We recently had Bert in-store and fired him up with a few beers.
Bert Burger (the man behind the parabolic rail and Firewire) is larger than life with an amazing story of survival through the ups and downs of the surfboard industry since the 70's.

So here it is - the first part of Bert talking about how it all started and an in-depth talk on board design.
Grab a beer as we did, sit back and hear from the brilliant mind of an intelligent and creative man possessed with a life-long desire improve his boards and the experience for all those who use ride them.

Part one of the series covers his history and how outline, contour and rocker affect a boards performance.

I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!



Part 2 on its way!

specs at night classic.

Spoke to to a bloke in the know today who believes in the V. Not sure what to make of berts Newton theory when it comes to the concave. Is concave just for the hell shredder or is it a every day joe base ?
