Magic Hands. There's not many of them out there these days. You know, the type of surfer who is just as talented painting boards as they are shaping them. Bill Stewart is one of them. His digits are legit. Great surfer, check. Great shaper, check. Great artist, checkity-check-check! Seems every shaper these days rips on a surfboard, not many of them are creating world famous works of art. Herbie Fletcher's one of them; he shapes, creates and rips! But who else? What other world famous shapers can walk the walk and paint the paint, too? Or is it a lost breed in 2013? Will Droid pick up a paint brush? Cole? Doc Lausch? Not sure. Maybe. At the end of the day, however, Bill is just like any other surfer. Except he has Magic Hands and most of us do not. By the way, can you think of any famous shapers who happen to be world famous artists, too? Let us know by messaging us on our Facebook!! Shoots!
