Stamps Surfboards was started in 1997 by Tim Stamps. Growing up around resin and fiberglass, building his own skate ramps, and sweeping floors for nonother than the likes of Rich Harbour, it didn't take long until Tim was fixing dings and eventually shaping his own boards. On the Harbour surf team from age 12, and competitively surfing making his way up the ranks to pro status at age 21, Stamps was on a career path toward pro surfing until a knee injury took him out. Fortunately, his shaping skills had continued to be refined since the age of 15, and it wasn't long after the injury until he opened his own factory now located in Westminster, CA.

Popular Stamps models include the everyday high performance Grinder X and the cruisey but versatile fish shaped Quantum Quad.
