Upcoming Fingerboard Drops and Releases: What to Watch in 2026
Share
Fingerboarding continues to thrive in 2026 with fresh decks, wheels, completes, and obstacles from the scene's biggest names. While exact drop dates for many limited releases are often announced via Instagram or brand sites (and sell out fast), here's a roundup of popular brands and what's new or on the horizon based on recent activity.
Teak Tuning (US-Based Staple)
Teak Tuning remains a go-to for beginners and pros alike with affordable, high-quality completes, tuning parts, and obstacles.
- Recent/Current Highlights: 2026 Fingerboard Con gear (limited edition items) is available while supplies last. New PROlific Series completes just dropped in multiple shapes and sizes. Apex wheels continue to expand with new colorways and durometers (e.g., New Street shapes in Flo Glo Green, Geode Series).
- What's Next: Keep an eye on their blog and shop for more Session obstacles and deck graphic wraps. They drop new products regularly — check teaktuning.com frequently.
FlatFace Fingerboards (Longtime Innovator)
FlatFace has been a pillar since 2003, known for handmade decks, pro models, and consistent new arrivals.
- Recent Releases: Tons of new G16 decks (32mm–36mm) including pro models (e.g., Rodrigo Guerrero, Henry Hochhauser, Scott Biesboer, Mike Schneider) in Real Wear graphics. Special editions like 4th of July hand-numbered decks. New Blistered urethane wheels (G4-BR collabs with Blackriver, glitter variants) and more.
- Ongoing: "Check back daily for new items!" Wheels drop weekly in many cases. Events like Fingerboard Rendezvous and store sessions provide chances to see/test gear in person.
Blackriver & Berlinwood (German Powerhouses)
Blackriver (founded 1999) and sister brand Berlinwood dominate with pro-level ramps, trucks (BRTs), wheels, and handmade wooden decks.
- Recent Activity: Spring drops with limited boards, Cyber Madness sales, and event tie-ins like Fast Fingers 22 (June 2026). Berlinwood offers pro models, collector's editions (e.g., Assmuth Retro), and various concaves/sizes (29–36mm).
- What to Expect: Regular restocks of ramps (Stairsets, Mini 2, etc.), trucks, and graphics. Watch their blog and shop for anniversary or event-limited releases. Blackriver often teases via Instagram.
Other Notable Brands & Smaller Drops
- Slushcult: New drops every Friday — decks, ramps, and collabs (e.g., with LTF or Cowply). Known for fun graphics and shop sessions.
- December Fingerboards: Handmade in Argentina. Next major drop mentioned around September 2026 at retailers like FlatFace (US) and FBS (EU), though they announced a break for much of 2026 after strong prior years.
- Dynamic, Joycult, Cowply, Caramel, etc.: Dynamic trucks frequently restock in new colorways. Smaller makers like Slushcult, Joycult, and others drop limited runs — follow their Instagrams for announcements.
Pro Tip: Many brands (especially limited drops) announce via Instagram (@teaktuning, @flatfaceig, @blackriver_official, etc.) or Discord communities. Sign up for newsletters and follow event pages like Fingerboard Rendezvous for hands-on access.
