Afternoon Interview: Haydenshapes Episode 042: Hayden Cox walks us through his operation and touches on a new Collab with Vissla

Hayden Cox is probably one of the most modern shapers in the world. His label Haydenshapes is revered by all walks of surfers and collectors and pros. His team includes Craig Anderson and Creed McTaggart. And by bringing serious attention to design aesthetic to the surfboard world he’s flipped the model of shaping on it’s head, implementing modern approach to a typically hands on process.

This approach made a collab with Vissla a no-brainer. The two got together and created a few pieces of clothing and surfboards that represent that attention to detail and simple design. The stuff looks good and the boards look very good. Take a tour around his El Segundo showroom and shaping studio and get a glimpse at the range he created with Vissla here.
