“Surfing is art…
Such was the driving theme of Hot Buttered Surfboards as it exploded through the closing decades of the 20th century. Australian HB founder Terry Fitzgerald took to the world’s most challenging waves and used their feedback to change the course of how a surfboard could feel.
Today, as surfing matures and surfboards enter a new millennium, the HB umbrella includes surfers of the highest caliber and just as importantly surfer/shapers who as craftsmen are creating the surfboards of the future. Dennis Smith has been working as a licensed HB shaper for more than 30 years and is proud of his long association with one of the most authentic surf brands in the world.
“Art is surfing….”
Dennis has been a surfer & in the surf board industry for close to 40 years and designed and shaped them for HB since 76. He is the licensed shaper for Hot Buttered in the Canary Islands - specialising in building custom surfboards designed to clients exact specifications is what he does best.
With his years of surfing and the experience of working with some of the most influential surfers in the Canaries, Dennis is a true craftsman dedicated to designing and shaping surfboards to suit the style of each individual surfer.
Not all clients are advanced surfers, some are just at the beginning but their love affair with surfing is strong and they want the best board to speed their surfing development. He takes great pleasure in following the learning curve of a surfer through the different levels of their ability, often surfing with them (or videoing them) to assess their style and requirements.
