Billy Hamilton grew up in California and surfed the entire coastline growing up in the 60’s. He competed in California surf contest and found his way competing in Hawaii and developed an attraction for the North Shore. He found his way back to Hawaii in 1966 and married his wife Joann (her son Laird is the top and most respected big wave rider). They later moved to Kauai and Billy eventually shaped for Surfboards Hawaii, Country Surfboards, Chuck Dent, and Lightning Bolt. Aside from shaping, Billy Hamilton is known for his graceful surfing style and appearance in ‘Big Wednesday’. He has been shaping under his own label since the 1990’s and has several classic epoxy longboards offered through Surftech. 7 Comments »scott paris, on June 2, 2008 @ 10:37 pm |Nice longboards,but I still love my 5′10″ pumpkin seed quad you made in 83′.

I am having some trouble finding them. A friend of mine went to walk over my board and accidentally bunped it and broke it off. Any help would be appreciated.

Bill Hamilton, on November 4, 2008 @ 6:02 pm |To all customers who have surfboards with the adjustable angles. Please contact my email address so I can send you spare parts. Also, anyone interested in the first ever Hawaii grown balsa grown for surfboards. I have lumber for about thirty various shapes from gunsa to longboards. Price varies for inlay work and stringers hollowed out work. Starting $3,800. Please contact my web address.
