This week, we're saying the quiet part out loud, what does it really mean to be a professional fingerboarder? We break down the pathway to pro status, pulling from the skateboarding world’s blueprint and comparing it to the fast-evolving landscape of fingerboarding today. From flow teams to sponsorships, from brand accountability to royalty deals, this episode tackles the uncomfortable truths the industry doesn’t like to talk about.
We also celebrate a major milestone: Plies Magazine is now available in German, a huge step toward making fingerboarding culture more accessible worldwide.
If you’ve ever dreamed of going pro, building a team, or just want to understand what real professional fingerboarding could look like, this is the episode you need to hear.
