The Stab In The Dark Shaper Series: Stamps

Welcome back to Stab in the Dark. By now you’ve seen what Julian Wilson did with our collection of cleanskin boards from the world’s best shapers. You also know that Darren Handley (DHD) won. But, now it’s time to meet the gentry behind the other crafts that made for such compelling viewing in our mini-documentary.

Tim Stamps is a 47-year-old based in Huntington Beach, and he’s been shaping for 27 of those years. In the last year he’s shaped 1,100 boards, but only one was for Julian Wilson (which he didn’t know at the time).

“I reckon it’d go great in chunky barrels where the force of the wave is your speed generator,” says Julian Wilson of the Stamps Stab in the Dark model, board #05.

Please, meet Mr Stamps above.

The Art of Shaping with Tim

"Standup boards are simple to make right? A little foam, a couple layers of fiberglass, some sandpaper, you’re good? Not even close. Tim Stamps has been shaping surfboards, and now standups, for almost 25 years. In that time he’s made 16,000 rideable pieces of art. When SUP magazine’s Rob Zaleski mentioned he needed a board, we solicited the help of one of the best board builders alive. Little did we know there are more than a dozen steps involved as a board goes from foam to finish. Here’s an abbreviated explanation as Stamps takes Zaleski through this highly refined craft. -Dave Costello" from the fall 2012 issue of Supthemag. original post. http://www.supthemag.com/features/the-art-of-shaping-with-tim-stamps/

Salina Cruz Travel Diary by Billabong surfer, Courtney Conlogue & video edited by friend, Dillon Chang.

I ventured on this trip in search of serenity. The moment I set foot on the plane, the competition and training stayed in LA. I wanted to enjoy the whole reason I started surfing from its purest form. While on the trip, I was given the nickname "Aquabat" because I would be in the water as long as I could. I went on this trip with my brother, my shaper (Tim Stamps), and a friend. Every morning we woke up with the sun, searching for a new adventure. By the end of the trip we all voted to make this a tradition. A trip where you surf, laugh, eat great food and have a lot of fun.
