Jeremy Canuto - Owner
Jeremy Canuto is the CEO, Founder, and Owner of Saigon Skateboards (also branded as Cosa Nostra in some contexts), a handmade skateboard and fingerboard business based in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam.
From his public profiles and posts, Jeremy made a bold career shift: he left a high-level corporate role as a Director to pursue his passion for skate culture. He started Saigon Skateboards, focusing on crafting custom, handmade skateboards, fingerboards (miniature finger-sized skateboards for tricks and collecting), and related gear. The business emphasizes individuality, craftsmanship, and community—offering custom work, new collections (like the 2026 New Collection fingerboard comps), raw decks, completes with wheels/decks, and unique designs priced in VND (e.g., around 299,000–499,000 VND for fingerboard setups).
Key highlights from his journey and the brand:
Handmade focus — He personally handles processes like sanding, deburring holes, pressing boards (including cold-pressed DIY methods), and creating customs. Posts show recent custom work, unboxings of Vietnam's finest fingerboard craftsmanship, and productive weekends in the workshop.
Skatepark dream — Jeremy has been building toward (or has built) a skatepark as part of his vision, turning his life dream into a new career.
Community & support — Shoutouts to supporters are common, with New Year messages hoping for another busy year. The brand positions itself as "as individual as you are," with fresh stock, wheels, and daily customs.
Online presence — Active on Instagram (@jeremy.canuto for personal, @saigonskateboards for the brand), Facebook (Saigon Skateboards page), LinkedIn (where he shares his transition story), and a shop at saigonskateboards.com with 100+ products.
This ties perfectly into the handmade ethos: after corporate life drained the soul out of days (spreadsheets, suits, endless metrics), Jeremy chose hands-on creation—shaping wood, testing grinds, building community through skate culture. It's real rebellion against mass-produced stuff, pouring intention into every deck or fingerboard so riders feel the story in their setup.
If you're into skate, fingerboarding, or just love stories of ditching the 9-to-5 for something authentic in Vietnam, check his feeds—full of workshop clips, customs, and that pure maker energy.
