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.

Making 17

This is one of those jobs I wished I had set up the video camera for… i had to paint 17 squares of different coloured resin into a pre-drawn silver grid using a set of rules created by artist Peter J Evans for his board.

I used 4 pots of tinted resin (no wax so I can gloss straight over), a fine brush,  and it took 3 mixes as they just kept going off quicker than i could paint them in. The brief was to keep it loose, like the original piece called “Making 40” where the colours were loosely sketched over a graph paper grid.

I love the result and hopefully Pete will too. Gonna be hard to wax this one!P1070718
