Cosa Nostra Boards
Cosa Nostra
Italian for "Our Thing." This is ours.
We started Saigon Skateboards because we couldn't find fingerboards that felt right. The pop was wrong. The wood was cheap. The graphics were slapped on and forgotten. So we stopped looking and started making.
Cosa Nostra is what we built.
The Boards
Every Cosa Nostra deck starts as raw wood and ends as something no one else has. We press, shape, and sand each one by hand — working through progressively finer grits, finishing at 4,000 — until the surface is glass-smooth and the pop is explosive.
We work with woods that most fingerboard makers never touch. Canadian maple is our foundation. But we also build in ebony, spalted maple, ash, and exotic burls — each with its own grain pattern, density, and character. That's not marketing. That's just what happens when you care about the material.
No two Cosa Nostra boards are identical. The wood grain alone guarantees that. But we go further — hand-painted graphics, engraved details, beeswax-soaked finishes, and shapes built for how you actually ride.
Custom Orders
This is where we do our best work.
Tell us what you want. Width, concave, wood species, graphic concept, finish, complete setup or deck only. We've built boards for collectors, for serious riders, for gifts, and for people who just wanted something nobody else has. We can do relic finishes that look like they've been ridden for decades. We can press shapes outside standard sizing. We can build to your style, your hands, your tricks.
Custom orders ship worldwide. Lead time depends on complexity — reach out and we'll tell you exactly what's possible.
Why It Matters
The fingerboard market is full of mass-produced decks with new graphics on the same mold, made in the same factory, sold by the same handful of distributors. There's nothing wrong with that — but it's not what we do.
Cosa Nostra exists because some people want more. A board that performs, not just looks good on a shelf. A board that nobody else owns. A board made by someone who actually cares whether it's right.
We've been skating for over 40 years. We know what a good board should feel like under your fingers. That knowledge goes into every single one we make.
