Stewart Surfboards was born in 1978 from a passion for surfing and an artist’s eye for inventing, designing, and creating. Bill Stewart has been an artist since he could hold a pencil and he brought that perspective to creating new and innovative surfboards. The true father of the modern longboard, Stewart created the “2 + 1” fin setup on a longboard and the famed “Hydro Hull” bottom with beveled rails and a single to double concave. He is also the co-inventor of the Futures fin system and recommends Futures fins in all of his boards.

With a long history of making innovative surfboards for surfers around the world, Stewart Surfboards selects only the best factories to make their boards, so naturally Ocean Magic is the exclusive manufacturer in the UK. Current Stewart owners, Ashley and Erik Leines (Bill’s daughter and son-in-law) visited the Ocean Magic factory in 2024 and got the crew dialed in on all the details of the Stewart shapes. So you can be sure that a Stewart from the Ocean Magic factory is consistent with the shape, performance, and quality that you know and love from Stewart.

Stewart surfboards are for pros, beginners, aging surfers, and anyone in-between.
