From Scrappy DIY to Fingerboard Fame!

Jake Simms, aka @Jakepfb, is shaking up the fingerboarding scene straight out of Southern California. Fueled by faith and a relentless passion for the craft, he’s built a name for himself across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, dropping tutorials, trick requests, and skits that keep the community hyped.

His journey started when a friend handed him a wooden fingerboard. With zero knowledge of big-name brands, he went full DIY—crafting obstacles from whatever he could scavenge. YouTube introduced him to Chubymuffin, Kelsey Fingerboards, and Kalye Decks, sparking his content creation journey. After stepping away for a bit, a conversation about The Slushcult Mini Mart pulled him back in, and he’s been pushing forward ever since.

As his content took off, companies came knocking. Now, Jake is sponsored by Kalye Decks, Teak Tuning, and Piro Wheels. He’s got his own Pro Model deck with Kalye Decks (three graphics deep) and signature bushings with Teak Tuning.

Some of his wildest memories include traveling to Germany for Fast Fingers 21, touring ASI Berlin, and kicking it with Blackriver. Another standout moment? Getting blindsided—in the best way—when Christian from Kalye Decks surprised him with his Pro Model deck in front of friends.

Now, Jake is cooking up a collab graphic with Fb.Christopher and Blackriver, designed by Christian from Kalye Decks.
