A brief introduction to the man behind the creation of the parabolic rail, as well as Firewire’s technology and surfboard design. Bert Burger, originating out of Mandurah Western Australia, has been designing, innovating and building sandwich construction and vacuum bagged surfboards for over 23 years. Cohost Tyler Breuer had a unique opportunity to sit down with the legendary shaper for a marathon 2 hour interview. Bert was animated with energy and excitement as we glided through his surfboard shaping history, discussed surfboards made overseas, surfboard tech, the start of Firewire and subsequent exit from the company and the rebirth of Sunova Surfboards. This episode is for those who love surfboard design and lore.
The episode was recorded in the study of Rockaway legends, J Scott & Lois Klossner. Huge thanks to them and Mr. Boardporn, Ron Schein for organizing the interview.
