Fatum Surfboards burned down yesterday (15/01/2008) with the fire starting on the glassing room for reasons we don’t know precisely yet. 90% of the contents of the factory division were burnt and brought to the ground; the firemen had to break some part of wall to access the fire pitch.
Part of the shop was recovered like computers and around 70 boards on the racks.
The damages are hard to estimate, as there were besides the boards being built, also around 60 boards to repair and all the merchandize including primal materials like blanks and working machines.
It is hard to portrait in words what the people working there and also some friends who came to help the day after were feeling but one thing is for sure, Fatum is not en. There is a new factory being built and projects are still on the go. So whenever you want to visit us, we are now installed near Supertubes Beach brake, at a the end of IP6 heading towards Peniche at a roundabout turn right in direction to “Atoguia da Baleia” nad immediate at your left side you will see BaleiaAuto Rent Car and Fatum is the next building on the right, very hard to miss! The big Logo on the top of the building isn’t placed yet …
FATUM FOR LIFE!
