STEPHEN BELL – THE MAN BEHIND THE VISION

Stephen Bell, affectionately known as 'Belly,' has been a driving force in the surfing and watersports world for over three decades. His journey began in Victoria, Australia, where his passion for waves and craftsmanship took root. But it was his move to the vibrant French coast that solidified his legacy.In 1990, Belly founded Euroglass, which quickly became a cornerstone of the surf industry. Combining European sophistication with Australian surf culture, he created a unique identity that revolutionised surfboard design and production. His relentless drive to innovate played a pivotal role in shaping the brand now known as BELL.

His mentorship extended to young talent like Leonardo Fioravanti and watersport legend Robby Naish, creating a bridge between generations of athletes. His factory in Hossegor wasn’t just a production facility—it became an unofficial embassy for the world’s top surfers during World Tour events. Here, Australian surfers discovered secret sandbars, gained invaluable insights, and found new boards that pushed their performance to the next level.
