Um – BoardThing

Skateboard-Leben …

Außerhalb der Skateboard-Kultur ist vielen Leuten nicht bewusst, dass die Lebensdauer eines Skateboarddecks bei professioneller Nutzung ziemlich kurz ist (manchmal beträgt sie nur ein paar Wochen oder sogar ein paar Tage).

Jeden Tag produzieren Tausende von Skatern in Europa große Mengen Holzabfälle, die wir sammeln und unserer Leidenschaft entsprechend kreativ nutzen möchten. Kanadischer Ahorn, aus dem die Boards hergestellt werden, ist ein Material mit hohem ästhetischen und praktischen Wert. Inspiriert von diesen Tatsachen haben wir BoardThing geschaffen – handgefertigte Ringe aus ausrangierten Skateboards.

Piotr and Sebastian grew up on skateboards, each carving his own path but driven by the same energy - the freedom, creativity, and community that skateboarding gives.
Together, they carry more than 20 years on a board, countless memories, falls, wins, and the quiet wisdom that comes from dedicating yourself to something you love.

Sebastian, raised in Kraków, spent his early life mastering the streets and became atwo-time Polish champion in the street category. His journey with BoardThing opened the door to a new chapter - one built on freedom and purpose. It led him to the mountains of Rabka-Zdrój, where he now lives surrounded by nature. Here, in a peaceful mountain setting, lies the BoardThing workshop - the heart of the brand.

Piotr, a craftsman at soul, has spent most of his life shaping wood, creating things slowly and intentionally. He transforms discarded skateboard decks into rings, letting their stories live on through color, texture, and form. His love for mountains, snowboarding, and photography inspires the aesthetic and sensitivity behind every piece created at BoardThing.

Together, they share a deep passion for outdoor life, adventure, craftsmanship, and sustainability.
They believe that meaningful things are not mass-produced - they are shaped slowly, by hand, with respect for the materials and for the stories they carry.

BoardThing is more than jewelry. It’s a tribute to the culture that shaped them, the mountains they call home, and the belief that even something broken can be reborn into something beautiful.

Every ring reflects that journey - from skateboard deck to a piece of wearable art created in a small workshop in the southern Polish mountains.
