HC, Hayden Chamberlain, has been mad keen on surfing for over 20 years and shaping boards for almost as long. “I moved from Dargaville when I was 17 to work for Fresh Squeezed in Piha (my parents dropped me off!). All I wanted to do was shape surfboards and I’ve been doing it ever since.“
After mastering the intricacies of designing, shaping, and building boards during stints in all the big Auckland factories: Hot Buttered, Razor, and Primal, HC set out on his own, initially in West Auckland. These days he’s based in Ruakaka, Northland, running the Surfline factory with legend NZ shaper, Roger Hall. Hayden loves working on new designs, having an idea, then making a board that perform as he envisioned in his head. His shapes are regularly under the feet of New Zealand’s top surfers but Hayden is just as keen to help everyday surfers get better. “The biggest amp is working with customers to make a board that will improve their surfing, no matter their level.”
All the team at HC Surfboards are dedicated to crafting top-quality boards here in New Zealand. “They are an awesome bunch of guys, super easy to work with and highly-skilled, so they can do anything a customer asks for.” Get in touch with us and let’s make a board that will take your surfing to a new level.
