Dahlberg is another legendary shaper who has made boards for champions - Insight label for Barton Lynch, I think Occhilupo has had boards from him too. MC made boards for Tom Curren.I remember BASE in Torquay. I worked in Melbourne for 4 years from 2005-2009. After the airlines completely destroyed one of my boards I bought a few boards from BASE off the rack. This is unusual for me since I typically order custom or make my own.
I had never seen anything like BASE - hundreds and hundreds of boards to fondle. And they moved them through pretty fast so there was always fresh stock moving through. I still have a couple of Dahlbergs and a Simon Anderson I got at BASE which go real good.
As I recall they closed shop sometime in 2011, right? I think I bought my last SA for my youngest son in 2010. It's actually am overseas epoxy but it is bulletproof and he still rides it occasionally.
Nothing like that in NW USA, so I'm back to customs - usually from CA shapers.
Maurice Cole talks about BASE for the first time | Surfpolitik | SwellnetWas that the problem, or was their malfeasance involved?
The business model seems to make sense from a logistics efficiency point of view. The shapers were geographically distributed across Oz, e.g MC in Vic, SA in NSW, Luke Short (Qld), but with shaping machines that shouldn't have mattered.
ive talked Murray Bourton about base and they were super innovative when they were around. One of the first to offer diagonal glassing as a standard option and carbon tail strips. The manufacturing was great and the scale was perfect too.He said business people who didnt understand surfing ran it into the ground
Thank you, that will be all I need for tonight.Reddit - Dive into anything

Happy it worked out for everyone there at CI and surf culture in general.I'll share some of the story, I think it's telling.
So after these guys make their venture capital pitch, and ask to name a price, I get ahold of Jake (Burton) about his thoughts. He says I'll need to come out to Vermont to talk this one through.
Next on the plane, to Burlington, and into Jake's office.
I don't recall him ever even having a proper desk, but there were plenty couches and coffee tables.
After some brief small talk, he looks me square in the eye...
"So you want to be sold?"
I pause 5 seconds "No."

BASE Surfboards forced to close with crippling debts | Swellnet Dispatch | Swellnet
Just left beach house. They have exactly 7 Firewire, 3 of them are Machado boards with no FW branding so those might not even be FW.Bitch house is pretty close last time I looked "been a while" but they do have pretty good collection of pyzels
Whaaat? Isn't that essentially the FireWire model?Maurice Cole said:We went through all this so us guys could take a step back from the gruelling physical stuff and use our brands and our personas and attach an infrastructure to them that would mass produce our designs. That was basically it.
If I had a choice I'd use Asia to mass produce my boards because then they'd come in a lot cheaper and you'd actually earn money off that which would pay for the R&D.
Not just the Firewire model.Whaaat? Isn't that essentially the FireWire model?
Also, I don't think he knows what socialism is.
Not listed as a dealer on FW website. You may need to drive to Revo for all your Firewire needs.Just left beach house. They have exactly 7 Firewire, 3 of them are Machado boards with no FW branding so those might not even be FW.
So that’s 7 boards out of 100 or so.
Yes, American elite’s have firmly convinced the working class of their worthlessness.Australia more socialist than US.
I got my Revo at Revo, as a matter of fact.Not listed as a dealer on FW website. You may need to drive to Revo for all your Firewire needs.
With half the population of California.Australia socialist, lol.
we just have free health care- it's fcuking titts.
Yeah, maybe they are phasing out of FWs because they don‘t sell. They used to have more in stock, they’d sit on the rack until they turned yellow then get replaced.Not listed as a dealer on FW website. You may need to drive to Revo for all your Firewire needs.
Many hands make light work - we all chip in so that we all can benefit, its not hard to wrap your head around. You shouldn't go broke, just to be healthy.With half the population of California.
And it’s free? So the doctors don’t get paid? The people who build and maintain hospitals don’t get paid? Nurses, no pay? Pharmaceutical companies just give you medicine for no cost at all?
Amazing.
