Innovative surfboard designer, entrepreneur and founder of Haydenshapes Surfboards, Hayden Cox, is selling his masterpiece Palm Beach home for $16m.

Five years ago the former Australian entrepreneur of the year and award-winning designer sold another Palmie home, in Barrenjoey Rd for $3.36m, and he and his wife Danielle upgraded to Pacific Rd.

They chose a north-facing house in the coveted pocket and spent three and a half years extending it and bringing all their creative energy into crafting a tri-level home where every room sees the ocean.

The home has six bedrooms, five bathrooms, garaging for three cars and includes a two-bedroom guest house, internal lift and wellness floor with infrared sauna and cold plunge bath.

There is also a heated wet-edge pool, media room, home theatre and gym.

Pacific Rd is known for being in a microclimate pocket protected from the wind but its lofty position yields unobstructed ocean views and the family told Vogue Living recently they occasionally see pods of dolphins or whales drifting by.

Wake up to this!

They designed much of the home themselves.

The expressions of interest campaign closes on October 7.

Hayden and Danielle designed and made much of the home themselves utilising their love of sustainable material. Hayden invented FutureFlex, the parabolic carbon fibre frame surfboard technology that is sold worldwide.

Famously Hayden got into the manufacturing industry as a schoolboy. He broke his favourite surfboard aged 15, couldn’t afford to buy a new one so learnt to make one instead. By the age of 16 he was selling surfboards to his teachers at school. His first factory opened on the northern beaches when he was 20.

Peter Robinson, of LJ Hooker Palm Beach, is marketing 28 Pacific Rd, Palm Beach, known as Alaia, describing it as a fusion of contemporary beach elegance and sustainable design and one of Sydney’s most exceptional luxury lifestyle escapes.

Alaia is on more than 900sqm of land and has an expressions of interest campaign closing October 7.
