ULTRA and BOWL designs. Current information lists the wheels at roughly 7.6–9mm in diameter, with bearing-equipped urethane wheels aimed firmly at the premium end of the market.
Maple has also developed a strong reputation among riders looking for durable urethane wheels with a distinctive feel.
The choice between Maple and Piro is therefore less about finding a universally “better” wheel and more about deciding which shape, hardness, and riding characteristics suit you.
Why we like Maple
A genuinely Canadian premium wheel manufacturer with its own identity.
If you are building a high-end setup, Maple should absolutely be on your shortlist.
🥉 Bloob Fingerboards
Bloob is one of the more interesting Canadian companies because it is not restricted to a single component.
The current Bloob range includes decks, trucks, wheels, and tuning accessories, making it possible to build a substantial part of a complete setup around the brand.
The company currently offers its own trucks, spare hangers and baseplates, numerous wheel colours and formulas, decks, and several specialised tools.
That makes Bloob particularly interesting for riders who enjoy experimenting with different components rather than simply buying a complete.
Why we like Bloob
A genuine Canadian multi-component brand.
Bloob demonstrates how the Canadian scene is not simply about importing European and American equipment. Canadian makers are developing their own trucks, wheels, decks, and accessories.
🇨🇦 Kamelpro Fingerboards: Montreal
Montreal has produced some fantastic fingerboard makers, and Kamelpro Fingerboards is one of them.
Kamelpro describes itself as a small company located in Montréal, Québec. Its decks and obstacles are handmade, with decks hydraulically pressed in professional metal moulds before being precisely cut and finished by hand.
The brand produces decks, trucks, wheels, tuning accessories, and completes, while also creating obstacles using materials such as granite and marble.
Some Kamelpro decks are deliberately produced in very small quantities. One Mini-Logo release, for example, was limited to only ten decks.
That handmade and limited-production approach gives Kamelpro a very different character from larger commercial brands.
Why we like Kamelpro
Handmade construction, unusual obstacles, and a strong independent identity.
It is exactly the sort of small manufacturer that makes the Canadian scene interesting.
🇨🇦 Nosco Fingerboards
Nosco is another Canadian brand worth knowing, particularly for riders who appreciate distinctive graphics and a strong local identity.
The current Nosco catalogue includes decks such as the NOSCO X RYSE, MTL Remastered, Chipped, and Cracked, alongside tape and other merchandise.
Nosco also appeared among the Canadian-made brands highlighted by 902 Fingerboard Store during its August 2026 reopening, alongside ChanaBoardCollective and 6Skates.
Why we like Nosco
Strong graphics and a recognisable Canadian identity.
Nosco is a good example of a brand where the graphic design and culture surrounding the product are just as important as the physical deck.
🇨🇦 Maple Leaf Fingerboards: Manitoba
One of the more intriguing Canadian makers is Maple Leaf Fingerboards.
The brand is run by Julien and has reportedly been making fingerboards in Manitoba since 2012. Its current focus is handmade wooden decks and small tuning accessories, with made-to-order decks available in multiple moulds and widths.
Current listings show decks ranging from approximately 26mm to 32mm, with the brand positioned firmly in the handmade and artisan category.
Why we like Maple Leaf
Longevity.
A maker that has been producing fingerboards for well over a decade deserves recognition in an industry where many small brands appear and disappear remarkably quickly.
🇨🇦 Kali Fingerboards: Montreal
Another Montreal-based maker worth checking out is Kali Fingerboards.
Kali describes itself as a company focused on combining creativity and engineering, producing unique fingerboard decks and realistic obstacles inspired by actual skateboard spots.
Everything is handcrafted in Montreal, and the range includes both decks and concrete-style obstacles.
The brand is particularly interesting for riders who enjoy more experimental designs and realistic skate-spot-inspired obstacles.
Why we like Kali
Creative design combined with handmade Canadian manufacturing.
Kali is another example of how much variety exists within the Montreal fingerboard scene.
🇨🇦 Board Kennel
Board Kennel is one of the names with genuine history in Canadian fingerboarding.
