Dave "Dingo" Moore, shaper and founder of DMZ Surfboards, was a former shop rat of Fluid Drive in the 80's. He then created the original Dingbatz in Huntington Beach, CA in 1999. Dingbatz was a top go-to ding repair shop for Pro Surfers in the early 2000's and serviced HSS, Jack's, Rockin Fig and other local shops. Dave took up shaping and became knowledgeable by working with feedback from his team in the early 2000's (Ian Ekberg, Brett Simpson, "Goose," Ryan Carlson, and Timmy Reyes to name a few) and pitching them boards that he shaped. Dingo began recognizing consistencies in boards his riders loved by various shapers while doing repairs and then started shaping boards under the Dingbatz name.
