Close Up x EMPR Complete Fingerboard - Ephemeral Black

Support Your Local

The Close Up x EMPR - Ephemeral Complete is more than a miniature; it's a tribute to skate culture. Born from the collaboration between the legendary French brand Close Up and Empire Skateshop, this set offers an unbeatable price-to-quality ratio for demanding beginners and desk-skating technicians alike.

Construction & Performance

Premium materials for realistic sensations:

• Real Maple Deck: Forget plastic. This deck is crafted from 5 plies of maple wood for authentic "pop." With dimensions of 34mm width by 98mm length and a medium concave, it provides the ideal catching surface for your flips.

• Precision Components: The set includes printed wheels with CNC bearings for a smooth, silent ride, mounted on 34mm wide trucks that ensure perfect stability during grinds.

• "Ephemeral" Aesthetic: The intense black graphic features a flowering skull and the "EMPR" logo, a dark and romantic art direction exclusive to this collab.

Complete DIY Kit

• Self-Assembly: Just like a real skateboard, you get all the parts. The kit includes the tool, locking nuts, screws, silicon bushings, and washers.

• Grip Tape Included: A rectangular sheet of "Riptape" (foam grip) is provided for you to position and cut yourself for a custom fit.

The "Desktop Session" Tip

The provided foam grip (Riptape) is far superior to standard sandpaper: it offers more grip and is gentler on your fingers. Take your time to file down the edges of the grip during assembly for a pro finish (use the side of a screwdriver or a file to "cut" the foam against the wood edge).
