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.

Horan-McCoy Nugget bonzer spitfire….

Not one of mine, but something about this design just screams – “try me!”
Its from the ProBox fins site/blog and the templates (board and fins) are pure McCoy/Horan, with a little reverse Campbell Bros thrown in.
The reverse (to norm) foil is meant to be the lowest drag option, which is why this is a more common shape on boats now than swept back like a conventional surfboard fin.
I had the best barrels of my life on my McCoy Nugget in both Indo and the Caribbean. I guess I may have to make a version in the very near future, add the EVO vortex bottom, foil up a spitfire fin… find some decent waves to try it in – watch this space…

    hi tim , i really enjoy reading your blog , always something really interesting going on , i have a spitfire fin you can try , hand foiled from brazilian mahogany , i tried it in a wood skinned bonzer i have made but the board felt better with a 6 inch bonzer fin in there , i never tried the spitfire all the way foreward in the box so that might be worth it at some point , it will just save you the time of making one if you want to try mine , i live in st austell
