The "Nightstalker" commands highest bid at Billabong auction!

Bill Stewart’s “Nightstalker” surfboard commands the highest bid at this year’s “Art Of Shaping Orange County edition” hosted by Billabong. The winning bid of $5250.00 goes directly into the 2010 SIMA Humanitarian Fund. The twenty two shapers chosen to build boards for the event were orange county’s finest and represented a full historical range of board builders. It was very nice to see the dedication and craftsmanship put into all of the surfboards. From ultra modern shapes to full on traditional longboards, there was something for every bidder’s personal taste.

Welcome Home!

What do you do when you are in landlocked Afghanistan, with a only few days of deployment left? You go shopping for a surfboard of course! Staff Sargent Randall Parkes Found his dream board on our website, a 9’ 6” California Noserider with deep red panels. As soon as he got home he came into the Stewart shop, walked right over to the CNR section, grabbed his dream board put it on the rack and said fin me up! A little unusual as normally it takes some salesmanship to get a board out the door. Randall told us how much he missed surfing and couldn’t wait to get in the surf.

Bill Stewart's "Project x"

Bill Stewart is busy at work building a very unique board for Billabong’s “Art of Shaping” event and auction. Never one to rest on his laurels, he has conjured up a very original yet applicable concept. I wish I could tell you more, but I am sworn to secrecy. I will say that it is an impressive undertaking, and will defiantly create surf industry chatter. We will be posting more on this project, when it is ready for presentation at ASR/Sacred Craft in mid August.

Boardworks Sales meeting 2010

The Boardworks team held their sales meeting in Encinitas,Ca. on April 8th. Bill was invited to clinic the new sales staff, as well as the Vets on our approach to business, sales and the models we offer in TEC technology. I missed the event but heard it was classic Bill Stewart, fun, informative and full of new ideas. Everyone had a great time, some laughs and new ammo to help sling Stewart Boardworks models this spring. There was a nice party afterwords at the Boardworks HQ where a slew of fine shapers and sales reps rubbed elbows and talked shop.

Beautiful Balsa Board By Bill

We just wanted to offer up a real stunner that just rolled in. This is a beautiful, 9’ 7” wood board completely milled and hand shaped by Bill Stewart. With 21 stringers in all, this board is a visual delight . Very clean balsa and book ended redwood, this board is reminiscent of the fine classics Dale Velzy shaped throughout his career, but with the Bill flair. This is a fully templated board, with a pulled nose, and a squash tail complimented with a tail block. The fin is also unique and handmade.It is a period correct barn door fin, with a 1/4” glass bead.
