Few outside Santa Cruz know the illustrious story of one of the best surfer-shapers to emerge from California. Haut could have built a career out of his surfing accomplishments: charging Sunset Beach in the 60's, being an invitee to the prestigious Duke Kahanamoku contest, five decades of riding Steamer Lane, the list goes on. But, Doug has continually avoided the limelight and focused on the duties at hand. Shaping and designing some of the most sought after boards in the Norcal scene. With over forty years of experience Haut is a master of all types: shortboards, longboards, hybrids, guns, windsurf boards few have done as many or done them as well Haut. At Surftech with our roots in Santa Cruz we are extremely stoked and honored to have Doug in our line-up. All of us here have ridden a Haut at some point in time and looked up to his pioneering surfing, progressive shaping, craftsmanship and leadership in our hometown.
