Tim Stafford Surfboards

Mostly bonzer inspired creations, made in Cornwall. Designed, shaped, glassed, sanded, finned and finished by Tim Stafford.

I make boards that are easy to ride, that feel natural under foot. Most aren't conventional but they will help you reach that point where you stop thinking about what's under your feet and start to focus on where you want to go and how you want to get there. Why bonzers?

Always happy to chat about your needs and what would work for you but please initiate contact by email or Facebook... details on www.timstaffordsurfboards.com | Ride and glide.

The Sprat - bonzer bottom quad

Welcome to the new model, the sprat. Inspired by the general shortewning of boards i wanted to make something 5'8 that was accessible to older surfers.The sprat features a very thick nose and a relaxed entry rocker but with a pronounced tail rocker and kick. Plenty of volume throughout for wave catching and a wide tail for drive and boosting off the lip.Double concave vortex channel through the middle (for lift under the front foot) blends into a quadruple concave V channel under the back foot (guiding water between the 4 fins), finishing with a kick-tail rocker with subtle single concave (for extra squirt)... So it was fun to shape, especially as my tool of choice, concave surform, had gone walk about.
