Russell Hoyte: Happy Shaper

We here at Hoyte Designs believe that it's always good to be, well, .... happy while you work.

It helps make an excellent surfboard.

I snuck up on Russell while he was shaping.

This is a side of him you won't see unless you sneak in a video cam.

Happy Thursday everyone.

RHD Twynzer Review

This is a board review Paul C. put on his Facebook page and we wanted to show you guys.

I'ts word for word.

No edits:)

"This came to me as a loaner, and I quickly decided it was meant to be!

Whilst waiting for my custom Hoyte "Spitfire 2" to be shaped, Russell (Hoyte Designs) told me to give this rig a go. At 5'9", it's the shortest board I've ridden in decades.

My first outing was at PH during a strong south we had a few weeks back.

I was shocked how it handled the punchy 4-6 foot beach break with ease.

 Staying in the pocket and then accelerating smoothly through turns with tight arcs. This Twinzer feels more like an extension of my leg than it does a board under my feet. It's quick all around and very stable in "face chop".

 My only surprise is when I took it out in some weak, yet well formed, two foot waves. It didn't go. Nope, this puppy is power hungry! All the better I say!

As mentioned, not only has this Twinzer made it to the front of my quiver, the Spitfire 2 I was waiting on, is now waiting for me."

 

When Paul gets his Spitfire II we'll do a post on it. 

We're loving this Southern Cali weather and hope you are all getting some good waves.
If landlocked, here's to some ocean therapy soon!

Happy Thursday all!

I love this picture.

It speaks volumes to me.

1. The rainbow promising an amazing board and surf experience.

2. The warmth of the Hawaiin sun and water resonating from the picture.

3. The question: why the heck am I not in Hawaii at this very instant photographing our own boards in the warm sun and water?

Again, volumes.

Happy Monday All.

and Happy Spring.

Here's to warm sun and warmer water.
