Tim Jump Art & Prints
I met Tim Jump through Instagram as I do with many artists and surfers. His punk rock attitude and unique surfboards, art and jewelry caught my attention.
Based in South Carolina, Tim is in his own universe when it comes to making surfcraft in his own unique way. Take a look at his prints, earrings and t-shirts. He makes som real cool stuff.
About:
"Tim Jump began toying with the idea of making his own surfboards on the New Jersey shore in the early aughts, the video-sharing platform had yet to hit the Internet. “I think there was one video series on VHS about making surfboards,” Jump says. “But really, you had to hang out with the old guys in the industry.”
"Jump, an art student at the time, got informal mentoring from the team at Brian Wynn Surfboards in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, where he spent as much time as he could between jobs. “I built my first surfboard in 2004,” he says, but as life took him farther from the ocean, building his own boards became less of a priority. “I got a job teaching art and special ed for nine years, bouncing around as my wife finished up med school.”
