Our Company

HISTORY

Hayden Kenny shaped his first surfboard around 1959. This was done in the cow shed on his grandfather’s farm near Maryborough, Queensland, Australia.
Shortly afterwards, realising that he needed to be more involved in the developing surfing lifestyle, Hayden made the move to Alexandra Headland to commence making surfboards on a full time basis.
This was the “nucleus” of what was to become an internationally recognised “ state of the art” surfcraft manufacturing company.
 

THE PRESENT

For the past 20 years Hayden Surfcraft has been owned and operated by Sunshine Coast locals Michael Hopper and Graham Cook. This partnership represents over 80 years combined experience in the surf industry. “ Mick “ and “Cookie” worked for the company prior to purchasing it from Hayden Kenny.
