Enjoy playing on this tournament style and speed crokinole board, handcrafted in Canada with premium select Canadian Maple MDF.
The playing surface is a glassy smooth, 26-inch marvel with clean UV lines and scoring numbers printed beneath the finish. The multi-step lacquering and buffing process applied to this board ensures a consistent, very smooth playing surface for a fun game of crokinole. The finish itself on the board is furniture grade, meaning that it is thicker than most tournament boards on the market and will last longer.
Everyone and anyone who plays on this board will enjoy the latex-covered posts which provide an amazing bounce, sometimes landing the crokinole disc in the middle 20-point hole after both calculated or non-calculated shots!
The back of the board is painted entirely black with a white checkerboard gracing the center. Permanent feet are installed on the bottom for complete stabilization of the board.

The Story Behind The Crokinole Canada Board
Ted Fuller of Crokinole Canada decided to venture out and improve various features on tournament-style Crokinole boards. That was the simple premise behind the development of the highly-anticipated Crokinole Canada board.
The board itself is a result of much customer feedback. Questions coming from customers perusing Crokinole Canada’s showroom at 5 Industrial Road and online were something like this: “Where are the numbers on these boards?” and “Is there checkers on the back of this board?” It made Ted stop and think that it was time to introduce a new board in the crokinole board arena. With that in mind, he contacted his brother-in-law and his brother-in-law’s business partner to come up with something amazing - something that would bring Crokinole back as a 21st Century Game.
To do so, Ted brought 2 tournament-level boards meeting NCA specifications to the craftsmen in order to achieve tournament size specifications and add some winning crokinole board traits which were missing from existing tournament-style boards.
This is the first time that a tournament-style board integrates crisp, smaller scoring numbers for games up to 100. Many traditional crokinole players are comfortable playing with that point system as they grew up doing so (I know I grew up using the 5, 10, 15, 20 point system). The board also includes the traditional chess / checkers board on the back and pegs covered in latex on the front. The pegs are just the right height so the board can be flipped over and lay flat for a game of checkers or chess as well. The lines on this board are permanently printed with UV light. The round style of this board makes it easy to separate discs during rounds. In essence, Ted tried to think of everything good and what was lacking in boards these days and combine it all into one, well-built, Canadian-made crokinole board!
And that my friends, is the story behind The Crokinole Canada Board. We have had tons of fun coming up with this board and trust that it will afford you many hours of sweet memories and enjoyment.
Enjoy playing on this super fun, smooth surfaced tournament-style Crokinole Board!
