If you’re not quite ready to rip and shred on a shortboard, and longboard “cruising” simply sounds boring, a Hawaiian Pro Designs Takayama Egg is the perfect solution.
This model is an “eggy” looking shape that allows the rider to trim high on the wave in the middle of the board or race down the line on the tail, whichever the rider prefers. A perfect board for beginners to advanced riders!
This board offers plenty of paddling speed, early wave entry tons of down-the-line-speed. Don’t bother putting your back foot over the fins for The Egg to work; trimming the board from the middle and cruising the high-line works just as well.
Who is it for?
Competent older surfers who’s fitness isn’t what it was will love The Takayama Egg’s performance and the early wave entry which allows them to compete with ever busier, younger and fitter line-ups.
The Takayama Egg is all about fun which it delivers in spades, if you’re looking for a lightweight durable mid-length in one of the most iconic shapes ever made, get yourself Egged!

Injection Tech is a patented precision-engineered torsion control system designed to optimise surfboard performance.
Injection Tech utilises the pressures and forces from the surfer and the wave itself, elastic energy. By strategically engineering the position of the reinforcing material on the bottom of the board, we create less resistance to torsional flex, allowing the board to flow through turns with a more drawn out turning arch.
The continuous length of reinforcing material is injected through the core of the board, from the bottom through to the deck, to increase drive, torque and pop in the tail region, much like the tail fin of a dolphin or tuna, generating speed and power.
The complete rail of an Injection Tech is kept free of any reinforcing elements to ensure a smooth even flex from nose to tail. This load and release flex works in unison with the rail to rail transition of the surfer generating speed and drive, different again to the Carbon Wrap technology
Designed and patented by HaydenShapes founder Hayden Cox, FutureFlex is an affluent mix of modern custom designed materials and modern design innovation for high performance surfing. The construction combines a stringer-less, high-density custom shaped EPS core laminated with biaxial fiberglass, epoxy resin and a parabolic carbon fiber frame.
The carbon fiber frame within the laminate is the key to the performance vitality of the overall product. Designed to maximize speed and drive while minimizing twist, FutureFlex essentially stores and releases energy as the surfer transitions through a turn. Tom Carroll, who was the very first person, after Hayden, to test drive the first ever FutureFlex, describes the tech as “the Ferrari of surfboards” for it’s fast-twitch nature and lively response. The FutureFlex construction creates a fast, dynamic and highly responsive surfboard that’s been design engineered for performance surfing ranging from the intermediate to advanced level.