The company was producing fingerboards in Canada long before today's explosion of independent makers. Its early presence in the Canadian scene was significant enough that Canadian skate retailer CalStreets highlighted Board Kennel as a major contributor to the growth of fingerboarding locally.
Board Kennel continues to appear in Canadian fingerboard retail, with 6Skates currently listing its products as handmade in Canada.
Why we like Board Kennel
History and longevity.
Not every important brand is necessarily the newest or most hyped. Board Kennel represents part of the foundation of Canadian fingerboarding.
🇨🇦 6Skates: Toronto
Technically, 6Skates is primarily a shop rather than simply a fingerboard manufacturer, but it would be impossible to write an article about Canadian fingerboarding without mentioning it.
6Skates operates a dedicated fingerboard shop in Toronto and sells its own products alongside a huge selection of international brands. The company describes itself as Canada's dedicated fingerboard shop.
Its own range includes completes, decks, trucks, wheels, and grip tape, while the store carries brands from around the world.
6Skates has also become an important part of the Canadian community through events and its physical location.
Why we like 6Skates
Accessibility and community.
A strong local shop is hugely important to a scene. It gives Canadian riders somewhere to discover products, meet other fingerboarders, and actually see equipment in person.
🇨🇦 ChanaBoardCollective
ChanaBoardCollective is another Canadian maker appearing in the current Canadian scene.
The brand was specifically highlighted alongside Nosco and 6Skates by 902 Fingerboard Store as one of the Canadian-made brands it carries.
It may not have the international recognition of some of Canada's larger names yet, but that is exactly why independent brands like this deserve attention.
Why we like ChanaBoardCollective
Independent Canadian manufacturing and potential.
The next major Canadian brand could easily be a company that many international riders have not discovered yet.
🇨🇦 Do Not Forget the Canadian Accessories
One of the strongest aspects of Canadian fingerboarding is the number of companies working beyond decks.
Wheels
Canada is particularly strong here.
Piro Wheels and Maple Wheels are probably the two names most immediately associated with premium Canadian urethane, while Bloob also offers its own range of wheels.
And that is important because wheels can completely change the character of a setup.
A different diameter, shape, width, or urethane formula can alter:
- Speed
- Grip
- Squeak
- Slide
- Stability
- Weight
- Overall realism
So if you have spent a fortune on a deck but are still using basic plastic wheels, upgrading the wheels may be one of the biggest improvements you can make.
Trucks
Bloob is particularly interesting in this category because it produces its own trucks, including spare hangers and baseplates.
6Skates also produces its own performance-shop trucks, currently available in different widths and colours.
Canada therefore is not just producing decks and wheels. There is also genuine development happening around hardware.
Grip Tape and Tuning
Canadian retailers and brands also provide plenty of options for tuning a setup.
6Skates carries grip tape and tuning equipment, while Bloob offers its own tuning products and specialised tools.
For Canadian riders, the obvious advantage is that buying domestically can make a significant difference to shipping costs and delivery times compared with ordering every component from Europe or Asia.
🇨🇦 The Canadian Fingerboard Advantage
So what makes Canadian fingerboarding interesting?
For us, it is the combination of quality and independence.
Canada sits next to one of the world's largest fingerboarding markets, the United States, while also having relatively easy access to European and international brands.
That creates an interesting environment.
Canadian makers do not necessarily need to copy European brands.
They can take inspiration from the enormous US skateboarding culture, combine it with Canadian manufacturing, and develop their own products.
And that seems to be exactly what is happening.
From premium urethane wheels to handmade decks, CNC trucks, realistic obstacles, and independent graphics, there is considerably more happening in Canada than many people outside the country realise.

The Future Looks Very Canadian
Perhaps the most exciting thing about Canadian fingerboarding is not any individual brand.
It is the depth of the scene.
There are established manufacturers, newer independent makers, premium wheel companies, shops, parks, and community-driven businesses operating across the country.
And because fingerboarding remains small enough for independent makers to have a genuine influence, a one-person workshop in Montreal or Manitoba can potentially develop a product that ends up on a rider's setup on the other side of the world.
That is what makes fingerboarding so interesting.
You do not necessarily need to be the biggest company.
You need to make something people genuinely want to ride.
And Canada is proving that it has plenty of people capable of doing exactly that.
