Fatum Surfboards

Fatum Surfboards are handmade in Peniche (Portugal) by shaper Gero Tragatschnig, with over 20 years of experience making boards for riders and waves worldwide. Fatum believes in a straightforward approach to board-design: give every surfer the best possible board. For Gero the key to the perfect board is in the details. Building from the ideal outline, he continuously refines the bottom contour, the tailshape, rails and fin setup. The result is a line of boards that work. Boards that allow you to go beyond. To develop and to perfect your personal style in any condition. Fatum was founded in 1998 by Gero and Thomas Lange, one of the first and finest German professional and freesurfers. The first boards were shaped in Sylt, northern Germany, but in 2000 Gero moved to Peniche, to establish the factory and showroom both of which have grown ever since.
