our mission
We want to awaken your passion to create something with your own hands - all around the subject of skateboarding. And compared to other study sets or craft kits, this workpiece won't gather dust in a shelf or display case - the greatest fun begins when the skateboard or park is done and you can finally practice tricks and have some great sessions.
For many - as well as for me - the small skateboards are an entry into a lifelong passion, a sport and even a whole subculture.
our Story
The CreateYourSkate journey began in 2002 when, as a teenager, I ambitiously crafted my first wooden fingerboards from a solid block of wood, spending days sanding them without any prior woodworking knowledge. Discovering that proper skateboards use multiple layers of wood veneer, I then created my first veneer presses. Although my initial boards were imperfect—crooked and warped—I felt immense pride in crafting something with my own hands. This experience continues to shape my life. At CreateYourSkate, we aim to share this unique feeling with as many people as possible. Over the years, we've refined our veneer presses and developed kits for anyone to achieve instant success.
Recognizing the challenge of building a professional fingerskatepark, we've also designed molds and kits for effortless construction of concrete ramps and obstacles.
