Our Philosophy

At Aeris, we believe that skating and fingerboarding is a creative outlet for everyone. By providing the tools you need to manufacture your own fingerboards, we want to give everyone the opportunity to craft their own professional fingerboards. We’re dedicated to crafting high quality fingerboards and equipment that inspire skaters to push the boundaries of their imagination. Our products are meticulously handmade using sustainably sourced, local woods and upcycled materials, reflecting our commitment to environmental responsibility and artistic craftsmanship.

Sustainability Approach

Aeris advocates for the approach of strong sustainability, emphasizing the irreplaceable role of natural resources in supporting human life and rejecting the notion that economic growth can compensate for environmental damage. Using upcycled wood scraps and fast growing woods, we are able to not only equalize our wood extraction by tree cultivation, but overcompensate it in the long term. By utilizing the carbon absorption and storage capacity of wood in a loop system, we strive for a positive ecological impact.

Our Team

Being skaters, BMXers and snowboarders ourselves, we are passionate about skateboarding and are committed to creating products that push the sport forward. We are based in beautiful Bolzano in South Tyrol and also maintain a close connection to Durango (Colorado), due to our backgrounds. We combine expertise in materials science, design, and sustainability. Zoey contributes additional proficiency in feel-good-management and turns rough days into ruff days.

Local Supply Chain

We support sustainable forestry practices by using apple tree veneers from trees growing less than 20 minutes away from us. We also utilize wood scraps from various local sources, preventing them from being burned and contributing to waste. We manufacture our fingerboards where we are based, in South Tyrol.

Natural Glue

Our R&D is focused on replacing formaldehyde and isocyanate with sustainable alternatives, enabling a fully chemical-free board construction. For now, we use fish glue to bind our decks. Fish glue is a purely natural product that is obtained by boiling and evaporating wastes of the cod industry. It’s the only natural glue that offers a strong, long-lasting bond and rivals chemical adhesives, ensuring the performance we need.We are well aware that fish glue isn't vegan. However, it's the most responsible choice compared to the long-term effects of chemical glues on animal and human health. Chemical glues can contain harmful toxins that can potentially leak into the environment, severely impacting wildlife.
