Finga: The World Champion Who Makes Every Deck Himself

Finga Fingerboards is the handmade Czech deck brand Petr Ptáček has run since around 2005. It is one of the purest maker stories in fingerboarding: the founder is also the only person who cuts, grinds, glues, colors, and packs the boards.^1, 2

Ptáček isn't just a maker — he's a three-time Fast Fingers world champion (2013–2015), which makes Finga the rare brand designed by someone operating at the absolute top of the sport. That dual identity — champion and craftsman — gives the decks unusual credibility, and the brand has kept its handmade values even as the scene professionalized around it.^1, 2

Finga's pioneering is the fusion of elite riding and solo craft — the boards are shaped by the same hands that won world titles.

Finga is what happens when the best rider in the world also runs the workshop. It set a high bar for credibility in handmade decks — and showed that one person, in the Czech Republic, can be both champion and brand.^1, 2
