Poncho - Shaper Series - Bill Stewart

The magic board is priceless!!! Shapers are probably the most important figures in surfing. Without shapers, there are no boards — and without boards, there’s a lot less surfing. Let’s be honest: making our favourite toy is a complex craft that requires skills in design, physics, wave knowledge, and also a strong artistic flair.

Passionate — even obsessed — creative, sometimes almost visionary, these craftsmen of happiness spend their lives surrounded by resin and dust. Plane in hand, their only goal is to bring joy and fun to surfers everywhere.

At After Essentials, we love surfing, we love beautiful boards, and shapers are our gurus. So it was only natural to dedicate a collection to them. And now it’s done, with these five poncho models.
