I was surprised that he won given that the judges were all non-surfers. Obviously it's more than just "'only a surfer understands".

i remember seeing the old inventors episode in which the 'parachute stuffed in your back pocket' leg rope substitute thingy was introduced to the world.
i couldn't believe it that one made it to the market.

i think it's brillant haydenshapes won....our shapers and designers and craftmen are the best in the world and i'm stoked see one them (finally) credited in the main stream

we build and make boards ( check j.ds thread)...as good or better than anywhere else in the world

it must send a postive message all aspiring shapers.....with a crazy idea in their heads

I watched that show and Hayden did a great job of being articulate and coming across as a genuine industrial designer/inventor. I couldn't help thinking the whole way through, "you think that looks good, wait 'till you see one Josh Dowling's alternative tech boards!".

I guess Hayden has the advantage of his tech being easily incorporated into any shapers skill/tool set, but JD's would have blown them away for sure.

Great result. Its funny how the shows vary so much. He was a shoe in against grandpa who reinvented the wheel for his skis and that bike, bobsled waterskiing thingy that was attached by two handkerchiefs. I thought that one looked interesting until they showed it in action. Talk about pushing water Cut to Hayden ripping up some nice Indo faces on a true product design.

Kind of a shame the shows getting the axe. James O'Laughlin gives me the sh^ts as a presenter but we need inventions.
