Can anyone here give us deets?
Thats the second booger shop to close in like a month.

[despes25]

confirmed

i knew something was up, went to the duns shop today and it was emptied of everything but I figured that just that was closing down (never saw anyone in that shop.. always thought it was a bad move). Surprised that the scarbs one wasn't turning at least a bit of a profit, but. The lack of a closing down sale was a bit disappointing too. Oh well.

[smoido]

eppo's also closed. whos next?

[caspian]

an industry wide apocalypse, maybe. Fingers crossed the surfing industry will follow!!

[despes25]

elit board are gone too casp, i think it will slowly be cut down to a few big stores like bsc and boogerking

[caspian]

yeah, I mean stores aside (I figured Perth was big enough to handle at least one bb store) it's a pretty crowded market. So many board brands, and probably a few more wetsuit brands than are required, too. To say nothing of the crazy amount of clothing brands!

[adam.s]

That was our only dedicated BB shop in the state too wasn't it?

[caspian]

yes indeedy

an industry wide apocalypse, maybe. Fingers crossed the surfing industry will follow!!

Amen to that brother! Sounds a big negative but in my opinion promoting/sponsoring competition, abeit even at a grass roots level, is the last thing that Western Australian bodyboarding and surfing needs. Strange there was no closing down sale........don't mean to sound like the vulture on the carcass of misery but anyone know if/when/how EBB will be liquidating their board stock?

Ryan Mattick interview on Riptide..

"After that I get on the phone to my lawyer, and talk through all the ways it might be possible to retrieve the many thousands of dollars owed to Zion by a certain West Australian bodyboard shop franchise, who have sold out of our stock and decided it would be a better idea to put the money owed to us toward home renovations and several bad investments."

Ouch!

Yep read that just before. Some of the comments were also hating on EBB, saying they screwed everyone over.
I have absolutely no idea how legit that is. So there are no dedicated Bodyboarding shops in WA anymore? Sounds like Vicco! I thought there were a heap over west.

Yeah EBB Screwed over the BB Wholesale Industry. I am sure another BB Specialist store will pick up the slack and open up over West in the not to distant future.

Keep supporting brands like Zion...It would appear that they will be going through some tough times but their heart is in the right place.
