T.E.C. - Thermal Epoxy Compression
What sets Boardworks apart from other epoxy sandwich manufacturers is our proprietary T.E.C., (Thermal Epoxy Compression) technology. Utilizing this technology, where we apply both heat and pressure, coupled with the finest epoxy resins, Boardworks produces a sandwiched surfboard that is light, tight, and very durable. Each Boardworks board consists of a dual-density core, (EPS bonded to a high density divynicell outer shell), fiberglass, and epoxy resins. In our T.E.C. construction we are able to replicate a board from some of your favorite shapers that has an amazing strength to weight ratio and excellent flex and rebound characteristics that give our boards a "feel" in the water that surfers of all abilities will appreciate.

Shaper - Bill Stewart
In Bowling Green Kentucky in 1951, I’m still Kentucky’s greatest surfer ever. My family moved to Florida when I was 2. In the 7th grade my best friend’s dad pulled us from school and took us surfing for the first time. I was completely hooked. I mowed 32 lawns in 1964 to earn the $32 to buy a used Hobie 9’2", my 1st board.
I lived for surf through high school and excelled in art classes. Bought a 1963 Ford van for $500 and split for the west coast. I ended up in Encinitas where I surfed Swami’s everyday on my 5’6" Plastic Fantastic twin fin. Surfing my way up the coast, I landed at my dream location, San Clemente. I paid my dues polishing, sanding, and selling boards. I learned all I could about building surfboards, painting and shaping for Rick James. I used my airbrush skills to paint surfboards being second person to paint boards in this way. My big break came when I started airbrushing hundreds of boards for OP. I was hired by South Shore and later by Hobie for airbrushing and shaping. I continued to compete at a professional level on the Hobie team, having much success in local events.
In 1978, I started Stewart surfboards in the alley of Broken Dreams, Dana Point. I hand painted and shaped, took orders, sold tees, took the money and ran my tiny Laguna Beach shop, one customer at a time. I married my lovely bride Christy, had two children, and became very serious about building boards. At a grass roots level, we put together a great team of surfers, Mike Parsons, Shane and Gavin Beshen, and Pat Allen. Finally we scraped up enough money for an ad in Surfing Magazine, and we also got some editorial coverage.
The ball really started rolling in the early 80’s. Being the tinker that I am, I started trying to find a way to make longboards go fast and turn hard. It was my three finned, double concave, beveled rail Hydro Hull that became my cornerstone and to this day is sold and surfed worldwide.
The company grew; we opened a bigger shop in San Clemente where we still reside. We are still making hand shaped polyurethane and epoxy boards in the shop every day. We specialize in custom boards from corporate full color inlay to a nine year olds’ first board.
I still work extensively with my team riders, Julie Whitegon, Colin McPhillips, Troy Mothershead and Maggie Dunn to produce the best high performance surfboards I can possibly shape. We will now also offer alternative surfboards including a full line of surfboards from Boardworks.
