VIRAL SURF SINCE ITS CREATION IN 2005
Création de Viral
VIRAL Surf née en mai 2005, de la volonté de ses associés, Cédric JOURDREIN et Julien CRECHET, d'offrir une nouvelle source d'approvisionnement de pains de mousse, résine, fibre de verre... aux artisans shapers locaux.
44, chemin de Bassilour - Bidart
Ce sera notre premier point de chute !
5 décembre 2005... la lettre de Gordon Clark
Le marché de la fabrication des planches de surf est secoué par la fermeture de la société Clark Foam, fournissant depuis les Etats-Unis, une large partie des pains de mousse PU servant à fabriquer les planches de surf à travers le monde.
C'est le début d'une nouvelle ère, avec la multiplication des approvisionnements de pains de mousse et des fournisseurs de produits dédiés aux shapers.
TBF - TechBlankFoam
Notre première distribution exclusive : les pains de mousse polyuréthane TBF, fabriqués dans le Nord de l'Espagne. C'est l'occasion de fournir une nouvelle alternative "locale" aux pains Clark Foam et de rentrer peu à peu chez les acteurs du marché.
Notre créneau : le service. Visiter et aprovisioner aussi régulièrement que possible les ateliers aquitains, puis vendéens, bretons...
Pukas, Lost surfboards...
OLATU, le plus grand atelier de fabrication de planches en Europe nous offre de représenter ses marques de planches de surf sur le territoire français.
A cette époque déjà, de grands noms du shape ornent déjà les catalogues de notre partenaire espagnol : Peter Daniels, Rawson, LSD, Webber, Chilli, Jed Noll, Mayhem Lost, DHD... et suivront beaucoup d'autres dont Channel Islands.
1er site internet
VIRAL se lance dans le créneau "internet" et crée fin 2006 le 1er site européen de vente de produits dédiés à la fabrication de planches de surf.
Déménagement et agrandissement
Nos clients et nos fournisseurs nous font confiance. L'activité croît, nous conduisant à nous installer dans des surfaces plus "accueillantes" et plus grandes, à quelques centaines de mètres de notre précédente location.
De nouvelles marques de résine et de pains de mousse font leur apparition dans nos racks : Silmar, Surfblanks South Africa, Just Foam, Burford blanks, US Blanks...
Futures fins
Un des acteurs majeurs du marché nous offre un nouveau challenge : développer pour la zone France et Espagne la distribution du célèbre système de dérives amovibles.
L'équipe s'agrandit
Loïc ERRAN, surfeur de haut niveau, est le premier salarié à venir rejoindre nos rangs. Il vient apporter ses connaissances précieuses de surfeur pratiquant.
OAM - On A Mission
La marque d'accessoires de surf Californienne créée en 1992 par les surfeurs professionnels Shane Dorian, Taylor Knox, les frères Malloy, nous confie sa distribution pour la France.
Grips, leashes, housses et accessoires multiples viennent agrémenter notre offre.
Arctic Foam
Nous nous accordons avec la société Foam Corps, basée en Californie et jusque là produisant les pains de mousse "Surfblanks America", pour distribuer sur l'Europe leur nouvelle formulation de mousse : "Arctic Foam".
Depuis cette époque, nous nous investissons majoritairement dans la distribution ce ces pains de qualité, et stockons à l'année 1 200 à 2 000 de leurs pains pour les besoins de notre clientèle.
Captain Fin Co.
Printemps 2011 débute notre collaboration avec les californiens de Captain Fin Co., à cette époque représentés par notre partenaire Futures.
Les modèles de dérives signés Kassia Meador, Alex Knost, CJ Nelson, Herbie Fletcher, Chris Christenson, Mitch Abshere... débarquent en France.
A nouveau !
Nos volumes de stockage insuffisants nous obligent une nouvelle fois à "pousser les murs". Nous sommes toujours installés Zone Artisanale de Bassilour, à BIDART.
Des forces vives...
Le sérieux et l'efficacité de Laurent "Bob", nouvelle recrue en charge de notre clientèle et des expéditions.
Komunity Project
La marque d'accessoires de surf de Kelly Slater fera une courte apparition dans nos racks, jusqu'à ce que le "King" décide de stopper son implication personnelle avec la marque.
