Episode 028: Hayden Cox - The Surfboard That Took Over The World

Full episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com For episode 028 I headed to Sydney’s Northern Beaches to interview surfer, shaper and entrepreneur Hayden Cox. This is the first part of my planned Aussie omnibus featuring legendary members of the Sydney surf community, and Hayden definitely fits that description. He is the founder and owner of Haydenshapes surfboards - one of the most influential surfboard brands of the last decade. Why? Because Hayden is the man behind two of the most ubiquitous innovations recent surf history - Future Flex and, most notoriously, the Hypto Kryto surfboard. In December 2017, I visited Hayden at his Mona Vale HQ to get the lowdown on his life and career. It was a brilliantly enjoyable conversation, in which we discussed exactly how he turned HaydenShapes into one of surfing’s most important brands. I had a great time doing this one, and massive thanks to Hayden and the rest of the Haydenshapes team for being so welcoming. As usual, thanks to Scott Nixon (www.scottnixon.co.uk) for post-production help and Matt Ward (www.linguistine.com) for the theme tune. And big ups to Danielle Cox for her help setting this one up. Hope you enjoy it!
