This local industry and all that were fortunate to come in contact with him
will truly miss him. My heart goes out to his family,

My condolences to the Hayward family and all those who knew Carl. I didn't know him, but what everyone has shared here has done a good job of making any reader wish they did know him.

My condolences to scott and his family, carl was a genuinely kind person, a reflection of the Hayward families integrity and honesty. When I think of all the people carl has helped to enjoy the ocean on his handcrafted boards, I'm in awe, Just one aspect of his legacy as a human being. For 25 years he's made the time to shape a twin fin for me, now, the more I think about carl and his gift as a craftsman, I wish I told him how grateful I was. I'll thank him everytime I paddle out.
When I started surfing the pier regularly, late 70's, carl and dwight gave me a kneeboard or two to help me out, not only was I a new guy around but I was kneeboarder! In my opinion carl shaped the greatest twin fins around, I will always be in debt to carl and dwight for their kindness. Years later, when I needed a job and carl was working at Billabong/Hurley, carl hired me, again, his compassion and kindness, overwelming.
We have lost a wonderful human being.

Sad news

.

I was part of the Huntington kneeboard crowd that hung out at Tower 16 in the late 70s & early 80s. We enjoyed hanging out in the shop. I still enjoy riding one of his quads that I bought during the riots.

My condolences to the Hayward family.

Peace be with him,
Jamie

Carl's brother Scott Hayward has shape a killer kneeboard from one of Carl's templates. It came out so good. I thought Carl shaped it. Carl's gone, but not his legacy and memeroies.

So sad to hear.

Carl was the first to help me shape a board; back in '80. I was living in HB, running Sunline surfshop and he had his shop next door. He let me use his room and tools and I went to town. It came out a little thin, with very sharp rails, but it surfed!
I remember him as a very nice friend, good surfer/shaper and business man. It is people like him that make the surfing comunity better.
