Brad Basham had built an institution in San Clemente's bustling Los Molinos "Surf Getto." The owner and proprietor of Basham's Factory and Surf Shop, Basham's business was the hub of the board-building scene.
Selling everything from surfboard blanks to sanpaper to fin plugs for anyone who wanted to make a surfboard, Basham's is the place to go for supplies.
A quiet, humble figurehead of the San Clemente since the early 1970's he shied away from the spotlight, content to focus his energies on his business and making those around him better.
He's remembered for his kindness and generous heart. Giving so many local shapers a place to launch their careers, it was because of Basham's support and guidance that big-time shapers today such as Timmy Patterson, Matt Biolos and Tyler Warren were able to get their start.
