About us

Behind the brand 

 
Founded in 1965 by legendary Long Island surfer Gerry Stewart, Custom by Stewart is a tribute to a golden era of surfing. Gerry Stewart, a pioneer in the local surf scene and a three-time East Coast Champion, crafted Stewart boards with a vision to capture the essence of the late ’50s and early ’60s surfing culture that thrived on Long Island beaches. Our brand is dedicated to honoring her legacy by recreating the classic surf vibe that made those years so special.

At Custom by Stewart, we pride ourselves on blending vintage aesthetics with modern craftsmanship. Each piece in our collection is designed to evoke the spirit of adventure, freedom, and the timeless allure of the ocean. Whether you’re hitting the waves or simply embracing the coastal lifestyle, our products aim to connect you with the rich heritage of Long Island surfing.

Join us in celebrating the legacy of Gerry Stewart and the enduring spirit of Custom by Stewart. Ride the waves of history with us and become a part of our story.
