On any given day in a quiet corner of an aging pineapple cannery in Haiku, Maui, you'll find one of the greatest surfboard shapers of our time, Jeff Timpone. For over 40 years now, Timpone has continously refined & mastered his craft. And while perhaps there are more famous shapers, a dedicated group of surfers still exist who won't put a foot in the water without their trusted Timpone.
There's plenty of reason for such devotion amongst Jeff's fans, as every Timpone board is hand made personally by Jeff.
Decades of experience, insight and inspiration are transferred into every touch of the sander...into every square inch of each board.
When old world craftsmanship and nothing but the best materials top your list of priorities, it's time to give Jeff Timpone a call. Jeff has made every size, style and shape of board out there.
When the first surfers finally got up the cojones to attempt tackling the monstrous break at Peahi, Maui more commonly known as "JAWS", it's no coincidence that Jeff got the call to construct the then unheard of "tow-in" boards that would carry his riders to safety after dropping in on what has to be one of the world's greatest and deadliest waves
