Hamilton

The Stylist series, one and two, were designed and shaped by Bill Hamilton and John Price, owner of Surfboards Hawaii in 1967. They were very popular boards, especially on the East Coast. The late 60’s were a time of great change in surfboard design and the Stylist was one of the last great longboards.

In 1996, twenty-nine years later, Bill Hamilton recreated the Stylist II. “I tried to incorporate all the positive aspects of the newer design theories from past to present and the only part of that process that resembles the Stylist II is the outline and the name. Everything else is an amalgamation of new design theory”, says Hamilton.

“A really good working surfboard is made from very simple ingredients. It’s a marriage of ideas that have proven to work over time with one key element that makes it all come together - bottom rocker. This is the great secret of the shaper and what makes the difference between a good board and a magic one.”

New to the Hamilton line-up for 2004 are the super fun 8’0” Free Billy and the 9’0” Hyper Form. All manufactured with the amazingly strong and durable Tuflite technology from Surftech.

Board Review

A classic performance longboard designed to meet the demands of the widest segment of the longboard community.
Featuring a pulled in tail to turn sharply of the back half of the board but relativity solid surface and volume on the upper half for a smooth glide.

Board Review

Rounded pin with significant rail curve for an exceptionally tight turning radius for such a large board.
Great performance for a bigger guy and/or smaller wave.
