| For over four decades Bill Stewart has been creating one of a kind
custom surfboards. An early backer of the longboard resurrection, Bill
is the inventor of the 2+1 fin configuration and Hydro Hull beveled
rail, as well as co-inventor of the Future Fins System box.
Born in 1951 in Bowling Green, Kentucky, Stewart grew up in
Hollywood, Florida where he began surfing in 1963. He quickly realized
that he could combine his passion for surfing with his artistic talents
and started shaping boards in 1967.
In search of better waves, Bill moved to Southern California in 1971
and started working for Hobie, Rick James and South Shore. After
gaining some much-needed knowledge and experience behind a planer, Bill
opened Stewart Surfboards in Laguna Beach in 1978.
Bill was the second person to ever airbrush on a surfboard and was
voted Best Airbrusher by Surfer Magazine in 1980.
In 1984, Stewart developed the Hydro Hull, a double concave design
he used on longboards and shortboards. The same year he invented the 2+1
tri-fin configuration, the standard in performance longboards.
Late in 2008, Stewart developed the S-Winger, a 5 fin double wing
pin shortboard. After the immediate success of the S-Winger, the LSW Longboard S-Winger was developed and has become
the most anticipated board that Stewart has released to date.
No doubt Bill is cooking up some more great ideas right now. Stay
tuned for the latest inventions and innovations. Custom shaping is our specialty ! We do our best to stay updated on
current inventories, but there is a chance a board was recently sold, or
we just had another board shipment arrive. Feel free to give us a call
if you want to see if your size is available, or get your custom board ordered.
Due to oversized packaging, surfboards are shipped using various freight options. When ordering a surfboard your shipping charge will be added after the order is submitted. You will receive shipping quotes via e-mail for door to door as well as airport delivery usually within 1 business day. The shipping fee will then be added only upon your approval.
